Arktis B310

B310 Waterproof Combat Smock - Olive Green

The B310 is a fully waterproof combat smock used by Special Forces & tough military units around the world. We originally designed the B310 for the SAS in the late 80's. There have been a few tweaks over the years, however the fundamentals for a simple and reliable jacket have remained the same...

Arcteryx Leaf Alpha in Crocodile

Have jacket and pants well into ten probably closer to fifteen years of every week use

Still waterproof and still extremely durable - one zip on a selfie used pocket ceased to work this year

May be spendy but quality lasts

Stoney Creek Stillwater

+1

Bought one last week and gave it a good test this weekend while stalking Sika. Zero complaints from me and happy with my purchase. Theyre on sale currently too, although I've no idea if it's a bit like the DFS sale that never ends

I have used various smocks jackets, a swedteam titan which is virtually indestructible and keeps me warm and dry in the worst conditions it's downside is unless you get a decent used one they are no longer available but it would probably be on the heavy side for lots of walking on the hill in anything other than wettest coldest weather.

The best most versatile smock I use nowadays is the Keela parachutist it's fantastic in all conditions I use this most nowadays you can get them in good condition used on eBay, try and look at the Mk5 the latest version another plus it's easier to put on take off than the swed while retaining the long length along with a multitude of pockets to carry everything you'd ever need.

Kuiu Yukon rain jacket. However, I must say that I am extremely satisfied with a military surplus Austrian Alpine Gore-tex over jacket. It is completely waterproof and breathable performing at the same level of gartments at least ten times more expensive!

+1 for the Yukon, its my daily rain jacket and loving it.

Deerhunter gamekeeper jacket
Lightweight, waterproof, quiet, plenty of pockets and vents. And keeps your backside dry if you sit down

Someone showed me a jacket made by Carinthia, looked good, but not impressed by the zip quality. I think his son is possibly in Special Forces!

My stoney creek suppressor leaks like a tap

Send it back
the warranty is excellent and they are usually extremely solid for waterproofing

 

[JockStalk]

Flecktarn goretex jacket and salopettes for when it’s hosing down. The full outfit less than £50 and hard wearing but you’ll not get soaked (in financially induced tears) if you rip it on a fence

If you have the budget,
FORTIS Forester Coat
British made,
Waterproof even in horizontal rain.
I've had it over 10 years.
Used 4 or 5 days a week.
I love it so much, I sent it for repairs about 3 years ago, a new Waterptoof drop liner, and some sewing and patching.
Cost for repairs £100.00 plus carriage.
The alternative was black sack and landfill.
Brilliant service.
