Sounds like the Nomad quad rider ticks all the boxes, I have the standard smock from nomad and a game jacket both over 10 years old and functioning the same as day i bought them with a little wear and tare.
I'd be interested n replacements if there are any out there

Plus one for the Stornoway, good long side zip for when you get warm, decent pouch, quiet and long enough - can't get on with short jackets..
Thanks dvs1 good to know you can’t get that swedteam before I waste a load of time looking!Like you I wanted the ultra lightweight smock by Swedteam, I tried one on once and it was awesome! However discontinued and I tried to source one abroad at great lengths with no joy.
I then had the swedteam Ridge Pro M above which was a good smock, nice features, poachers pocket on the back too! Neoprene cuffs though and damn hot!
Currently running the Harkila Orton Tech Packable Smock, I'd say this would tick your boxes!
Ultra lightweight, no neoprene cuff, big kangaroo pocket, hardware pockets, permanently attached hood, full length side zip for easy on and off.
Not tested it in heavy rain but for all your demands it'll be perfect.

If you want anymore info or specific photos of the smock just let me know mate
Will take a look at the Harkila, I think I saw a lad with one on my dsc1 actually…
Are nomad still making stuff? The website has the crappest pictures in the world
To be honest I would say no, I wouldntt buy another at current price. They are very good, they are very waterproof and they breathe quite well, but there’s not a lot of features to make them so expensive. Annoying things like the chest pocket zip isn’t waterproof, so your phone ends up in a little pool of water, they’re not cut super long so you can get a wet bum when out on a quad etc.
they’re a good garment, but to buy another I’d want to be paying around £200.
These are far and away better, still U.K. made, but with waterproof zips, great pockets, and you can choose the length. Fortis® Unisex Recon Smock – Fortis Clothing
I really rate fortis gear.
No I don't think so, the boy sadly passed away last year I think.
There are still a few lurking around in various places, there was a comment about a shop in Newton Stewart still having stock.
FORTIS are worth a look.

These do look rather smart and tick the kangaroo pocket requirement. Just not sure about the colour and paleness of the material.Hunting Anorak

I don’t own one but will buy one soon and happy to feed back.
First became aware of the product after watching season 9 of Alone and one of the contestants (Adam) used this gear. Got to say the colour looks fine - perfect in fact.
But I’ll put my money where my mouth is and let you know!
