Product information & specifications
Harkie Defiance Smock Hi-Vis Orange
The Harkie Defiance Smock Hi-Vis Orange is a premium waterproof arborist smock engineered for professional tree surgeons who require maximum protection, durability and comfort in adverse UK weather. Built from Harkie’s Class 4 waterproof / Class 4 breathable RainBlok fabric, this smock offers exceptional weather resistance while remaining lightweight and hardwearing. The ergonomic cut, extended back, reinforced elbows and industry-leading durability ensure the Defiance remains a reliable choice for full-time arborists working in challenging conditions.
Building on the proven Innovation II waterproof smock, the Defiance includes user-driven upgrades such as a redesigned hood that folds neatly behind the collar, heat-applied chevron reflective tape, underarm ventilation zips and an improved slimmer fit for reduced bulk. A removable internal sawdust skirt, breathable lining and adjustable cuffs further enhance comfort during climbing, rigging or groundwork.
Certified to RIS-3279-TOM, EN ISO 20471:2013 and EN 343:2019 Class 4:4, the Harkie Defiance is suitable for motorway, roadside and rail environments where high visibility and robust weatherproof performance are essential.
