Climbing jacket

[Andrew Gale]

I've used many over the years and the one that I use now for both ground work and aerial work is the Field Smock made by Country Covers; it's not cheap but hard as nails.

 

I had them make mine slightly longer in the arm (not that I'm longed armed) due to me hating having sleeves ride up my arm at full reach.

 

It's got a full hood that can envelope a chainsaw hat albeit snuggly and a through front pouch style pocket; my only criticism is that they don't do it in a brighter colour, although I'm sure if you asked them nicely they would do.
