Haven't heard of that, but I know 100% poly works very well, I need to get a jacket and some sweatshirts. I was wondering if anyone knew of some suppliers.

Here is a link to the coveralls.

This is now our new standard Uniform. With some company branded embroidery of course.

I know you guys always sport the coveralls. I feel like it intimidates the HO, like we could be spraying something dangerous, or that we have ET locked up in our truck bed. That is why I tend to shy away from them.

Something that we've started using are "frog togs" or similar knock-offs. We get the two piece sets (bib coveralls and the jackets.) They are lightweight but waterproof and wind proof and don't bleach out.

They're made of a material similar to Tyveck house wrap, but more breathable than the coveralls.

You got a link for them? And can you brand them? We have been having some light flurries lately. Its about 34-45 degrees here.

Dan,

Go for the 100% polyester stuff. It will hold up very well. Dickies are generally 65/35 and will spot up with roof mix. I order from customink.com. They have a great selection and are resonable in price. Starter makes some base layer stuff like underarmour that Walmart sell for about $15 a shirt and it works really well. Just stick to 100% poly.

Thanks for the froggtoggs.com tip. I put an order in got the package in 2 days and they work out great. They did not bleach out, nice and water/wind prof. They do seem thin and might rip ez , but they do breath and don't hold in sweat. I was thinking to just get a nice sticker to put on them for a logo that would not bleach.

they can also be silk screen printed too!

Found the best jacket on queensboro. I have been using it for the past 3 weeks and it has not bleached out at all! The size does run small so I recommend going with a bigger size than you normally would. http://www.queensboro.com/style/6021/sport-tek-hooded-weather-resistant-jacket.html Its more of a light shell,so you can wear a sweatshirt underneath without it getting trashed by SH.
