Apparel

The Arbortec Breatheflex Pro jacket is a stretchy, breathable work jacket from Arbortec's top Breatheflex line, here in brown Realtree camo. It is made for climbers and ground workers who need to move freely in cool weather without overheating.

Made for moving

Tree work is hard on jackets: you are reaching, climbing, dragging brush and sweating, then standing still while the ground crew rigs. The Breatheflex Pro jacket uses stretch fabric so it does not bind across the shoulders and lets heat out when you are working hard.

The brown camo version suits crews who prefer a low-key look. If you need to be seen near traffic or on a busy site, the orange version is the better pick. More options are in our jackets section.

It also works as a layer for the drive in and the cold start of the morning, then comes off once you are warm. Pair it with Breatheflex chainsaw pants for a matching kit, but keep in mind that only the pants offer saw protection.

Fit and care

Size it so you can raise your arms fully without the hem riding up, with room for a layer underneath. A jacket that is too loose can catch on branches and gear.

Wash as the label directs and avoid harsh detergents. Keep in mind this is a work jacket, not chainsaw protection. Wear proper saw protection and high-visibility clothing where the job calls for it.
