A good gilet?

[Sam Thompson]

Hi all,

 

Anyone got any recommendations for a good gilet for forestry/arb work? I use a Berghaus Walking one at the moment, and its not bad, but could be better. I burnt through it with a techno pruner exhaust earlier in the year And could do with a new one. I like Gilets for working in, especially in summer, but apart from climbers ones they doesn't seem to be anything suitable.

 

 

So I would like it to be

 

Tough.

A good fit (not too tight so as not to move).

Have as many pockets as physically possible, or a good few anyway.

Preferably be bright coloured so its better in the woods

 

 

Cheers

Safety clothing shops might have a selection, also some of the jakcets available have zip off sleeves.

Mr. currently is swopping between a makita body hugger and a hoggs wax gilet, the makita is really padded for really cold and the hoggs keeps the rain off your back.

the engelbert straus one is great it has a zip out lining for the summer far to many pockets and it even has slips in the side to put gloved hands in rather than the top entry pockets and its only £19

Looks like I'm going to get a couple of Fruit of the Loom ones from "clothes2order" With a bit of advertising on the back Also it can be bright orange. Happy Sambo
