Help Support Arborist Forum:
I really like my Gibbs ascender for use with my work positioning lanyard.
I purchased a pair of SIP Protection climbing pants, jury is still out on these. I usually use regular chaps on the ground, but when I'm using them (SIP) on the ground my back support belt tends to slide up on the material.
I also like the pulley rope slack tender, except for self belay it doesn't seem to tend much. LOL. It works better with my Pantin.
I purchased the new Vertex vented helmet by petzl, with the face shield and muffs, I found it to get in my way while climbing, so I went back to the good 'ol Ecrin roc.

I sure hope your first experience with the Pantin doesn't turn out like your first experience with your FS. 
if sizzle repeats his adventure im sure we will all have a very interesting read ahead of us.
stephen as for clothing, i have a few t shirts from Look fly who make ultimate frisbee clothes, click the tab saying proceed to online quoter at the top left, you can even choose a style and colour just for you, they used to do some cheaper ones, i can say that they are tough, light and dry quickly

My best purchase besides a bigger chipper was my echo-ppt260 power prunner. That pole saw is awsome.Its amazing how much work can be done from the ground to a tree. Its worth its weight in gold.

though i have never bought anything, the best tools i have used are different colored biners. each color has a specific use... also helps to know if i am missing some

i've been thinking about that lately. i'm afraid that i will eventually disconnect the wrong biner and have a problem. of course, i always have a backup when i disconnect, but, well, you know. . .
The best purchases that I have made this year are a silky zubat pole pruner and a few extra throw lines after launching my throw bag, line and stuff sack into a tree while trying out my new big shot.
Sizzle as far a colored CB's, I've painted mine with some rustoleum spray paint and it holds up well.
