Light, windproof, waterproof, well cut for saw work and have this crazy high collar with a helmet stud.

 

I was brashing some spruce up to about 5 meters for a week, it was rodding doon rain all week and the others in the squad had hydro yellow goretex kit.

I was the only een to bide dry all week!

I think it is a few generations older of that one yeah. I don't have the mobile pocket and hanging loop or velcro cuffs. My storm flap is velcro though.

 

Wonder if its custom made for Oil and gas. I will go check if there is a model name on it

Have a look at these they are really tuff wearing and totally waterproof, the inner coat is quick to take out or put in and makes them really warm when the temperature drops! Oh and the police badges are velcro'd on so you don't have to have them!!

I checked my sea hawk but no model or part numbers. And the outer is made of Nylon.

 

I doubt I can replace it now so I went on a bit of mission last night and came accross this which to me reads as the ideal tree cutters jacket. Most of the reasons they added features for shooters work for us cutters lol

The gloves as well if you look at them have a Kevlar reinforced trigger finger haha perfect for chainsaw operators
