Cruachan DV Extreme Smock

I haven’t had this anorak out in the rain yet, but I have had it out on several cool foggy mornings. So far I have found it warm and comfortable to wear. It is beautifully made, and Heather, who sewed it, did an excellent job. I look forward to wearing this coat as winter comes on, and I plan to wear it snowshoeing for its breathability. As for water resistance, I own another double ventile garment and it performs well even in a heavy rain. So I am confident in the Hilltrek garment.

Exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is outstanding, well worth waiting for. I would definitely recommend. I am going to buy a pair of matching trousers.

A really superb quality smock made by Heather. It has all the features that you could possibly want in a smock . From side zips for easy access, pockets galore and reinforced in all the right places (across the shoulders and forearms). This has been design for the harshest of environments and I’m really looking forward to giving the Cruachan a proper test this Winter in the Peak District and down on Dartmoor.
Hopefully up in the Cairngorms in the New year.
Thanks Hilltrek and especially Heather.

The jacket is a perfect fit for me in small, I'm usually a medium but this is a roomy smock to allow for layering. The quality and stitch work is first class. I am using this with one of the hilltrek fleece smocks underneath, a great match. The hood is a superb design, so much better than any "off the peg" jackets I have tried. I get the impression it will last for years.

Thank you Heather,
Your sewing is magic:)

Quite simply the best outdoor coat I have ever owned. The The quality in my opinion is in a league of it's own and has been subject of many discussions on foul weather apparel. It's a rare thing these days to find a product that actually achieves what it's advertised as capable of, well done team Hilltrek

Great product - really well made. And a great company to deal with.

There are jackets that keep the wind and rain out, that do what they say on the tin. Then there are those that you think about when you're walking, that you just know when you feel the texture warmth and the weight in your hand, pull the material over your skin, and the sense of enclosure is so comforting and satisfying you realise what you have is more than a jacket. It's an extension of yourself, a natural cocoon that moves freely with you.
Dress it up how you like, the physics of breathability, the chemistry of cotton comfort, the ergonomics of everything being correctly sized and designed, or even the aesthetics of Scottish colouring and detail, my Hilltrek smock is this and so much more. It's the comfortable outdoor companion whose dependability in all weathers makes me smile, quietly.

Wow love it. Quality excellent, waterproof totally, good length, great hood. Thanks Hilltrek for producing such a brilliant piece of kit.
