Harkie Smock?

[TWA2016]

Its getting to that time of year, when i'm starting to fancy the option of climbing in something thats gonna keep a bit more of the weather out.

 

Has anyone any experience of Harkie Smocks? How do you rate them?

 

Thanks

Well if you get one now it'll probably be waterproof till about Christmas

We've got several and the climbers tend to remove them after 5 mins getting too hot, might be better if they wore the breathable tshirts etc but no good in normal clothing.

 

They're OK on the deck but the zip broke on mine very quickly.

I use long sleeve underarmor it doesn't get too hot or cold when climbing. Never got on climbing with waterproofs on always get too hot!

I only use mine on the ground, find it a little warm while climbing

Got a cut and climb, cut is good but that has leaked from new.

 

Got a desert camo jacket goretex apparently. like wearing a tent and i dont think it gives a very good impression but it is the driest jacket i have had thus far and probably the cheapest. A bonus that the collar fits over my chainsaw helmet as well

The SIP KIEU so far is very good.

So it's much better than the Pfanner Ventura then.
