I know. It's just very few people realise the bit east of Inverness is ridiculously dry! The winter here was non existent and I had my 'warm' jacket on only to stand around. Adventures ahead. This could be just the ticket.

Another question from the dry bit east of Inverness :cool:: what's waxed cotton like near fires made by enthusiastic Scouts?

AND are there likely to be any more ventile dogs?

All the best.

Just a quick update on my waxed cotton Rain-dog. I have been away for the last 2 weeks on the west coast of Scotland and we have had quite a bit of rain, my Rain-dog was worn most days and for some of those days for quite a long period of time. The smock did not let me down at all it coped brilliantly with torrential rain and drizzle alike far better than Goretex or other so called waterproof coats, and I have owned many of these as well.
The smock is relatively light weight so ideal for when the weather is warm.
The only slight criticism that I had for the smock was that depending on which way the wind was blowing the pocket had a tendency to collect water nothing that couldn't be sorted out with a storm flap, also the sleeves could perhaps do with Velcro adjusters so that they don't bellow in the wind I do understand that this would put the price up a bit but that would be well worth the extra cost.
if you haven't got one of these smocks then you definitely need to get one.

What a fantastic weekend to coincide with taking ownership of a Rain-Dogs!

goodjob:dancer::thankyou:

I've had mine on all day, and needed it too. Wet legs, but the 5.11 Taclites dry quickly enough for it not to be a problem in these temperatures. A very good bit of kit.

Indeed.

I asked Cliff to make the cuff a bit wider than usual* to allow me to roll the sleeves up in the rain ~ a bit of temperature control for times of exertion ;) . Works like a dream!

* I provided the required measurement based on a cuff I knew I could roll up
