I welcome the fact that jacket and trousers can be combined and have had very good experiences with this combination in cold and wet conditions. The side access to the pockets of the jacket ensures that they can also be used in the rope. In addition, the oversized hood makes it possible to wear it with a helmet.
Field feedback
What the ropes say
Technicians, trainers and rescue crews tell us how the gear holds up. Every review here has been read and approved by our team.
I have to admit that it is hard to think of one specific thing that I like the most about the Extreme Access Workwear. It's not one special feature I like about the suit but the whole combination. From fitting, waterproof level, breathability, as well as placement of pockets and accessories. I see it as a huge advantage that we as rope access professionals have been so deep into the development and design of the product, this is especially realized once you put it on and see that there is a thought behind every detail. With Extreme Access I have something to wear no matter the weather forecast. If it rains and is stormy I'm dry, even when the sun shines I can use the clothes with the wide range of ventilation and breathability.
The best rope access workwear I have ever used. Lots of pockets and stretch.
For me it was a real discovery that working clothes can be so functional, technological and comfortable. Usually in Ukraine we personally buy our own work clothes, and if the company we work for is in charge of work clothes for a project, then it is rarely really comfortable and functional, because the company seeks to save money. Yes, of course, we also have manufacturers who can produce clothes of decent quality, but it is really very far from the functionality of Extreme Access clothing. I really liked the quality of the material and the presence of a large number of pockets in really necessary places, the hood and built-in buff were very comfortable, I have definitely never seen this before. Of course, I will still use the clothes in many different situations and different conditions, and it still has to pass the test of time, but now I can say that this is definitely the coolest work clothes of all that I wore.
I really like that I can move around in this jacket. The comfort is really high. This is one of the best jackets for work I have ever had. The trousers are very nice in general. They are perfect during the summer and they offer good possibilities with the pockets, the trousers go high up in the back, this is a great detail as it protects against the wind unlike other trousers I have had.
First test was good. The trousers are really comfortable, the pockets are great and the D-rings work great in combo with my NLG tethering gear. Just perfect. I prefer this kind of gear instead of insulated clothes cause you lose a lot of movement.
I think the trousers will be ideal for rope access and rope rescue professionals as well as people like myself, outdoor photographers who are often working on the ropes. They are well designed with lots of well-thought-out features such as easy-to-access pockets with internal D rings to secure items whilst working at height. I'm a big fan of the more tapered fit and the added stretch makes them really comfortable. The materials are extremely high quality and make the trousers feel like they are built to last.
As a rope rescue professional, I can't recommend the DARK PERFORMANCE Trousers enough. The adjustable waistband and detachable suspenders provide a perfect fit for any job. With reinforced knees, crotch, and seat, they're built to withstand daily wear and tear. The multiple leg pockets are perfect for storing tools, and the ventilation keeps me comfortable during long hours. The option for hanging pockets adds great customization. Paired with the Extreme Access jackets, these trousers create a complete, adaptable outfit that truly meets my needs in the field. A must-have for anyone serious about their work.
Yesterday I used your Extreme jacket, we are talking about temperatures of -12 to -15°C all day, alternating between clouds and snow. I would say a super product to protect yourself from the elements on a building site. Look at the heat retention and the resistance to snow and cold air, I consider it excellent, considering that underneath I had a technical shirt, a cotton shirt and a vest.
In fact, these trousers are almost perfect, they are really comfortable. The only thing I would add is reflective elements, they are really lacking for safety when working at height. And I would like you to reinforce the fabric on the knees. In general, I am still for the fact that it would be incredibly cool if you made an ULTIMATE version of your trousers and jacket in black with reflective elements. In my opinion, it would be just a hit of the season. Thank you for your work and for your products.
The trousers arrived yesterday and I can only say what a wonderful work. I can't wait for Monday to try the trousers on the ropes.
