Apparel

The Teufelberger Fresh Swell long sleeve climbing t-shirt gives arm coverage against bark, sun and bugs. It is a comfortable layer for a long climbing day.

Why long sleeves

Bark scrapes, sun, poison ivy and bugs all argue for covering your arms in the tree. A long sleeve shirt gives that coverage and is easy to layer under a jacket on cold mornings.

A shirt that fits close but moves freely is easier to work in than a loose one that catches on limbs.

Teufelberger is best known for climbing and rigging rope, and the Fresh Swell shirt carries its name for climbers who want a shirt from a brand they already trust. A comfortable layer matters on long days aloft, when you are in the saddle for hours and moving through tight canopy.

Fit and care

Check the sizing chart before ordering. Wash cold and line dry to keep the fit. Clothing is not PPE; wear chainsaw protection, eye and hearing protection and a helmet as the job calls for.

Many climbers keep two or three work shirts in rotation so there is always a clean one ready for the next day. A long sleeve shirt is also a good base layer under a work jacket or high-visibility vest when the weather turns cold. Bright colors also help ground crew keep track of the climber in the canopy.
