    No rips, no tears a well sorted smock. Kept in a boring pet and smoke free home

    Depends, man at Q&M gave me an MTP one like the Tantalus but with arm pockets etc so for me, no.

    If it would fit you and you want a DPM tantalus smock and have £60 to spare, go for it. As I don't know your disposable income and whether you want/need a smock I don't know.

    We've not been issued mtp yet.......so looks like a good idea. Oh, and I guess that Gabradine is the same as the thin soft-to the touch material the old sas smocks were made of???
