or high-tech elements. Below, there are two pockets with pouch-like construction. They are very capacious. You close them with a flap, using two slotted buttons on a belt. Similarly to the pockets on the chest, there are drainage holes at the bottom (two in each pocket). However, there is still something peculiar in those pockets – the upper edge has a sewn in elastic rubber . As a result, we may get to the content of the pocket without unbuttoning the buttons (I use this very often myself, it helps spare some time). One may call it a minor feature, but it really makes using the pockets easier. On the back (or the butt, I'd say), there is the already mentioned „poacher" pocket. Zippers are hidden under slats of material and have grips identical as those inside the pockets on the chest. There is, however, a small difference in comparison to the „pooper pockets" used in smock by other manufacturers. Zippers are placed at an angle and lead towards the back. Such method of sewing them in makes is easier for unfastening them. On the inside, of course, there is a mesh to avoid excessive layers of material and do not disturb circulation of air. The hem of the jacket has a shock cord with stoppers. What is interesting, the excess of the shock cord from the waist and from the very bottom of the jacket is „worn" in the lower pockets thanks to proper holes. As a result, nothing annoys us or hangs loosely. Oh, I've almost forgotten: the bottom hem has a gap in the tunnel so a part of the shock cord remains exposed. I will explain the reason for this. You may fasten the jacket in three ways. The first one is a two-way main zipper that leads from the crotch up to the upper edge of the breastbone. The second method means are Canadian-style slotted buttons. They start from the very bottom hem of the jacket and end in the place of the zipper. The most interesting part is that the buttons are under the zipper, so they do not block it when we want to use it. The last element of jacket fasteners is the slat with sections of Velcro that lead from the lower hem to the upper part of the jacket. It seems that the producer wanted to be certain that after a failure of one element, the user will still be able to effortlessly use the jacket. Additionally, on the securing slat, just at the middle of the chest, there is a flap that allows attaching a sheath. On the left side of the main zipper, at the lower hem, we may notice a small element – a piece of flat rubber with a loop fastened at the end with a snap. That's the crotch strap. That solution was already used in Denison Smock. Thanks to the www.fragoutmag.com
