How warm is the Defiance smock?
The Defiance range is designed to be as breathable as possible with the highest Class 4 rating, with the addition of underarm ventilation zips for added air movement, keeping you cool and dry while you work. Most of our customers wear a thin layer underneath their jacket (like a t-shirt), which helps maintain an even and comfortable temperature.
What does Class 4 waterproof and breathable mean?
Class 4 is the highest standard of water resistance and breathability that a garment can attain. This means that our smocks are as good as it gets in both areas, making them perfect for arb work.
Do you offer a version with a full-length zip?
Yes, we sell jacket versions as well.

Hi Harkie, I’ve recently purchased a water proof smock from one of your dealers, Three Counties Agri Spares. I’ve heard a lot of good things about them so I thought I would take a chance and what a piece of kit!! The last few weeks have been absolutely awful weather. The last coat I was using is not a patch on your smock for quality and waterproofing. Massively happy with my jacket keep up the quality .. amazing, kind regards Brad. P.S. I actually think this could be the first time I have written to a company about a product that is actually bang on. Once again thanks team.

Love my harkie smock jacket, well fitting and works well against the rain. This is by far most the best jacket I have owned and I have been in the arb industry 37 year. Keeps wind out well and very warm ! Thanks harkie for another great product.

This pullover is is great for in tree work and for leisure wear. The extended back stays inside your harness and the pockets are large enough to open and access with gloves on. It has held up well in bad weather and shows no signs of wear. It’s not bulky and does require a warm layer underneath when cooler. Wish it came in hivis yellow also.

Coats are brilliant. Really love them. I only wear a t shirt under and it keeps me warm and cool when working at the same time.

I came across the Harkie Defiance at the APF show and I have to say I thought they were fantastic. Not many smocks have the internal skirt and I absolutely love this feature. I have spent many many years skiing in my time and the difference this skirt makes is phenomenal, the moment you tighten this it seals in warmth and you remain warm and comfortable in cold, wet conditions! I will be using mine for both work and walking and can’t wait for it to arrive.
