abu smock

recently purchased one under the influence from a bad sales man in a shop i wont mention that it was 100 percent water proof
well it aint
i was soaked to the t shirt last sunday week in a comp
when i emailed the managing director of abu this is what i got back




Hi there,

The smocks are showerproof, breathable but not 100% waterproof: If you are
not satisfied then you need to return it to the retailer from where you
purchased it.

Best regards,

so just incase any of you guys thinking of getting one

:shock: :shock:

I have one and it has done the job - it is fine.

I detected a small bit of wetness but that was in a real heavy shower with the wind blowing the rain sideways.

Try some spray on water-proofing.

What price did you pay for the smock?

Jude

cant remeber how much think it was around 75

ive no probs using the spray when i have to but i was told it was water proof in shop so i guess he will be getting in back it comes nowere near my old titan smock
i will be getting another one of those

cant remeber how much think it was around 75

Yo-Yos or Sterling?

bout 70 euro ill tell you later when i bring it back lol

dont think you will beat the titan brock the have been around for yonks

Most people I know say the Titan smocks leak worse than the Abu one...the seam around the neck has no tape on at all....that area is the first place to leak on most hooded garments.

Tom.

the titan smock i had was the old one and the seem around the neck seemed to be waterproofed back then guess its going to be the anyfish anywere one guaranteed to be 100 % waterproof by them

how much are they brock?

99 euro in bray but mick will do something if a few guys in the club want them ill talk to the lads and tell ya how much we are looking at
well worth looking on there site about it it seems the dogs

ill give it a look now man

yea gotta agree they are a cracking rod but no point me keeping it when i wasnt using it i normaly use the awt when pleasure fishing so that one was used maybe five to ten times

i ave an abu smock aswel cant complain about it but after a couple of hours standing in torrential rain it will leak a bit at the upper back, shower proof would be an accurate description.

I was given a fisheagle smock, I sprayed it with liquid silicone it will turn little rain and wind ,very wide sleeves on the large sized one .
