Fisherman’s Waxed Smock, Model 3011: The Waterproof Armor for Professionals
Working in heavy rain or constant sea spray makes every move difficult. Moisture seeps in, cold numbs your muscles, and discomfort reduces your alertness on the job. Poor-quality protection eventually fails, leaving you exposed to the elements at the worst moment of your day. This smock eliminates those risks by providing absolute waterproofing and unbeatable durability for unmatched work comfort.
Why choose this model?
✔️ Thermal and modular insulation: the pleated collar and ergonomic hood allow you to regulate ventilation while blocking water infiltration.
✔️ Secure and waterproof storage: the front pocket with waterproof closure protects your tools and personal items from the worst downpours.
✔️ Anti-intrusion barrier: elastic cuffs block the wind and prevent water from running inside your sleeves.
✔️ Enhanced visibility at sea: retro-reflective strips ensure your safety even during night maneuvers or foggy conditions.
Technical details
This professional smock owes its effectiveness to the SealSkin® technical fabric. With a thickness of 0.47 mm and a weight of 500 g, the double-sided PVC coating on polyester backing ensures exceptional durability.

Taking care of your equipment means preserving your protection.
Our clothing is designed with cutting-edge materials to face the most extreme conditions. Whether it is a PVC armor or a breathable membrane, each textile has its own requirements.
This guide concerns our PVC & Coating materials. These materials are non-porous and extremely robust. The maintenance challenge is simple: preserve the flexibility of the coating to ensure waterproofing over time.
🚿 Washing: Gentleness above all
- The ideal method: Prefer cleaning with a soft sponge and lukewarm soapy water after each use.
- In the machine: Only if necessary, on a delicate 30°C cycle, without spinning and with a mild soap.
- To avoid: Never use fabric softeners, solvents, or bleaching agents (chlorine/bleach). These chemicals "cook" the PVC, making it brittle.
💨 Drying
- The ideal method: Let dry in the open air, hung on a hanger, in the shade.
- Dangers: Tumble drying and ironing are strictly forbidden.
- Warning: Never place your equipment on a radiator or near a direct heat source. Excessive heat can cause the coating to peel or harden.
🧱 Storage
- The ideal method: Store your garment hanging on a wide hanger or laid flat.
- To avoid: Never store it tightly folded or compressed for a long period, as this marks fold lines (especially on Rubber 1000g).
- Attention point: Make sure the garment is completely dry before storing to prevent mold growth.
🩹 Repair
- In case of accidental cut, do not throw away your equipment. Use a flexible PVC repair kit or a specific polyurethane glue.
- Pro tip: Apply the repair patch on the inside to maintain waterproofing without compromising the exterior appearance.
