What is the Extreme Smock?
This legendary jacket is renowned for its incredible durability, longevity, comfort and warmth. It's ideal for less arduous activities in super cold conditions when reliability and comfort are more important than pack size and weight.
What is it made of?
Insulation: A thick layer of DryActiv 3000 deep pile provides the incredible warmth inside the Extreme Smock. Unlike some forms of insulation, deep pile is virtually unaffected by moisture, maintaining its warmth even while soaking wet. If you're after for a no-fuss, ultra reliable form of insulation which requires little to no care, look no further.
Outer fabric: Just as crucial as the durable insulation is the outer fabric. A tough yet lightweight Pertex Quantum outer fabric provides total windproofing and a high degree of water resistancy, protecting you from the elements when the conditions turn for the worse. Despite its tough credentials, this fabric is lightweight, soft to the touch and super easy to take care of. Polardri rip-stop reinforcements are added to the elbows to increase durability even further if you're particularly hard on your kit.
What are the features?
Starting at the top, you've got a fully adjustable hood which can be removed completely if you so choose, a 1/2 length front zip, articulated arms to increase comfort when carrying out more technical activities, two zipped side vents for ventilation, two hand warmer pockets which sit nice and high to avoid getting trapped by a harness or rucksack hipbelt, one large kangaroo pocket and an adjustable hem and cuffs.
How does it fit?
The Extreme Smock features a relaxed, comfortable fit which will suit just about anyone. It's designed to be able to be worn over additional layers in super cold conditions, however it works just as well with just a t-shirt underneath. Montane's articulation increases the comfort even further.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
This piece is designed to be worn primarilyas an outer layer, no matter what the weather is doing. You can pop a shell over the top in horrendous conditions, but thanks to the pile lining and water resistant outer fabric, you'll most likely never want to.
