I ordered a black smock and have been delighted with it. Extremely warm and excellent for cold damp conditions. I have been wearing just a base layer and the smock and found it to comfortable and warm in wet and cold -5 degrees with no further layers. Ideal for weather conditions where high degree of damp and activity taking place. It’s very breathable. I’m 87kg 5’8” and ordered the XL- slightly loose fit.
Just test-driven this smock in wild conditions in the Cairngorms (40MPH wind, wind-chill -17C) and it really stood up well, worn over a Helly Hansen Lifa base layer and a lightweight wool mid-layer. Good close fit and excellent, thickly insulated hood and neck flap. Loads of room in the kangaroo pocket for map case, phone, gloves, goggles and there is a cosy microfleece handwarmer behind that. Side zips allow effective venting on the walk in and velcro tabs allow you to cinch in the hem when you need to. No internal pockets and the sleeve pocket is too small to be practical, but overall I'm very satisfied with this for cold weather walking.
This is my second Montane extreme smock.(I've gone up a size). Excellent value, hood is included, and the ultimate cover for bitter cold or windy weather. Improved version too. Wear next to skin or over light base layer.
