Tech tip for sappy Arborwear Tech Pants

[scott_baker]

Hey I love my arborwear tech pants but they get trashed by sap like any other pant.

I've had success removing pine and fir sap...and lots of it by:

1.Get a bottle of Citrusolve cleaner.
2.Wet the sapped areas with the cleaner full strength (no it won't dissolve the fabric).
3.Add some of the Citrusolve to the washer per directions on bottle.
4.Wash hot/cold on heavy cycle....I know the pants say wash cold but I have only tried this using hot water.

The first time I tried this I got a pair of pants out of the washer that looked like new. Even old hardend sap that had been through the wash many times came out.
Yeah I love my pants! Now I'm going to try this on a sap trashed lanyard.

Yep, they're all that. Like climbing naked -- except the cops don't come and drag you out of the tree.

Wow that was from a long time ago. I use a tub off gojo hand cleaner when washing my work clothes from time to time.

I love my stretch techs, but I sweat like an animal, and they are just too damn hot in the summer time. Only benefit is they dry real fast!

[/ QUOTE ]i haven't found a pair of pants that i don't sweat in during the summer months. i thought about trying the ascender's and seeing if they were more breathable though.

Do you find your legs chafing with sweaty pants in the summer? Mine did this year.
