Just been flicking through the Bushwear catalogue and seen this, looks like a Tahr but with the missing hand warmer pocket we've always wanted ...

that's very close to my ideal shell layer, at a slightly higher price than all the rest of my "kit" put together, i think i shall have to pass for the moment :)

£350 for a coat? Thats waaaaay steep. I do like it though. Looks an ideal winter jacket.

Wonder if its available cheaper across the pond....

Digging this thread up because I had a good look at this Swedteam Titan smock in Bushwear today. I had almost talked myself into wanting one, but ended up putting it back on the rack:
- slightly funny cut - rather baggy hood, small on chest, long on arms (like many Swedish garments!)
- front pouch gives you an instant beer belly when the waist is cinched up (this may not bother you or you may already have one, in which case it will be very convenient)
- Very heavy tough cordura-like outer fabric with a goretex drop liner inside which is exposed inside and quite vulnerable, I would say. It's going to get very heavy when wet, and pretty hot in most weathers. Also the outer fabric doesn't look right somehow, for the money.
- Very long, even for an NZ-style smock, which doesn't suit me but might suit others
- I finally concluded that a full-zip jacket is more useful for 95% of people, for that matter

Why do these long smock-type jackets have non-symmetrical chest pockets?
