Hi All,
I want to buy a warm smock/jacket. I have done a bit of searching about and I think it comes down to a few choices.
Snugpak sleeka
Snugpak pile shirt
Montane smock
Buffalo shirt
I know a few people on here probably have one or all of the above so I have a few questions for you.
What size do these pack down to.
How durable are they in the woods, brambles etc.
Are they quiet
If you already have one would you buy another if you lost it or whatever.
Sparks????
I know that some of these are designed as a one stop layering system but I would imagine that I would be wearing some layers underneath depending on conditions. Would that be a problem ?
I would be using the smock for general pottering about the woods but I would be stationary for long periods early in the mornings and obviously late at night around a fire. Bearing in mind that it can be cold and wet and warm etc all in the space of a few hours in this country, am I on the right track with these smocks.
I'm sorry for all the questions its just that we dont have any suppliers in my area and I cannot get to see them in the flesh so your help would be appreciated.
Thanking you all in advance
Andrew
