ARKTIS B310 ON SALE

[SCOMAN]

The Arktis smock, waterproof version is on sale for £133. Good price for a great smock

B310 Waterproof Combat Smock - Coyote

The B310 is a fully waterproof combat smock used by Special Forces & touch military units around the world. We originally designed the B310 for the SAS in the late 80's. There have been a few tweaks over the years, however the fundamentals for a simple and reliable jacket have remained the same...

I've been after one of these for a while!

I wander if these are of the same standard?

Pardon our interruption...

Got one.... Arrived today.
Sizing is generous - medium is a bit big for me, but usable.

Looks well - has all the features of the new issue smock.... Fleece hand warmer pockets, pit zips etc.

It's a 65 /35 poly cotton mix. Or feels still out of the packet but I'm sure it'll soften with abuse.

One thing I will do is remove the velcro patches from the arm pockets - the make upper sleeve a bit stiff. I might even remove the pockets. This is a quick unpicking job.

For the price it looks like a good buy for a beating, dog walking and gardening jacket.

It is replacing a Jack Pyke Ashcombe - a good jacket but after 3 hard years with gets very damp inside and the zips are going.

One advantage of the GS is the fixed hood - I suspect alot of the rain that gets in the Jack Pyke is blown in via the gap between hood and jacket

What's it like for breathability? I'm probably going to give it a go.

Not too bad.

Been wearing it beating. Can get a bit warm if dressed for standing around when set off... But just remove a layer.

It's pretty much like any "gore-tex" with a liner.

The hood is certainly weather proof

Being 60:40 poly cotton it is noticeably synthetic and a bit stiff as new.

But it is softening with use

I believe this belongs/belonged to Addo. Not sure if he’s still around on here.

Heck, I'd have bought that for £70
