hard wearing waterproofs?

[dsearle]

Anybody know about this Ridgeline Pintail Smock

 

I found the coat because I was looking at the Swazi Tahr and they mentioned the ridgeline monsoon as an alternative and I therefore came across the pintail Ridgeline Monsoon ELITE Waterproof Smock Jacket - Teak

 

Anybody have any experience with durability, as you guys know it is't just about how waterproof it is, it is how it stays waterproof getting jabbed my thorns and stuff all day

I got the Pintail last year and love it, but it's too good for work!

Seems pretty tough, done a winters walking, beating, shooting etc. without a scratch.

I hear you, on the too nice for work but you can get one for £80 and a cut and climb is 150

I hear that.

Has a nice bit of stretch to it as well.

TBH if you trash it after a year and it keeps you working on those really vile sleety days it won't owe you anything.

How warm is it?

[Mark Bolam]

A bit too warm for summer use.

Even just over a wicking-T you sweat a lot climbing, but then I've never found a waterproof that is genuinely cool.

I might give this one a punt.

 

Interesting site in all.

 

I'm sending another 2 Raintech Stihl waterproofs back to Honeybros as the main zips have pulled out at the bottom and can't be replaced economically.

I like the design very much but this makes 4 jackets now which have gone at the zip.
