Quite fancy a Century thermo smock for xmas, just wondering if anyone's tried one, or any other suggestions in a similar price range (£75)
What about a woobie 👍

Had to google that one. Not for me I'm afraid, I like the smock type garments.

Not looking at the blanket ?
They do a hoody type smock but I guess it's what defines a smock lol
I also have the winter version of this and it's great

But
a bit more money then the arktis mammoth is right up there along with the buffalo
Special 6 but they are expensive and both stupidly warm
Only need a t shirt under neath either

Ridgeline make the best waterproof smocks. Depends what you are after, warmth Vs waterproof?

Not so keen on the woobie, but the Brandit looks good, I'll have a search for a winter version.
I like the Arktis mammoth, definitely worth considering.
I've got a couple of the Trakker pile and pertex copies of the Buffalo, they're very good but maybe more suited to someone more active than the average carper. Both are showing their age now, and I don't fancy forking out Buffalo prices.

Looking for warmth, showerproof would be a bonus, as long as it didn't reduce the breathability too much.
My lads got a Ridgeline jacket, and quite rates it.

They are excellent. More waterproof than warmth though... I just wear other layers underneath.

I've got a Deerhunter jacket, quite similar to a Ridgeline, and an older Musto Storm, very waterproof (28000HH) but the zips are starting to go. I've also got a couple of other waterproofs, a Sundridge and a Fortress flexothane, so well covered for waterproofs.
I've recently dug out a long stockman coat, thought it would be ideal for sitting under the brolly in the rain and will pretty much cover my legs if I have to go outside.

I'd seen that, but preorder only only, with no suggestion of timescale.
TBH I'd want to try on before I buy, so would go to my local, if he's stocking them.

I've got the century thermal smock for beach fishing and rate it highly for warmth but like any technical garment wear it with a decent base layer in my case I use heavy merino wool long sleeve zip neck but the smock is not waterproof and I wear a separate waterproof breathable smock. I've also got the korda thermal jacket as well which is more expensive but better tailored and better quality and although they claim it shower proof I would still wear a waterproof jacket over it if raining.

Thanks for the reply Goose, but I've ended up going down the jacket route. I've ordered a Snugpak SJ9, just hope it fits OK. My Trakker pile and pertex smocks will have to do me a while longer.

Did you order the fortis/snugpak or direct from snugpak
I found the fortis version all over the place with cut and sizing and went through every one in Johnson Ross to find one in the same size that wasn't too tight or too loose.

I think it's the Fortis version, ordered from AD. Getting nervous about the sizing.
