Workwear

I know wearing a set of braces are better and more comfortable than wearing a belt to support the trousers however which are better to use either one with metal clips or ones with buttons. At the moment my trousers are buttons but the next pair may not be the same (dont know yet).

 

Which type of brace is better/do they have a working lifespan?

 

Noticed in this weather a lot of water drips through the visor when monitoring the tree while cutting, do people wear/is it a good idea to wear a pair of "normal" safety glasses under the visor?

Safety glasses are far better than just the visor... Always used to get chips flying around inside the visor, so started wearing goggles as well. Don't mess with your eyes, they damage far too easily.

I get on better with the button type braces, but more often than not you'll need to re-sew/replace the buttons a few times over the liftime of the trousers. Usually by the time the trousers are junk, the braces will be ready for the bin too - they tend to lose their stretchyness over time.

 

Visors are a pain in the arse in the rain, but safety specs are too. Best visor have found so far for working in the rain is the new type husky one as water doesn't tend to hold on it much compared to other visors (including the old type husky ones).

 

If it's windy, I'll sometimes wear safety specs though.

Crocodile clamp braces here and never wear safety specs.

I Just flick the visor up and down and water will go.

When its that wet its the least of my moans n groans
