Here in France 'manchettes' are de rigueur even on the ground bizzarely.

I am often criticised for not sporting a pair and end up engaged in heated discussions on the merits of cut and hold.

I don't cut and hold unless with a Silky so won't be brow beaten into using them, it's an individuals choice.

 You can find them online at Freeworker or Hevea Elagage but ah, I forget, Arbtalk voted for Brexit so be prepared to pay vat, customs tarifs and handling should you place an order.

I have a pair of those arm protector thingys somewhere from my powerline clearance days.

they were great for thorny stuff briars etc and when holding and cutting with silky.

problem I had with them was top would slip down to just above elbow and restrict circulation when I’d bend arm.

there was a certain movement that would give a momentary dead arm,

not ideal at our sort of work.

I had a protective jacket at one stage but too warm.

I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a lightweight breathable top with protective sleeves . Might be useful?
