Ex-Army Issue Goretex Smocks

Done a bit of research online for new waterproofs & I don’t mind spending a few quid for something durable that will keep me dry in our sometimes inhospitable climate!

A lot of guys in the UK (especially game anglers) have started using these to great fanfare. I got one in November and have used it a few times since – very impressive, not a hint of a leak so far (just as well) and because they are made from Goretex (breathable) you don’t sweat up like you can do in others.

€50 delivered to my door from an Army Surplus store in the UK – I like to support my local tackle shops, but I have not found a good smock that fits the purpose since the Imax Lime Green. So decided to take a punt on this. Deffo worth a look for the money.

Great bit of kit they can be got for €20 if you look around

lads in the uk swear by them and the guy cotton smocks

Worth a look anyhow
Cheers for the heads up
