Been using Swazi for the past few years, they do some good cheap fleeces which are ideal for climbing, especially the micro shirt, be warned though, some of the clothing they make is very expensive!

 

SWAZI New Zealand - The worlds most durable outdoor clothing - SWAZI New Zealand - The world's most durable clothing.

 

I wear the swazi gortex, good hard wearing jaket, but think they cost £350 now so it better last till I die! You can look like Ray Mears though!

Three words:LATEX CAT SUIT

 

Waterproof,flexable,durable and daring.

 

Why they havn't caught on is anyones guess?

Oh,thats it,not chainsaw proof.

 

of course they are chainsaw proof, if you turn up wearing one of them you wont be let anywhere near a chainsaw!

 

ive just invested in a HH dry thermal top, im not doing much work so im a bit reluctant to go and spend big money on loads of layers that probably wont get worn ten times in a month.

 

TK Maxx has some good regatta windproof/water repellant jackets, ive bought one in a small instead of a medium and prefer it so much more to any other jacket, huge pockets with zips, warm, and doesnt intrude!

I've got a mardale treetop smock. Very good jacket - durable, waterproof and stays under the harness when climbing. I use my fristads fleece under that.
