Can you do a review on the best jacket, or suggestions? I am looking to get a jacket, with a vest. but i am hoping to not spend hunderds of dollars for the jacket.
I don’t really make gear reviews. The best jacket is really such a personal thing. Because so many factors play into it. Since I’ve been a patroller we’ve gone through 3x different manufacturers w/ additional variances in features from season to season. And for every uniform coat that they issued us, I always had to make some personal modifications to it in order to make it functional for the type of work I do. But my favorite coat was the 2012ish era North Face GoreTex Pro shell…. I find that you get what you pay for in this business.
ha ha I don't think we have the same ski patrol job. My resort is small and we only carry basic medical needs. No avalanche, helicopter or backcountry. It take us a minute to go the bottom of hill
Any chance you could do a similar video of what you guys carry for rope equipment on the heavy and ladders?
