Product information & specifications
Harkie Defiance Smock Hi-Vis Orange
The Harkie Defiance Smock is a premium waterproof arborist smock engineered for professional tree surgeons who need maximum protection, durability and comfort in adverse UK weather. Built from Harkie's Class 4 waterproof / Class 4 breathable RainBlok fabric, it offers exceptional weather resistance while staying lightweight and hardwearing.
Available in sizes S to XXL, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Harkie dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Building on the proven Innovation II waterproof smock, the Defiance adds user-driven upgrades: a redesigned hood that folds neatly behind the collar, heat-applied chevron reflective tape, underarm ventilation zips and a slimmer fit for reduced bulk. A removable internal sawdust skirt, breathable lining and adjustable cuffs further improve comfort during climbing, rigging or groundwork. The ergonomic cut, extended back and reinforced elbows keep it durable for full-time professional use.
Key Features & Benefits
- RainBlok fabric — Class 4 waterproof, Class 4 breathable
- Redesigned hood folds neatly behind the collar
- Heat-applied chevron reflective tape for increased visibility
- Underarm ventilation zips for airflow during intense work
- Removable internal sawdust skirt
- Reinforced elbow patches for added durability
- Extended back and adjustable cuffs
- Breast pocket with waterproof zip; left chest blank for branding
Technical Details
Why Choose the Harkie Defiance Smock?
Harkie is a UK arborist workwear specialist, and the Defiance is a genuine step up from the Innovation II smock it's built on — the redesigned hood, underarm ventilation and slimmer fit address real feedback from climbers, while keeping the half-zip smock format many professional arborists prefer over a full-zip jacket.
Waterproof Arborist Jacket Comparison
Choosing the right waterproof arborist jacket depends on your working environment, required visibility and whether you prefer a full-zip jacket or traditional smock design.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harkie Defiance Jacket – Grey | Professional arborists wanting a slimmer modern waterproof jacket | Standard visibility with reflective detailing | Full zip jacket | EN ISO 343 Class 4:4 | Best all-round waterproof arborist jacket |
| Harkie Defiance Jacket – Orange | Arborists needing waterproof protection with hi-vis compliance | Hi-vis orange for railway and highway use | Full zip jacket | RainBlok waterproof fabric — Class 4 breathable | Hi-vis full zip waterproof jacket |
