Back then there were two clothing options for tree work — traditional canvas work pants or technical rock climbing pants. Canvas pants were too stiff, never fit us very well and restricted our movement while we were climbing trees. We even tried laying them in our driveway for a couple weeks to soften them up. Rock climbing pants on the other hand allowed free range of movement but sure didn’t hol
d up well to tree work, not to mention they cost an arm and a leg. Our solution was to marry the two pants and make a comfortable canvas work pant that you could actually move in. A pant that fit well, held up to the job, and cost less than a case of bar oil. After lots of prototypes and on the job testing we finally made some things we liked. Truth is we found that other folks liked them too, not just arborists. The features that make our clothes great for tree work are the same ones that suit any work environment or lifestyle that demands more from your clothes. We’re not about bells and whistles, just the things you need, that actually work. Making honest, hardworking clothing remains our passion. All of our styles are made using heavy-duty fabrics and innovative, free-moving designs. We personally test our clothes 50 feet up — climbing trees and on the ground dragging brush — not in some fancy lab. The result is something you can trust day in, and day out. Join us in putting yours to the test the same way we do — one leg at a time.
