MTP PCS Smock

VERY happy with this little beauty:

in the bag


close-up of label, nice familiar name of Cooneen Watts and Stone




close-up of the new style of pockets


behind the two lower map pockets there are fleeced compartments for the hands


close-up detail of the pocket lids


interior of pocket lids, only the top two have the little pen pockety tag things (very technical name i know)


Compass pocket on upper left map pocket


two small document pockets adorn each arm, just from looking at them briefly they appear to be the same as the pockets on the UBACS


the panels can be removed to reveal a nice large patch of velcro


with the arm pocket open it reveals more of the pen pockety tag things and also the lower edge of the pocket is sewn flat to the arm, whereas the upper edge has the ability to expand


inside the concealed chest pockets you get yet more pen pockets! and also the breathable mesh interior is visable


smock opened up, here you can see the lower fleece pockets and upper mesh body


and finally the under arm ventilation zippers


if anyone wants to see other close ups or other details ive missed just ask, i'll be more than happy!

A very nice piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing

Best regards

Very Nice, good to see our equipment quality has gone up a level, that smock looks better than a Helikon/Tantalus one.

Its in a sense the Tantalus smock but with MORE bells and whistles, very nice bit of kit if i say so myself.

Nice,I also have this smock, ubac and trousers in the PCS's range

I would love to have one of these... they keep slipping away when I find them on eBay.

Nice one, thanks for sharing!

Same here Ben! thats why I jumped straight in with an offer, I wasnt loosing this one!

The place I work at has about twenty of the things

I had no problem getting my lot, still get more if wanted.

Tommo has your place of work got a website by any chance?

Not sure mate, I can pop in after Christmas and arrange something though?

no worries mate im not after anything at the moment, would just like to do a bit of window shopping

Ha
I have first edition/version of this smock.

Look fr this pic:

just found these drain holes on the base of the pockets, not seen them on any other smock before so I thought id share it:

When in work yesterday I checked the shelf with the MTP Smocks on, sorry they are the earlier S95 Style Smock not the PCS one...however we do stock the underarmour and PCS Shirts.

How much are the 95-style MTP smocks going for now, with the PCS types becoming more common?

Tommo the same question what would a S95 type MTP smock size 190 / 120 be including shipping in the UK

I won't be in now till after Christmas, since I only work Saturdays and sometimes Thursday...but I'll pop in next week, probably around Thursday, beware though I doubt they'll be cheap.

Ta Mate

Those "pen pockety" loops in the sleeve pockets and in the chest pockets are called "Beckets".They are not meant to hold pens but for "idiot cords" IE Tie downs of paracord/string attached to the likes of pocket knifes,compasses, torches etc.Bascically anything you dont want to loose if the pocket was to come open accidentally.

Ah marvellous, thanks for the info

Popped in today, the MTP Smocks are £70, bit expensive if you ask me

Ta Tommo a bit rich for me at the moment

Will be having a look in another shop that sells MTP smocks tomorrow, will check prices

Had a look, there are 2 PCS Smocks and 2 MTP Smocks; Both £50 each.
