Apparel

The Arborwear A-Tree trucker cap is a mesh-back cap with Arborwear's tree logo up front. The mesh keeps your head cooler on hot days in the yard, at the shop or on the drive to the job.

Everyday cap for tree people

Trucker caps are the standard off-climb hat for a reason: the mesh back breathes, the front panel shows the logo, and it packs into the truck without fuss. The A-Tree design is Arborwear's signature look.

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 does not protect your head. Wear an approved helmet aloft, in the drop zone and around saws, chippers and grinders.

Hand wash or rinse 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.
