I bought an Abu smock - best bit of clothing I have invested in so far.

Seriously windproof, waterproof and warm. Mine was so good the brother bought one too!!!!

If you can afford one, the Titanex Smocks are well respected by a lot of anglers...

I dont know about the Mustad smock, but the Abu is 100% waterproof at all of the seams and very good value for the price. more than can be said for the Titan smocks, every winter that goes by Titan lose more respect and customers, to quote one angler I know "my Titan smock is like a tea bag"

I've Had the Titan smock, did leak, albeit after a while. I've now got the Imax smock and really can't fault it. I have it now about 3 months so it is still fairly new but not a true comparison as I had the titan approx 2 years before it leaked. As far as I'm concerned the Imax feels a superior cut a design to the Titan?

Thanks guys. I looked at the imax and do think it is good but was just wanting something a bit cheaper for summer use as at this time of the year the flotation suit is out. Thanks
