harkie hiviz smock

[Roni Macdonald]

I need Hi-Viz and don't know of any other so called climbing waterproof jackets with it.

My two cents on my Harkie smock

 

The collar is too small a diameter for me to zip it all the way up, it squeezes my face/jaw.

I find it incredibly sweaty, it would be nice if it had armpit and chest vents. The jacket wets out from sweat. Also it could do with a mesh lining throughout to help keep it from wetting out.

 

I like the oversize collar as it keeps your neck dry and the fit is otherwise excellent.

 

Hope this helps

Sounds a bit like all the rest, thanks for that, will keep looking. Don't really like smocks. Really do wonder if anything is truely waterproof and breathable.

The boss got a couple of Harkie jackets for the boys to try out. The only time he has worn it was when we went to the snow for the day. Great look snowboarding.He reckoned it was awesome. Im pretty sure everyone on the mountain thought that he was someones 'special' cousin. I wear a helly hansen heletech jacket. Its a great jacket, its got me through many a wet day.

These smocks are great, the pants are not bad for waterproof but dont last long because of poor stitching.

Highly recommend them,cheaper and far more waterproof than some other more expensive makes.As said before the longer arms and high neck are great for climbing.Velcro on the cuffs tends to get a bit clogged up in sitka though.The company logo has a minimum order of 25 though!

For what's its worth I think there great, I just pressure wash mine off!

I'm quite fancying one but it's a shame they only do hi viz.

They are a good quality waterproof jacket, though hot and sweaty to climb and work in, however which ones ar'nt. Ideal for on the stop go board
