husky rain jackets are damn good have a vent flap and do keep us dry

http://www.countrycovers.co.uk does some good stuff, resonably priced too (some of it). My boss has an amazing jacket I wear when he isn't with us, it was handmade, cost about £200. It's a waxed material. I can't remember where he got it but I'll find out.

 

Apparently the gaurantee on the country-covers stuff also stands if you damage the stuff.

 

really useful site especially the Falklands stuff, but there would be tears if you ripped it at those prices.

 

Cheers

Its good stuff! Will actually water proof your chainsaw trousers too, but it wears off under friction so not much point!

We had the same problem and have had for a while so about 18 months ago i went on a small mission to make one.

 

Tested them, tried different fabrics and different designs and sent them out to various people to destroy. Got the feed back and carried on testing until we were happy.

 

Figured that if they are good enough for us and the lads who wanted them i would put them in to production.

 

Best of all, the fabric is made in Lancashire and the tops are made in Lancashire so all kept local and not in small sweat shops and flown around the world. It also rains alot in Lancashire!

 

Dissadvantage of keeping it local is the price. Minimum wage and running costs mean we simply cannot compete with the big boys of the game who disregard the ethics for the mark up they need to put on. And beleive me, there is some mark up.

 

Just put a web site together, well, my Girlfriend did!

 

Have a look and let me know your feed back.

 

If you want to try then trees unlimited will have them on there stand at the APF but you can also contact me.

 

I'm not trying to get in a cheap sales bid but i do beleive that most tree surgeons wear the wrong clothing for the job and suffer for it. After all, we do spend our entire life in the elements so making work comfier must make it safer and more enjoyable to.

 

Also i try to dispel some common myths about "breathable" waterproofs and how it works and when and how it will never work!

I like the SIP jacket too, its stretchy and water just runs off. I put a few holes in mine but its dead easy to repair with Aquasure from my local fishing tackle shop
