This is a fully featured Double Ventile® smock designed for extreme weather. The backs of the arms, elbows and shoulder areas are reinforced for increased wear resistance when carrying heavy rucksacks or skis.

This smock's waist, hood and hem are easily adjusted by drawcord, to protect from the ravages of weather, and side vent zippers provide for extra ventilation and make for easy removal of the garment. The Cruachan features multiple pockets for storage of maps and all sorts of bits and pieces. The Cruachan is made from either L24 Double Ventile or heavier weight L19 as a custom option. The L19 version is only available in Olive. 

The Cruachan Smock is named after the iconic Ben Cruachan (Gaelic: Cruach na Beinne) - a 1126m mountain that is the highest point in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Cruachan! is the Battle cry for the Highland clans Campbell and MacIntyre. Find out more in our Glossary.

"I can tell you that the Cruachan smock is warm...and very well thought out." Read one Hilltrek customer's review of the Cruachan Smock in our Blog.

This is the ideal smock for a range of cold weather activities including winter mountaineering (not least the Cruachan Horseshoe). Consider the Liathach Extreme Smock for a similar garment in our Cotton Analogy® material.

    Excellent Kit

    Posted by Richar on 21st Sep 2023

    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.

    Brilliant Jacket.

    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.

    Cruachan DV extreme smock

    Posted by Tudor on 14th Sep 2023

    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.

    5 star stuff

    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.

    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

    Cruachan DV Smock

    Posted by Donald Canavan on 6th Dec 2019

    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.
