AA Smock...

Fri Dec 29, 2006 11:32 am

Spent over 3 hours in 30-40 mph winds gusting well over that combined with heavy driving, blinding rain. Was wearing the AA smock over a fleece. No draughts and no leaks whatsoever. Even with the hood pulled tight around my face it didnt affect the headlamp I was wearing. Combine that with 2 huge pockets, front and back and fleece lined hand warmer pocket. Velcro straps to keep water from entering cuffs and keep it snug around your waist.

Super bit of kit, not cheap but well worth the few quid, I highly recommend them.

Theyre a good smock alright, my only problem with them is the velcro on the front pocket, if anything its too strong. The stitching has come away on the back of the pocket on mine from the force needed to pull the velcro open.

I've found it very good but I'll have to wait a year or so and see if its still as good. The velcro came back from the back pocket on mine as well. You have to be careful opening the pockets. One question is why have a back pocket?

99 yoyos seems to be the going rate for the smock. I've got the smock, 13' beach rod and rig wallet. No complaints so far. Top kit all round.
