Särmä Windproof Smock

Our take on the classic British Windproof Smock with improvements and civilian-friendly colors. If you're tired of sweating in 'tex clothing but want some protection from showers, you'd do well to give this a try.

The manufacturing of this product is moving out of China as part of our Project MEGA. We will not replenish it. A redesigned, made-in-Europe product will replace this one. If you want this product in its current form, it is time to hit that add-to-cart button.

• Unlined, roomy shell parka
• A lot of useful pocket space
• 65/35 % polycotton
• If you want a more form-fitting jacket, pick a size smaller than recommended.

It should be common knowledge that a more versatile outdoor jacket than the Windproof Smock doesn't exist. It breathes better than any plastic shell jacket with a membrane, is more resistant to wear, and still offers a significant level of protection from the rain. It can be worn over a base layer during mobile activity in cool weather or packed with insulating mid-layers for keeping warm during breaks.

Material and care

65/35% polycotton. Wash in 40 degrees Celsius. PU-coated for windproofing. The whole package breathes still very well. Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash.

The Särmä Windproof fabric responds well to treatment with Särmä Fabric Wax or Woly Protector spray. A thorough impregnation with wax makes the garment waterproof. Apply as necessary!

Colour selection

One of the reasons Särmä Windproof Smock was developed was a need for a single-color version of the British classic. Our basic selection includes black and green, other colors may come and go depending on season and demand.

Size info

We have listed first the easy size, then the user's recommended measurements: user height/chest circumference. These are generously cut to accommodate mid-layers (for example, a sweater and a fleece). If you fall between two sizes, decide if you want a more closely fitting jacket or more allowance for clothes worn underneath. If you definitely just want a slim fitting jacket, pick a full size smaller than recommended.

Below are the actual circumference and sleeve length from the shoulder seam. The hem and waist are the same sizes as the chest.
