Apparel

The Arborwear Transpiration t-shirt is a lightweight work tee built for hot days, here in safety yellow. It is made to handle sweat better than a plain cotton tee, and the bright color helps ground workers and climbers stay visible on the job.

Built for summer tree work

July removals are hard enough without a soaked cotton shirt sticking to your back. A tee made to move moisture helps keep you a little cooler and drier through a long climb or a day of feeding the chipper. The bright color helps the climber see the ground crew and the ground crew see each other near equipment and traffic.

It layers under a work shirt or sweatshirt on cooler mornings too. Browse more crew clothing in our clothing section.

Lightweight tees also dry faster when you take a break, which helps when you climb back up after lunch. Many crews buy them in bulk and wear a fresh one each day through the hottest months.

Fit and safety notes

Pick a fit that does not ride up when you reach or lean back in a saddle, and that is not so loose it catches on branches. Keep any loose clothing away from chippers and stump grinders.

A safety yellow tee adds visibility but is not a substitute for ANSI-rated high-visibility apparel where the job or a road work zone requires it. Drink water, take breaks in the shade, and watch your crew for signs of heat illness on hot days.

Wash it per the care label.
