I get the impression that the Smock has superseded the Jacket although the Jacket seems a pretty good heavyweight garment for cold days and has ripstop fabric.
i like my smock ,its called an "SAS smock" to reel in the walt airsofters i think.
it keeps you warm on a cold day, dry from the rain ect, its got a good hood, theres funny cuffs on it to stop drips running up your arm and heat escaping ect.
I much prefer the old 94 pattern jacket, it was actually made of a material that didn't fall apart (presumably before the days of farming out all of DCTA's manufacturing to some sh*tty Chinese sweatshop) and it didn't have a useless hood that bounced off the back of the lid in the prone and made it impossible to get a decent sight picture.
Jacket all the way. Nothing more bizarre than seeing everyone sweating their knackers off on a boiling summer day, wearing a windproof hooded smock whose forbears were made for going to war in winter Norway in!
It was a pity they stopped making the jacket in nice-and-light ripstop, to be honest. Although when you have ECBA on its all the same I guess.
Yeah Para smock is the way forward.
It keeps me really nice and warm and dry when I'm stood outside the NAAFI drinking my Mocha-choca latte waiting for my lift to work and looks really ally hanging on the back of office chair.
