Cant vouch for most of your kit, but I have the Stein boots and they are wearing well and very comfy.

I learnt the trade at barony many moons ago, good place...... Will you be climbing etc ?

[josharb87]

sip ultrafits are my favorite trousers so far, tough, light, durable

Don't worry about it you've bought it now, its all a learning experience, what you've got works and will do its job if your not happy with it try something else when it wears out.

Ditto. I love them... they are all soft and smelly like slippers.

 

As for gloves I have never yet worn chainsaw gloves outside my training. They are perticularly nasty to work in. I guess if you are doing a lot or core wood work they could be a good investment tho.

wen at college i have to wear the protective gloves unfortunatly.

 

i may go into climbing, ive not decided yet like. gonna b trying it towards the end of this course so then i need 2 do another 12 week course on arb or fmo

 

been watching the videos on here and the arb looks like fun but also seen some nasty cuts from kick backs n that kinda scares me ha ha

[christreeroot]
