Apparel

The Arbortec cap in black and lime is a straightforward baseball cap for tree crews. Wear it on the drive in, in the shop, at the yard or on breaks.

For time off the rope

A ball cap keeps sun and sawdust out of your eyes on the drive, during a gear check or while you're sorting rope on the tailgate. The black and lime colorway matches the rest of the Arbortec line.

More hats are in hats and caps.

Most tree crews end up with a pile of caps, and the ones that get worn are the ones that fit well and dry fast. A cap that keeps the sun off your face while you check rope, sharpen chain or write up the next estimate earns its spot on the dash.

Not a helmet

A cap is not head protection. Wear an approved helmet whenever you are aloft, on the ground in the work zone, or running a saw, chipper or grinder.

Wash on cool and air dry to keep the shape.

Sawdust, bar oil and two-stroke mix all end up on whatever you wear, so a cap that rinses clean is worth having. Avoid the dryer and the dashboard in full sun, both of which shrink and fade a cap faster than a season of work. Keep a clean one in the truck for client meetings and estimates.

If you want something to wear under a helmet on cold mornings, look for a thin beanie or helmet liner instead. It keeps you warm without lifting the helmet off its proper fit.
