Well done TCM Let us know what your prize is when it turns up.

My smock was waiting when I got home and I couldnt get it out of the packaging quick enough. I wasn't dissapointed, it's superb and the quality is fantastic. I wouldnt have been suprised if they were three times the price; this has to be the bargain of the year. Bring on the rain and wind!!

Thanks again to all those involved, I hope there are other GBs like this one.

Mine arrived today. I thought "corr what a heavy effing package this jacket is gonna weigh a ton!!" then when I ripped it open I realised how much paracord Kev had included. Don't think I'll be running out anytime soon. Maybe I can even try and make a paracord hammock?

As for the jacket, fits me perfect and I was pleasantly surprised with the shade of the camo - the Danish trousers I have are a much brighter green. Even on the jacket one chest pocket flap and the inner linings are the brighter shade - perhaps this is how Kev managed to get them cheaper? I think the more muted shade is a lot better, actually. Wonder what the folks at work are going to say when I turn up tomorrow heheh

Received mine today. Very pleased with it. Like other posts mention, the jacket size has ample room for layering. Being a 42" chest, I chose on the side of bigger would be better than smaller. Already looking forward to the rain!
Thanks folks for sorting out!
Cheers

did anybody get the med is big in size, dont know wether to get med or the large , i'm thinking about a fleece underneeth ...

 

[hiho]

there's got to be a thread soon as to what you keep in the pockets...

 

[Roe Ring]

Good point TeeDee, as a newbee I have a long list of things I need to aquire, so I'll keep the prospects of a GB in mind.

Thanks again for all your efforts; I hope to be able to repay the favour

 

[Roe Ring]

gsfgaz - I am a 43" chest, 5' 10" and opted for the large. I'm glad I did as it fits great with room for a fleece underneath. Bear in mind that the smock doesnt have any padding, just the outer rip-stop polycotton and the inner drop liner so you will need extra layers for the colder weather. I would say that the sizing is about bang on average for UK sizes, not too small or overly generous.

Hope that helps.

I got a medium. I'm a 40" chest. Just put on a second fleecey and my bodywarmer and then the jacket, and fits snug, I think any more (not that you'd really need to put many more layers on..) and it'd start getting a too tight. Saying that if you're anything mroe than a 40" chest I'd say go for a large as it might be a bit of a close fit pit to pit.

Never had a jacket with this many pockets tbh. Loving the bum pockets tho I wish the jacket had hand warmer pockets! From first impressions I think that's the only thing I'd change.

Heh, I thought exactly the same, just didn't realise how much paracord I was going to get

These jackets seem brand new, they can't have been issued?

Definately brand new. Ditto on the paracord. Not quite sure what to do with it all. New shoe laces for the boots me thinks as a start!
