Thread: Anyone tried caterpillar clothing??

Saw a couple of heavy work jackets that looked nice and toasty today, been looking at reviews and they seen to come out ok but seams falling apart is there down fall.

Anyone here used caterpillar clothing or boots before?

Caterpillar Jackets: Men's W11432 016 Black Heavy Insulated Water-Resistant Parka - Working Person's Store

Yet too look for one in nz but looking at prices overseas they are looking at around $200 including shipping.

Read another review saying after 2hr rain they get wet inside,so make that 30mins of nz rain looking at using up in the snow yet needs to be tough enough to be crawling under vehicles etc.

Swandri or oilskin

I had a pair of Cat boots a few years ago. They were the biggest pile of shite ever. Soles literally fell off after 6 months

Not the best endorsement I've heard but at least it gives me an idea of what their gear is like cheers

Had a pair of Cat boots many years ago, were very good till the dog got hold of them. Not sure what the quality is like these days.

My cat sunnys lost a lens in a week

I had a pair of boots in 2008, rubbish, made for the fashion market like a lot of their stuff.

Not many positive comments there..... I have a couple of pairs of cat workpants I bought 2 years ago while over in oz really good a..but only wear them for 3-4 months a year (no not without changing) maybe it depends on where they are manufactured or maybe they just send the shit over here because we are a smaller market?

Got some CAT boots for work of One Day, they are awesome, very comfortable, of course I only sit in my office and Occassionally sweep the floor!

Hmmm talked with the guy wearing one and he reckoned it was lasting ok.... Think I'll get one and expect it to die by the end of the season and be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't. If it's under 200 then I won't be complaining.

If it's anything like there machines it will be shit
