Well it's now the season to invest in some always bought cheap stuff before either it been disposable at the end of the season or drenched in sweat as it doesn't breathe.Been looking at Stihl or Husqvarna stuff I know the price tag is high but guess they cater to our trade better any suggestions?

    I buy all my stuff from Arco

    There is a store local to me and they do great deals in store and i have a trade card so get decent discount on everything I buy

    These days I tend to buy mostly gore tex coats as they are nice and light / waterproof.

    For me at least, working outside in all weathers it's worth spending a few extra pounds to be comfortable...

    Screwfix had a hyena one in which is fantastic!! £45 iirc

    This is where foresight comes in buddy, I always buy my waterproofs during the summer because you get some awesome deals, I brought a Rab waterproof jacket for £70.00 midsummer, that same jacket is now going for £240.00, big savings buying out of season, the Stihl jackets are ok but nothing special, tbh what ever you wear to a point your going to get wet as anything with a hole in it will let in water ie wrist holes and neck hole, goretex is defo the way to go for trying to keep as dry as possible...:-)

    I had a few days of hedge cutting the other month where I new it would be solid rain. I purchased a Harki Smock in the end. Really good jacket, but doesn't have a hood, so if your not wearing a helmet you'll get a wet face ;)
