Hi, I'm looking for a good quality waterproof/outdoor jacket. Something practical and hard wearing.
I've stumbled across Arktis and their seamingly famous smocks.
http://www.arktisoutdoor.co.uk/arktis-m ... smock-b110
Just wondering if anyone has one and what their thoughts are? Are they hardwaring, comfortable, water resistant, practical?
I see they do the B110 smock which doesn't have a lining and a B310 fully water proof (with drop liner) . I seen that would could also get a B110 smock then get a Light Rainshield Coat which makes it a fully water proof system. I thought this maybe the way to go as thought the B310 could be too warm in the British summer but I could adapt to the weather with this combination.

Re: Arktis smocks
They look a bit 'military' for me, I'm a bit more 'grey', I tend to wear standard walking stuff from the likes of Berghaus. Whatever works for you though mate.
Re: Arktis smocks
Yeah that was my thinking, but they do Navy blue, grey, black etc so there are less military style options. Cheers.

Yup, still got a couple I wear for walking the dugs, wouldn't pick them to walk up hills but at that price they're an absolute steal.Yorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 7:54 pm https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Royal-Navy-wat ... 2878580188

I've got a crab one as well but they look more like a flasher Mac and have no hood! The quilted liner is nice though

It it works, it works. There are some bargains out there, some in surplus and some on ebay/Amazon.Yorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 8:26 pm
