The Arborwear Ascender Jacket – The toughest jacket you’ve never heard of!
Like many contractors, I operate in two hemispheres of the home-improvement world: building and business. I need gear that’s at home in both places, and that’s how I ended up with Arborwear’sAscender jacket ($200). I’ve worn this jacket as an outer shell on jobs where the high temperature reached only 9°F, on projects that had 40°F temperature swings in the course of a day, and on spring projects where the weather never actually got nice.
Unlike a puffy winter jacket, the Arborwear Ascender Jacket works best when you layer up. For winter work, it breaks the wind, repels snow, and still enables me to move. When I have a lot of back-and-forth work to do—such as on a recent flooring project where the saw was outside—it keeps me warm outdoors without frying me indoors.
