This might seem an odd question but can someone tell me if the Montane Extreme Smock has been updated in the last 7 years or so? Or has it remained unchanged?

 Reason for asking is that I have been offered a second hand red one (quite fancy red) for £40 quid without a hood. So once hood is bought will come to £60...dont want to waste my money if there have been updates to it over last few years as can get new one for £75ish.

 Any help appreciated!

I've had mine for 2 years so not sure what the old one was like if any different, i'd be happy to have a look at mine and answer any questions if you like.

Cheers...The one Ive been offered looks the same but just dont know if they have been fine tuned over the last few years...I like to save a few quid but wouldnt pay £60 for it if they have been updated as new ones are not much more in many places.

GO did a price match plus 10% for me, total cost was £69 if memory serves me right.

The material is slightly different - a tiny bit 'crisper' in feel now, but makes no difference to performance. I prefer the feel of the older one.

The big difference that I have noticed is that with the current one, the cuff is elasticated.
On my "old" one, it is not elasticated and gives some ventilation to your lower arm. It can be closed tightly by the velcro tab when needed.
I prefer the normal cuff, as per my "old" one.
