Fits great, build quality is mega, keeps you bone dry and folds down into a daysack better than a keela

Been able to test this out while tretching the New Year’s Eve strom was outside for hours and even decided to put on my normal waterproof jacket to test the difference, within 20 minutes I could tell that this smock was far superior, then anything else on the market from northface to Corinthia I would recommend this to not only the guys and gals I serve with but anyone looking to buy a strong gortex jacket

When folk say that the images don’t do it justice, they mean it, the smock is built to last, wouldn’t be surprised if the outer layer is tab proof at this point. It is also indeed waterproof, if the gaffer getting pressure washed like a combi van wasn’t enough to make you believe, then you’re just stupid. In all absolutely gleaming bit of kit and it cuts down on your layers essentially putting wet kit and a surprisingly good bit of warm kit in 1.

My only gripes with the smock is:
1. the loop fields on each arm could personally do with being slightly bigger to fit reg ship trfs and formation patches on and still fit the flag.
2. the hood is a bit of an arse when wearing under body armour and having a daysack on at the same time.

other than these tiny nit picky things that i struggled to come up with it’s the best thing out there.

maybe next is making on for the paras so they don’t feel left out being nice and dry with a smock on. as ally as this is, to them it’s not a para smock so i doubt they’ll put that down for this.

At 5ft 3 and a size 6-8, I never expect to find kit that fits me perfectly. I run a number of field based exercises and ranges, so I’ve been on the hunt for a waterproof and wind proof smock for a while now.

The smallest Carinthia smock and XXS Keela sizing were both still much too wide and also too long on the sleeve and torso length, so having run out of the usual commercial options, I had given up looking and carried on with issued kit.

I’d seen the JL-EQ Brecon advertised on IG and was really impressed with the waterproof testing video. The fact it’s made in the UK is a bonus. I took the risk and ordered one, and I haven’t been disappointed. It’s more fitted through the torso than the Keela and Carinthia options I’ve tried, so although it’s still a little roomy for me and more true to size for a male fit Small, it’s the first smock I’ve worn which I can comfortably work in and not look like I’ll grow into it!

The material is thicker than most commercial brands, so the chances of damage such as tears is lower, and it’s really well stitched throughout.

Overall my first impression is that it is more durable than other brands, so I’m expecting it to be the first and last smock I purchase, and I’m looking forward to trying it out on exercise.

The best smock I have had. The images don't quite do it justice the quality is amazing. I think this smock is a true game changer.

Great job

Having the first Churchill I am super impressed. I use mine on peg loading in Wales and it keeps the wind and rain out, even the harshest Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 can launch at it. It doesn’t let water on the shoulders where heavy loaders bags straps sit all day which is where many fail. Even when on a quad in rain the wet can’t push in.
I would also highly recommend it to someone picking up as the material is robust and will shrug off the scratches and cuts from spurs, beaks and rough game sling modifications.

Excellent product and I am enjoying being the smug one who’s dry on a wet day when others more expensive jackets have failed.

The Lockwood Brecon Smock is, without a doubt, one of the best bits of kit I’ve come across. It’s built to last, combining incredible durability, practicality, and style all in one.

Whether you’re braving the worst weather or tackling tough terrain, this smock has got you covered—literally. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into every detail. If you’re someone who expects your gear to perform as hard as you do, this is worth every penny.

This isn’t just a jacket—it’s an essential bit of kit for anyone who’s serious about the outdoors or needs something they can rely on, no matter the conditions. Whether you’re in the military, love outdoor challenges, or just need dependable gear, the Lockwood Brecon Smock ticks all the boxes.

I’m already looking forward to receiving The Arnhem Smock because, if it’s anything like this, it’s going to be another game-changer. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. You won’t regret it.

The moment I pulled out the bag and had seen the marital it's made of I knew straight away that it's going to last me a long time! Tried it on and it's comfy, warm and fits perfectly for a large (6'2 male 95kgs) I'm looking forward to putting it to the test in the new year, I'm pretty certain that this is the type of kit that will last when you're crawling around not having a good time. Top brand. Good customer service. 10/10 recommend.

Having tried this on upon delivery, it's pretty clear I'm never getting soaked on exercise ever again. It just feels incredibly robust and water just beads off it instantly. Definitely windproof too and it has lots of tassles for adjusting in certain areas. Keela should be worried.

Received my Brecon waterproof smock and to say a great product is an understatement, to feel the difference between the Brecon and an issue waterproof jacket is nuts. Also fantastic to see the UK still can produce quality products like this. Keep up the good work

Incredible smock. So comfy and well fitting made of quality material, definitely gonna struggle to damage this and a nice big hood to hide away from the great British weather. Not tried in the field yet, but first impressions are that this was a solid buy and should last me the rest of my career and beyond!

Been using KEELA and Corinthia for years but they never hold up to the extreme wet days. Finally got this and it’s safe to say I will stay dry. The smock we have all been waiting for. Warm, Dry and excellent quality!
Highly recommend buying this one over other brands, Will last you your whole career.

Top quality highly recommended
