Used one of thoses for yrs in my field jacket when in the army. Just added a few buttons to the jacket and away. Allways in my webbing, so much smaller than an issue waterproof. In fact bought another only a few wks ago at a local auction, along with the dutch issue cotton outer, a leather bike jacket & a normal fleece all for £8 !!! Bargains are out there.
Just love these army surplus vids Neil...Thanks
Just checked, they are available in the US with sizes up to 2XXL for $19.99 or $17.99 if one has a membership with the seller. As an aside, and perhaps of interest to some viewers, I've been using an olive drab colored Frogg Toggs hooded rain jacket for years. While they don't stand up well to bushwhacking, they do work very well as an under layer for whatever one's personal choice of outerwear might be. I believe they are selling in the $20-$30 range for standard solid colors (some of the camo patterns are upwards of $70 for the rain suit) here in the states at some of the big box stores. I recently purchased their rain suit in a light blue color for about$27. It came in a flat package that easily fits in my pack and not only do I have a rain jacket, but I have waterproof trousers too. While the stock of military surplus jackets might not be around for long, the Frogg Toggs brand doesn't seem to ever run low so if one is in the market for breathable, lightweight waterproofing, they might be a good option to consider. As always Neil, great stuff and thanks for sharing!
I have some experience with the Frog Togs and the breathable is great option!
There's also the British mtp lightweight gtx jacket (without hood). Probably more available and no alterations needed.
The problem with a poncho is your arms can get pretty wet if you need to work so a liner like this would be a perfect combo 👍
Get in fast? Paused the video and bought one.
Just the job to beef up my ventile single layer.
Thanks for the recommendation. :)
There is waterproof wax you can rub on cloth to make it water resistant.
I have some British Army stuff, which was available in more sizes.
I would wear the shell over the smock, so it doesn't get wet.
I have the Dutch camo jacket that includes that liner and the fleece liner. I only paid £30 for the complete package. Also included a button on hood, that includes a gortex liner. Absolute bargain !!
I like most all the Dutch military stuff, always top quality.
I may be a bit daft, but why not wear it over the smock so that it doesn't get waterlogged and the items in your pockets don't get soaked?
Thorns and snagging in woodland environment not good for goretex, the outer he has is tougher
Great video just discovered your Chanel very quickly subscribed look forward to many more tips on cheap items keep up the good work
Nice vid Niel!!..i used it also that way in the Dutch army infantry..only used the original smock in basic training after that British windproof with the liner always in my ops vest...together with a poncho and Berghaus rain jacket...always a dry option in wet weather..btw ..SASS in Lancaster sold them with the same purpose in the 90'
We were using similar down in the south Atlantic in the early 80's. Basically its a waterproof drop liner worn under our battle smocks. I now use a Country Innovation Woodlark smock, good bit of kit.
Perfect!!!! just what I needed and a total bargain, just ordered one, the longer length really suits me as I am well over 6ft with short legs!!!
I love my Canadian military anorak! It is cotton and provides great protection, but I spray it once a year with Scotchguard and that makes it waterproof as well.
Thanks for sharing✌
Thank You Neil. Your timing was brilliant with this video. I just bought a smock, and already made some thoughts how to waterproof it. I did not know these liners. Hopefully I choose the right size. Best regards: Tamas
The kit these days is light years away from the stuff we were issued back in the day. Hairy KF shirt, wooly pully jumper and smock. You were either sweating your nuts off or freezing. My son inherited my "Chinese fighting suit" and it causes massive outbreaks of nostalgia when the old sweats see it. He won't part with it as it still works. I'm still using a 1970's "Moon Bag", remember those? Great vid. Thank you.
Cheers Neil, great idea and info
Another good one Neil. I’ve carried one of these in my pack for years. Just the job👍🏻
Thanks Neil, I do like these bargain Vids. This was excellently the kind of thing i was looking for, unfortunately a bit slow on the uptake on this one and cannot find in my size. keep up the good work.
Haven’t got my size, yes they are cheap under £20.
I have the British army windproof smocks.
I dyed the desert ones black and brown with Dylon dye.
I have also waxed proofed them so they are waterproof.
I used candle wax rubbed it all over the jackets and then melted it in with a hairdryer.
No waterproof and windproof.
Tough jackets, plenty of pockets. Easy to roll up and pack away.
I do buy the Dutch kit as it’s well made and good quality for the money. 👍🏻🎒
Keep the Army surplus videos coming.
Love it. 😊👍🏻🪖
Good idea getting a desert pattern one and dyeing it John. Lots of'em about. Cheers.
