Harkie Defiance smock

[Treetom15]

Anyone got one or had good/bad experience with them? 
 

I had their innovation 2 smock, great for awful weather but terrible for climbing, just wondered how people rate the defiance as they look like quite a good fit for climbing?

Hi Tom

I thought I'd seen this topic before.  If you put Harkie Defiance in the search box, there already quite a bit of opinion on them on here.

Not having a go - just trying to help !

@ABtrees thanks, will have a look

EDIT-the other posts on here are related to the older smock (innovation 2) this is for the newer defiance model.

Also interested in peoples opinions on this jacket. Thinking of getting one as well

The Defiance doesn't look dissimilar to the Innovation in terms of length, which is what I found annoying about it for climbing in.

 

I used to wear old goretex jackets as they were fairly hard wearing for tree climbing but the zips would always go, Musto do a goretex smock that might be alright?

Petition to bring back the Cut and Climb - I wonder if there was a crowd funder and enough folk signed up whether they'd do another run of them?

I tried a cut & climb jacket on a training course ages ago, spent the whole day in it and by far the best I’ve tried for climbing in. Someone must have the rights/pattern to it somewhere?
