+ The comfortable brushed fleece inner has impressive wicking qualities. High collar gives extra protection. Reasonably windproof, and we like the extra coverage the scooped tail provides to the kidney area.

– The cuffs (a single popper button) limit the effectiveness. The styling is like Marmite: you’ll either love it or hate it.

Verdict: A comfortable and functional smock. Páramo claim it’s a unisex garment but the cut won’t suit everyone, so make sure you try before you buy.
