HOT CLIMATE
The B110 is a showerproof combat smock used by Special Forces & military units around the world. It hasn’t got a lining, but that doesn't mean it misses out on any of the critical features of an Arktis jacket. The smock is a fine performer for hot climates and with the right layers, cold climates too. The fabric is made from hardy 50/50 Ripstop, which is one of the toughest fabrics on the market. In the event your smock does get a tear or hole, the special cross-weave design prevents it from spreading. The Ripstop has a DWR finish so it’s shower-proof and the pockets are nylon-lined making them waterproof to the outside.
The B110 is fully adjustable, so no matter what layers you plan to wear, you can ensure a perfect fit. When worn in combination with our excellent Stowaway Shirt (A192) the Smock will be windproof and highly water repellent. Worn in combination with our Rainshield (A310) it will be fully waterproof/breathable. Any user seeking full flexibility from his jacket should consider going with this triple system.
Heavy duty nylon thread, powerful bartacks and a simple, robust design make the B110 a truly robust jacket. You won’t get better.

How To Measure
With arms relaxed at your sides, measure under your arms around the fullest part of your chest.
Our ripstop clothing is made from robust, hardy fabric that lasts for years. All dyes will tend to fade, but ours has an excellent colour fixative that will remain effective for years. The basic principle of care is to be sensible. Heavy reactive chemicals will strip the fabric, and overly gentle treatments will not be particularly effective. Be sensible. The thing to remember is that general wear and tear comes in many forms, not just abrasion. Strong light has a powerful effect (photodegradation), and there are even chemical compounds in rainwater, so generally everything you use can be expected to deteriorate. Arktis fabrics have been developed with these characteristics in mind. Making them durable and resistant to wear and tear. Most caring involves being thoughtful about what you do.
Washing: Ripstop & Nylon Minirip: For light marks and dirt, use a wet cloth to wipe down your garment. For more serious cleaning, you can place your Arktis garments in the washing machine with minimal issues. Wash at 30°C using a non-bio cleaner. Do not use softeners or bleach. Leave to dry in a warm ventilated room, do not tumble dry. Whilst our ripstop has resistance to dry cleaning, chemicals are used in the production of coatings such as DWR. These chemicals can react with dry cleaning chemicals, so we recommend that you do not use this method.
Reproofing: A time will come in the life of a water-repellent garment when water is starting to absorb into the fabric at a more frequent rate. A modest restoration of the outer’s water repellency will help diminish the absorption of water into the fabric. With some coated fabrics, pressing the garment with a cool or “1 Dot” iron will revive the coating to an effective level. The reason behind this is that heat can reactivate the finish, bringing it back to life. It’s always worth trying ironing as the first step. If required you can restore outer water repellency using Stormsure, NIKWAX or similar products. We prefer spray-on type products to allow for precision on key areas. When spraying make sure the garment is clean and free from any detergent, focus on areas such as shoulders and hoods.
