chilli 368 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Has anybody tried nomad stealth green smock ? Quote Link to post
rhoderick1888 1 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 not tried the smock but got a nomad jacket and they are quality gear, best jacket ive had. take no waterproofing or anything like that, easy to wash and dry Quote Link to post
Neal 1,788 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'd say Paramo too. I know what you mean about having to re-proof them but it's just a case of slinging it in the washing machine every few months. As for rips, I must admit I'm slightly more cautious wearing it going through a barbed wire fence than I would be in a cheaper jacket, but their blurb claims you could fill it with pins and it would still keep you dry. I think this is basically because it's not waterproof in the formal recognized sense but mine keeps me completely dry despite having been perforated by numerous thorns. Quote Link to post
