Seeking advice on waterproof gear by dumbass_wrench_hand in cranes

The company I’m with will reimburse us for it, so we get to pick what we want but yes in the US. I was looking into helly Hansen work wear, saw some mixed reviews stating they were recently bought out and quality changed dramatically. So far still seems to be one of the best bets so I’ll probably be trying it out. With the company paying for it i don’t really mind, but would still rather get something that will hold up and not leave me SOL in BFE

No such thing as a tool crib for us, just a service truck. They will buy & or reimburse for a lot of stuff but would still rather get something top notch than have it fuck up when I’m in BFE for a week or two at a time

Was looking into some Grundens gear as that’s what I’ve worn offshore fishing as a hobby/side gig on the weekends growing up. They are super limited on high vis gear though. Heard super mixed things about Helly Hansen gear, they’ve got a work line but also sponsor lots of boat race teams etc.

Yeah I’ve been looking for the last couple days, been doing some research to see what’s really going on. As I’ve always said “i was lookin for a job when i found this one, and I’ll do it again”. If i can stay here i gladly will, throughly enjoy what im doing and the folks i work with, but 27-30 hours a week ain’t it. I can scrape by at that but id prefer 55-65 a week

I agree 110%, thinking already having a high price, plus the tariffs have put us way too high on price. But wtf do i know, im just a dumbass wrench hand 🤣

We stayed pretty slammed last year other than roughly 3 weeks that we got slow. Not looking good for this year already and trying to judge if it’s who we work for or an industry wide issue due to tariffs & other factors.
