Smock Top

[Nithsdale]

Yep the stuff is brilliant, im decathlon daft my brother buys all the fancy gear sealand harkila and so on i can assure you im warmer and drier for quarter of the price. Love the stuff but i often buy more stuff than i need as it seems like such a bargain so have stuff ive never worn on reserve.

I hear ya Edinburgh store is pretty good.

I'm typing this wearing their wool windbreaker jumper

fücking hell thats grim. Would you buy second hand underwear off eBay?

He didn't say what the smell was.... might have been......shall we say, 'pleasant'?

 

[ollie989898]

Bought one of these off ebay for £66 I think with hat, gloves and socks chucked in. Give it a go anyway. I never have to be that far from main buildings so can always change if it gets too wet. Prefer to have a couple cheaper that I can swap than one expensive one and be knackered if I damage it.

I was tempted to buy one of these last year, my thinking was if I ruined it on barbed wire or doing something daft (fudging about with grease or something) then it wouldn't hurt too much if it had to be binned. Let us know how you get on.

I generate too much heat the moment I am working to wear too much goretex type stuff. I'd sooner wear a softshell and have a waterproof layer I can put on or take off for rain.

Depends who'd worn them, obviously

well I’ll raise the funds for a weigh head and stick reader any way I can.

How many sets do you want big boy?

Wipe clean, very waterproof, very durable, dries quickly, won’t stink:

Guy Cotten Dremtop Smock – Jackets, Smocks, Workwear Clothing – Mike Cornish

Smock version of the DREMPRO JACKET - The Dremtop smock is a breathable and extremely strong top. This new generation of smock is a real innovation. The HybridPro+ technique is a leap forward in comfort at work. Especially on a airproof garment like a regular smock is, it is justified even more...

Winner?

My xl size smock arrived today. Was only posted yesterday. Great service from the company.

 

[Tubbylew]

This thread is entirely responsible for creating within me a burning longing to possess a swanndri.

A second hand (and rather smelly) one arrived this weekend from ebay.

I've been sticking mine in the washing machine on a cool quick wash for years and haven't noticed any detrimental effects.

Got the new ridgeline evolution smock for my birthday, we have had over 4 inches of rain since Monday morning, and I have been out in most of it but this smock has kept me bone dry, really pleased with it, big improvement over my classic, maybe not so warm, but better in every other way

How quick does it dry? Ready to go again the next morning?

If it was in a cold porch or left in a shed it would not be dry, but drys quickly beside the stove or in the kitchen.

Not smocks, but gloves...

I normally wear Sealskinz UltraGrip gloves. They're woolen and work a bit like the smocks as they wick/repel the water away from your skin through a membrane. I really like them as you can still do things when wearing them. They used to be £18-£20 but are now £30-£35 so I've started looking for alternatives as it's too expensive IMO.

Found these on eBay

Delivered yesterday, worn them today on the bike

I think they're acrylic, so I'm not saving the planet. But so far very pleased with them. Feel just as good as the Sealskinz on. They rate very low for warmth, though, so if you suffer with cold hands they wouldn't be good. Never been an issue with me - except the throttle thumb (but it gets frozen in any type of glove I've tried). The water just runs off them, too, so definitely waterproof when new!...


I've another pair similar, but neoprene, coming to try.

Have you got any hand guards on your quad?

Have you got any hand guards on your quad?

Not at the moment but I have handlebar mitts through the winter. Do a great job to stop wind chill.

Don't like those plastic guard things

 

[Downton_shep]

Set of these with heated grips and thumb and you’ll not need gloves.
and much safer than mitts!

Aye... It's them things I don't like.
Heated grips are fine til they stop working

The Logic grips never lasted but the ones that came on the can am (not can am’s own) never let me down. They were for snowmobiles. @neilo probably has them on his so might know the make.

‘Heat Demons’ or something like that iirc (I’ll have to check)? I’d not be without heated grips (& throttle warmer) and the wind deflectors make a hell of a difference too ime, as well as providing somewhere sensible to put the switches for the grips.

Pair of latex disposable milking gloves under your main pair helps keep hands warm when on the bike.
