Stein jacket

[tommer9]

Nice one Joe

 

I want one but I'm too tight

 

But they are sooooo good Dean. I have tried so many crap jackets over the yeras, and this stein has had twig snags and abrasion and monsoon, and TBH i cannot fault it. I did end up wet a few weeks back after a day in a tulip tree from about 10am til about 3pm and nearly 2" of rain fell that day, but i was dry for most of the day, and i think most of the water went up my sleeve (or down i spose when i raised my arms) and down my neck.

Anybody used Ventile material for work? Keep hearing good things about it, but the price always deterred me. Any thoughts?

Ventile is ok but it drys its like cardboard when its been drenched, its ok for hillwalking and is very breathable not sure about tree work though

Ive recently bought a stein jacket myself but not got it wet yet!! I usually just get wet then change my top,always got a spare t-shirt and jumper in van.

I was considering one of those but thought the stein looked nicer to climb in. Although we have now got a young apprntice workin for us,so i might just send himout in it and i'll supervise from the cab of my van:001_tongue:
