Flecktarn Smock ?

This is a good price, only question - is it showerproof ?

none of it is waterproofed but you can spray it, like any garment it'll take some water comfortably. the key thing is its a polycotton so fast drying especially in a light breeze.

as to the price as they're out of stock its purely acedemic but yes it is a good price for a quality bit of kit. the woodland ones are freely available and just as cheap.

I have the woodland flecktarn version. Excellent jacket, better than the standard British smock. Not waterproof but if I was caught in a shower I wouldn't be too worried. There is also a quilted liner available for this jacket for around £6. Together they make an excellent combination for all temperatures. A real bargain.

I think thats the one anyway, I use a standard flectarn smock a lot of the time and proofed it with nikwax. makes it showerproof and dries very quickly.
very hard wearing bits of gear as well.
cheers

Agree - very hard-wearing but somewhat spongelike in my experience if you don't proof them.

I really like that smock, I'll have to get one if they still have any available, thanks

Theres not much flecktarn I dont like, as stated before its very hard wearing and a good camo imo.
