[combined tree services]

hiya im looing into geting a new pair of stretch air type c's (from joesie) and just wondering who uses what , i have had a couple pairs of the gr climbers trousers but am looking into the gladiators but not sure what they would be like for climbing in , are they as stretchy etc etc !

[Timber Tom]

I use gladiators and I think there ace! Much cooler, plenty of movement and very tough. They are only class 'a' though.

are strech air worththat extra money? the usuall price for hi flex is about £120 to £130 ,strech air are usually about £180 to £200 thats atleast fifty bucks differance ??

[old snake]

In my opinion they are worth that bit extra,they last alot longer and feel alot better made! I did like the Hi flex but after so long they just dissintergrate!! Bought myself some type a stretch airs at the AA and there awesome! very nice to climb in to especially with this heat

[Mark Bolam]

Hiflex only last me a year, so the extra money will be worth it if I get 2 out of the SA's.

 

I understand they won't be as cool as the Hiflex, but I find anything too hot for a full days climbing in this heat! Caning the hedgecutting jobs at the mo wearing safety shorts...

Binned the Hi flex and got a pair of strechairs type A from jonsie, £180 I think. Well worth the extra money, wore them today for the first time and it was hot but they were much cooler than hiflex.
