Arbortec BreatheDry® Waterproof Smock – Hi-Vis Orange

The Arbortec BreatheDry® Waterproof Smock Hi-Vis is a technical shell jacket developed specifically for arborists and other professionals working outdoors in demanding weather conditions who also need high visibility. The jacket combines low weight, high durability and maximum weather protection with certified Class 3 visibility, which is the highest visibility class for workwear in Norway.

The waterproof and breathable BreatheDry® membrane is certified to EN 343 Class 3, providing excellent protection from rain and moisture while effectively wicking excess heat away from the body. The extended back directs water away from the trousers and provides extra protection when working in a climbing harness or above shoulder height.

The large, adjustable hood is designed to fit over a climbing helmet and can easily be stored in the collar when not in use. The hood features a shapeable brim, volume adjustment and a large storm flap for extra protection from wind and rain.

Thoughtfully designed ventilation solutions ensure high comfort even during physically demanding work. Underarm ventilation zips, mesh ventilation in the front pocket and long side zips provide effective airflow and easy access to the climbing harness and trouser pockets.
