Cheap, but lightweight smock?

[pauljm116]

I've got one of these http://www.mountainwarehouse.com/me...ns-pakka-waterproof-jacket-p2627.aspx?cl=Navy in black but thought it could be good if you got one in red for him, not too expensive and packs up about the same size as a tin of beans.

£3 from me too. I have a Pac a Mac somewhere and some waxed cotton over trousers if my wife hasn't sent them to our local charity shop. Will take a look this weekend.

Thanks for your offer of £3. I won't take you up on it though. If I did it would mean I didn't put any money in myself. I've accepted the help of the guys above and ordered the Helikon Tex smock.

Thanks Paul, I've ordered now. I'll let you know how he reacts.

Hope he likes it. I've never used mine but it ticks all the boxes.

Money sent mate.

Well done that man - and everyone else on this thread. I'd be happy to chip in £3 also. Let us know.
Cheers

Just seen this; I've got an unused pac-a-mac in my kit that is spare, hardly used, maybe once. I note you've already ordered something so count me in for a £3 donation mate. Hats off to you mate for being so thoughtful, you're right, it could be anyone of us.

He'll have a better wardrobe than me at this rate.

From asking for a bit of advice on lightweight smocks, we've gone full on sharing the cost. I was just going to buy him a smock anyway at my cost. Astounding :notworthy

Happy to donate £3 as well

Just an update. I caught up with Michael on his travels last weekend, sweltering heat, not a cloud, no rain in sight, typical really.

I passed him the poncho, said I'd had a clear out of the man cupboard so as not to let him feel it was a charitable gift. He was pleased as punch, said he could just fling it on when the skies opened, and tucked it into his bag.

A job well done gentleman, my thanks again. I didn't have any intention of asking for anything towards it but you guys seemed to want to be a part, it's made it a rewarding experience for me too

Bigbear, I'm reversing your payment. No offence fella, but it actually puts me in profit and I'm not happy with that. He'll need new shoes soon I reckon

Humbled by you lot. :You_Rock_

Hey mate, just glad he liked it and has a use for it.
Even bush crafters can help in society. Maybe we should start calling Tony Acela and start issuing badges for all our good work!
Seriously though, well done mate.
