This is pretty much our go-to Ventile garment here at Rumdoodles - in the heart of blustery, drizzly, but awesomely beautiful North Wales.
A single layer of L24 Organic Ventile® keeps the wind & water out unless the most violent or long-lasting downpours provoke some dampness. But a single layer of Ventile still functions better than a tired old membrane garment which is destined for landfill. Ventile is a natural material that keeps working even after years of use.
This smock is light enough - has pockets enough - and feels as amazing as Ventile always feels. It will end up being your most regularily worn Ventile garment for mixed conditions. Grab it and go outside!
An over-the-head, classic styled smock with hood, designed for windproof and showerproof use.
The Braemar Single Organic Ventile® Smock with PFC-free water repellency provides good weather protection with a storm flap and adjustable hood and hem.
The Braemar Organic SV Plus Smock is a versatile garment which can be used for a wide range of activities including cycling, walking, climbing and bushcraft. The smock's versatile hood can be adjusted to fit over a cycling helmet, climbing helmet or bobble hat and the large front kangaroo pocket is ideal for storing an OS map or bits and pieces such as phone, keys, or melting chocolate bars (not recommended).
Note that these smocks carry the "Organic Ventile" branding on the Kangaroo pocket storm flap - which differs slightly from the product photos on this listing.

Sizing information:
Generally these garments are true to size - but are intentionally a roomy fit - if they were trim around the body, they'd be hard to get over your head!
Here at Rumdoodles we commission the sizes XSmall, and Small to be made with extra length on the sleeves than is standard on the Hilltrek sizing charts. Therefore the sizes XSmall and Small are suited to our local climbers (who occasionally have ape-index issues) and are also ideal for normal shaped folk who prefer not to freeze their hands and wrists.
For example size XSmall is popular with women who generally size as UK10-12. Our XSmall also has another 2" added to the body length of Hilltrek's standard XSmall so that it is suitable as mountain wear, protects the vital areas, and makes the garment truely unisex.
The size Small suits either a women's UK14, or is ideal for guys that would usually fit Small or Medium, but are slender around the torso, so do not need the extra chest size (and flap) you get from the Medium Braemar Smock. So if you are a guy that fits a 30-32" waist and are of an athletic build - then size small is perfect.
Confused? Just email or give us a call to sort out the best fit for you.
