These are great jackets. I agree with every thing you said. Mine is black, I didn't get the od green because i wasn't sure how it would look with the black buttons. Now that I've seen yours I like it. Thanks for a great review
The part that wears out for me is the sleeves at the wrist. I had the original with the wool liner. This thing with some space in it like you got here, its got room for alllllll the layers you will ever need, I wore this in Sweden , in the summer without the liner and then put it away for fall, when it freezes up install the liner and go till it starts to rain..
No DWR, but maybe that's meant to be? I treated it myself Why is the hood so exaggeratedly large? Otherwise a super nice smock. The sleeves are too short so I had to unfold the hem and move the velcro. Too bad I couldn't find measurements on the models, I asked Varusteleka and they ment that Regular was the same measurement as the Recon smock that I bought in both colors.
Great piece of kit, everyone I know rates the Sarma SAS smock who has one. Looking trim and fit Stuart, have you stepped your training regimen up a little recently mate?