Great vid and amongst a carpet of Stunning Wood anemone mate ☺️👏👏
Thanks for sharing. I'll be looking into that
A great tip Neil thankyou
Recently came across your channel. Really like your content. 👍🏻
I'd recommend getting the full combo; smock, rain liner and winter fluffy liner. Don't know what they cost nowadays but I got mine for € 60 a few years ago and it kept me dry and warm for all that time. Through shitty weather 😬 Good surplus stores will give you Nato sizes, so you don't end up with something ill fitting. There's some Dutch army surplus stores who ship abroad and have good quality items (mine was un-issued) but be aware of import duties. Plus they come with a ton of pockets, which don't interfere with your bergen straps.
I use a black rubber ducky raincoat, stops all the water and I also found a bag to keep it in so it folds down and attaches to my backpack. Canadian Cottage life approved. Made by Helly Hanson I think.
I bought a British Surplus MTP Gortex jacket that is very light and works great. I did pay a little more for it though since i'm in the US and the shipping from the UK was expensive, but i'm happy with it. This seems like a great bargain though.
Nice video mate
Keela clothing is brilliant. I use a belay pertex down jacket in the winter and it keeps me toasty warm. I can wear it with just a t shirt in the spring and autumn. If it gets wet it drys out quick. For more inclement wet weather Keela do a waterproof fleece called the Neptune fleecd. It has a waterproof lining. I've had mine for years and wear it nearly every day. In winter when it's really cold and horrible I wear it over the belay jacket. It keeps me warm and dry.
I thought it looked familiar. I have a Dutch army field jacket with that very liner. Good kit indeed. I might see if I can get my good lady to do the zipper modification for me.
Morning mate 👍🦉🇬🇧. Nice one
Great idea. Arktis do one at a reasonable price (not quite as cheap as this one) if you can’t find one of these. I was planning to get one for under a windproof smock instead of a w/proof smock, I figured it would be more flexible.
seperate waterproof drop liners are really really useful.
I have the giretex in woodland light camo. I don't have a smock as I've not got round to it yet and was not going to pay over the odds. I do use a fleece and cape as well. I would waterproof it anyway with nikwax.
hey, got also two of these from dutch army surplus. paid around 5 euro each. one is a bit to small for me, ithink i sacrify the small one to make a hood out of it for the one wich fits me.
you are right, they pack really small and weigh almost nothing compared to a three layer goretex jacket
Thanks Neil 👍
My windproof British Army smocks now waterproof using wax. 👍🏻
Thanks Neil, hope you enjoyed the Bushcraft show !
Thanks for this - we appreciate it! If you're going out and about, FU-Kit!
Just spent 150 euro in that surplus shop on more stuff i don't need and bags to hold it all in ! Got the jacket for 17 Stg though 😂
Good video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Good morning, once again a short and extremely informative video as usual. Thank you 🏆 Greetings from Norway
aka stealth suits, great kit. Available from CPGear in Canada but not for 17 pounds, still worth it.
Very $$$$$
Hi from the US. I was home in Ireland recently and was looking into pick up a British Army Basha. But I thought it a bit expensive at €100! Have not found any this side of pond, but how much would they retail for in the UK?
I subscribe to you because you seem to be pretty wise dude like your channel love what you put together it’s fantastic I do have to say though by putting your lid sniffing it isn’t that a chemical or an alcohol stove, now it’s on your lid
Cool
Think id rather wear it over my smock .? 😊when it rains then put it away when rain stops.
jack pyke smock kept out the worst wales had t offer in nov rain n all
How's it going Neal
👌
👍😊
If the smock is not wet proof why would you not wear the water proof jacket on the outside of the smock instead of the inside . Sounds backwards to me.
Yes, it is a bit. The very lightweight goretex is protected from damage by the outer smock. The kit in your pockets is not covered up, so it makes access easier and it's super lightweight and very quiet in use. I often carry a poncho as my shelter and waterproof layer. This comes in very handy if the poncho is needed for shelter and it's hammering down. A military mate first told me about the concept years ago and it did seem odd. But having used it a lot over the years it does work.
I have a question. If the jacket is Goretex, presumably it is water proof and wind proof. Why, then, would you put a waterproof jacket under a non-water proof jacket? What is the thinking behind it?
Old army habit, smocks dry quickly and your kit is still accessible plus the waterproof one won't get saturated as quickly so you are dry, not damp.
Also keeps the noise of the wp muffled so the 'Enemy' or farmer doesnt hear a walking crisp packet approaching.
:-p
I do it so as not to burn a hole in my bloody expenside rain jacket when sitting by the fire.
@@getsmart3701 I've never wanted a laugh react on YT more haha, protect the investment, good man! 👍
It's all about layers...
Is this recorded on a GoPro ?
Because you're out of focus for more than half the video ☹️
Well done Neil Dude 😃!
sold out:(
Sold out in big sizes 😞
Heh, out of stock of "portly" sizes :-(
Look on Dutch sites usually the name used is waterdichte sluipschutter voering (waterproof sniper liner).
