Great Pair of Pants

Arborwear Arbenter Pant - Men's

Arborwear Arbenter Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 25, 2012

Got these after I got a pair of the Original Tree Climbers and loved those. They have a lot of the same amazing design features such as the aggressive 3 piece crotch and quality pockets but they dont have the double knee so they look a bit more normal and could easily be worn in a public setting without looking like you just walked off a job site. Super great mobility, amazing comfort, just an overall amazing pair of pants. Would recommend to anyone.

Best Pants Ever

Arborwear Original Tree Climbers' Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 25, 2012

Had these pants for a bit over a year now. Pretty much the only pants I wear now because I am either wearing these or just rocking shorts. Amazing for working in, anything from metalwork to tree climbing to trail work. Also great for hiking and climbing where you need a more rugged pant. Not exactly a light weight option but far better than jeans, dickies or similar work pants.
Would and have bought them again and would recommend them to anyone. A++

Mountain Hardwear Kelvinator Down Jacket - Men's

June 1, 2012

They should all fit relatively the same but expect any down jacket to fit a bit large because they are not designed to pull tight to your body they are designed to be light, fluffy and leave lots of air space

Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Pole

May 9, 2012

I would be more worried about the cork falling apart than the carbon breaking
Carbon will be stronger than aluminum in all cases. Its a woven network rather than an extruded metal so it will keep its flexibility even at low temps where aluminum would be brittle
