I've an Imax smock and while it's grand in a bit of rain a 5 hour session in a downpour you'd be soaked. Better off getting a proper breathable raincoat or jacket from Millets or the Great Outdoors.

I have the orginall Titian smock must be getting on for 20 odd years now bought it off Ger Mahony when he owned Viking Tackle They were are great smock and never let me down in the early years, but age caught up with it and its now retired to the bait digging kit. The newer type ones are not as good of quality and I have heard they leak. If you want something thats going to keep you dry in the worst conditions get a good Gill yacthing jacket might be more expensive but its cheaper in the long run. I have one and its the bill whizz!!!!
