Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Struther Smock Field Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and countryside workers who require a reliable, lightweight outer layer. Its primary benefit lies in its robust, waterproof, and breathable construction that keeps you comfortable during active days in unpredictable weather. While the smock-style design provides excellent protection, users should be aware that the pull-over, quarter-zip construction requires a slightly different technique for putting on and taking off compared to traditional full-zip jackets.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the waterproof membrane and tight-weave polyester construction provide an effective barrier against wind.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners to protect the membrane.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing; we recommend selecting your normal size, though you may want to size up if you intend to wear thick, heavy layers underneath.
What is a drop liner membrane?
A drop liner is a separate waterproof layer suspended inside the jacket that ensures water protection while allowing the outer shell to be more flexible.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a fixed component of the jacket designed to provide maximum weather protection.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The hand warmer pockets feature waterproof zips to keep contents dry, though we always recommend using a dry bag for sensitive electronics in extreme downpours.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the surface fabric
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Use a specialized technical garment spray to restore water beading on the exterior.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
This is often caused by trapped perspiration. Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean any debris or grit from the zip track using a soft brush and apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, pull the garment on carefully using the quarter-zip to assist with fit. Adjust the cuffs using the hook and loop tabs to prevent water from running up your sleeves during heavy downpours. Regarding care, always refer to the garment's internal label. Generally, to maintain the waterproof membrane: avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners which can clog the breathable pores. If the exterior DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating begins to fail, consider re-applying a technical wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for synthetic shells. Air dry the jacket naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the waterproof membrane.
