Whats the difference between a SAS smock and a SASS smock?

[bmartin1uk]

Sorry if im being an idiot. There also seems to be a massive price difference on smocks. Are some better than others?

The Sass ones are made to fit with an array of optional extras available. I think they are reasonably priced for what you get, the service is excellent too.

The Sass smocks are high quality and worth the money imho.

i've had 2, i had the 'ventile-ish' smock, in standard configuration, which is the best windproof i've ever used, but sadly got sold as though everyone says they are a generous cut that wasn't my experience.
i currently have a gaberdine smock, can't remember which modelt it is, but it has longer chest pockets that take an OS map, zipped map pockets behind those, a compass pocket on the front of one of the pockets, and velcro pockets on the back of the forearms for crawling pads.

i found them to be very well made, and materials to highest quality. next one i get will be a larger one, and will be the ventile type again but with my current smock's specs. if they respond to my emails next time.

I had one of the first three ventile smocks SASS made

It will not die!

Superb thing, built like a tank, the more I wear it, the better it gets

SASS one is the one the SAS would like to be issued
