Tradition Meets Functionality
The military smock jacket returns—now improved and refined. Helikon-Tex have preserved its classic elements while enhancing them to ensure vintage style pairs seamlessly with modern functionality. The SAS Smock is a fully zipped jacket that bridges the gap between two anoraks in the Helikon-Tex lineup: the heavier, more advanced Pilgrim Anorak, and the lighter Woodsman Anorak. Made entirely from durable Duracanvas® fabric, it's suitable for waxing to increase resistance to light rain and snow.
Lightweight and Versatile
Thanks to its simple yet adjustable design, the SAS Smock Jacket is highly versatile. The lightweight hood can be adjusted in two directions, allowing for a precise fit—whether you're wearing a hat or braving harsh weather. Two drawcords—one at the waist and one at the hem—let you fine-tune the fit and control airflow as needed. Additional ventilation under the armpits ensures breathability, making this jacket suitable for year-round wear—from summer hikes to winter bushcraft adventures.
Smart Storage and Practical Design
Despite its military roots, the SAS Smock excels as a bushcraft jacket thanks to its thoughtful design and ample storage. It features eight functional pockets. On the outside are four classic square pockets secured with durable Canadian buttons—a nod to iconic British military uniforms. These buttons are sewn on reinforced tape for easy access and reduced risk of loss.
Below the upper pockets are two zippered compartments, ideal for flat items. Beneath the lower pockets are additional hand-warmer pockets with the same zippered design. Inside the chest pockets, you’ll find loops for securing gear, preventing accidental loss. Paracord loops on each side of the jacket offer a handy place to clip gloves or other small items.
From the Battlefield to the Bush
The SAS Smock Jacket draws inspiration from the gear worn by elite military units like the Special Air Service (SAS). Since World War II, smock jackets have been valued for their roomy fit, practical design, and lightweight yet weather-resistant materials. Decades later, their legacy continues. The SAS Smock remains a trusted choice for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide—offering proven performance from battlefield to bushcraft.
