Arborwear Hoodie: Double Thick Hooded Sweatshirt, Navy, Large

This Arborwear hoodie is the Double Thick hooded sweatshirt in navy, size large. Two layers of heavyweight fabric add warmth and toughness, making it a reliable winter layer for climbers and ground crews.

The Arborwear hooded sweatshirt crews reach for

The Arborwear double thick hoodie is a winter staple on a lot of tree crews. It is made with two layers of fabric, so it holds more heat than a standard sweatshirt and stands up longer to bark, brush and rope.

It works as an outer layer on cold, dry days and as a mid layer under a shell when it is wet or windy. The hood keeps wind off your neck when you are on the ground.

Arborwear hoodies are designed with tree work in mind, so the cut leaves room for climbing movements and the fabric holds up to the bark and brush that wear out ordinary sweatshirts. Many climbers own more than one so they can rotate a dry layer through the week.

The Arborwear hooded sweatshirt also has a large front pocket, useful for warming your hands while you wait for the climber or carrying a phone while you work the ground.

Navy, size large

This listing is navy in size large. Navy looks a little cleaner off the job than black while still hiding most of the dirt. If you want black, see the black Double Thick hoodie.

The cut leaves room for a base layer and for reaching overhead when climbing or throwing line. If you are between sizes, think about what you will wear underneath.

If you already own Arborwear sweatshirts, the size large will fit the same way. If you are new to the brand, compare the size chart with a hoodie you like and remember the cut is meant to layer.

Wearing it on the job

Keep the hood down or tucked when you climb so it does not interfere with your helmet. Shorten or tuck drawstrings so they cannot catch on rope or branches. Near a chipper, keep everything snug and never reach into the infeed; follow ANSI Z133 and the chipper manufacturer's instructions.

Arborwear sweatshirts are not high-visibility garments. For roadside work, wear an approved vest over the top.

On cold days, combine the hoodie with a stocking cap and neck warmer for a layered setup you can adjust as you warm up. Take the hoodie off before heavy climbing if you start to sweat, then put it back on when you come down.

A hoodie does not replace saw PPE. When running a saw, wear chaps or chainsaw pants, eye and hearing protection, gloves and a helmet, as ANSI Z133 requires.

Care

Wash cold, inside out, and dry low or hang dry. Skip fabric softener. Treated well, these hoodies last for years.

Wash with like colors to keep the navy from fading quickly, and avoid bleach. Repair small snags early so they do not grow into holes.
