Deerhunter explore Smock Update November 2022

After 12 months of wearing in all weather's I give my conclusion on the Deerhunter explore smock

[@daviddumpleton3559]

I’ve got one been out twice in it not sure about it but it’s growing on me it’s v thin to the touch I got it to stalk in I am a deerstalker of 30 years not to sure if it will last on day to day activity’s 😮

I ordered one of those last winter, I ordered the right size for me but sent it back due to the fact that I was struggling just to get my arms in, it just felt like too much faf, and I wasn't that keen on the material either, too soft and silky for my liking, I prefer something with a more robust feel to it, so I ended up with a grade 1 military surplus windproof MTP smock jacket, treated it with Fabsil gold to waterproof it and it's ideal for walks up in the hills, and if it's really cold I wear a down jacket underneath it as a mid layer

Thanks for the update.

Sorry it's taken so long, life sometimes gets in the way of things we want to do, but hopefully better late then never.

@@batbushcraft very true.

Ordered the gamekeeper jacket based on your review of the smock 🤞 it's as good in jacket form

[@markhyde1970]

Do you wear like a fleece or something underneath it?

Whats the Rubber circle on the chest for??

[@batbushcraft]

No rubber circle, I think it's the Deerhunter logo you can see.

[@neilmeager1151]

Its above the logo??

[@batbushcraft]

It Reads Deerhunter and above that it's a Deers head
