Most better mid-range fabrics are at least 10-15k and your very high end kit will be 20k plus. I wouldn't be touching it with a barge pole. Having said that the main contribution to feeling sweaty inside a garment is wearing too much underneath and especially wearing non-breathable kit underneath.

Hendrix's rifle Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I've got a smock from them, whilst too hot in warm weather it's good in the cold weather. Isn't very breathable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewluke Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 for your jacket to breathe you need to wear a suitable base/mid layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have the (old style) Pintail Smock... It's sold as waterproof, it isn't. It's shower proof (and you need to keep it clean for the fabric to work properly, I Nikwax'd it to solve that.). I've had it for 3-4 years now, and it's still pretty much like new. I wear it for work (shepherd), and when out shooting. I've been out lamping the last 3 weekends in all this frost and snow - heavy cotton Polo shirt, fleece pullover over and the Ridgeline smock Is all Iv had on my top half and Iv been toastie. It keeps the heat in, and breaks the wind, too. IMO Ridgeline have been smart, functional clothing which looks cheap compared to Swazi or Harkila... but it's still expensive for what it is (but they are all over priced).
