PF, i have one. It is great, very warm!! The brand Is Johnny Bobbin which is a good brand. We have the exact same jumper as part of our work uniform (not with the CFS logo of course). Along with a CFS beanie you are all set for those chilly nights at Brukunga :-D

awesome, have to get one.  How much are they?

[strikeathird]

I have a couple.. They are great to throw on at 3am in the middle of winter on the way to that Private Alarm...

A great supplier of this type of clothing is Arpajen and Co. Clothing Company...

email: arpajen@bigpond.net.au

They are clothing specialists...

As I write this I am wearing mine.  Green with Star emblem.  Very warm and comfortable.  Our brigade did an order for members last year, I think it cost about $60, or could have been $69.

[mengcfs]

Yeah, i paid $60.

[oz fire]

Yep, very warm have the one from Fire and Rescue Australia - nice and toasty! Great also to keep in the kit bag for those nights when you are standing around, thumb in bum, mind in neutral, waiting to be tasked!

sweet, on my way down to Adelaide and Blackwood in a minute to order one.

[probie_boy]

i tried to get a job there, but i haven't heard from them :cry:

I suppose its handy for me being a 5 minute drive from home and a 2 minute walk from mums work!

[PF_]

give 'em a ring or something or send another resume in. 

ANyone know how lonmg it takes for their stuff to come through the post?  Ordered Wednesday 2 weeks ago, said it should only be a week.

[probie_boy]

yeah, i only dropped the resume off there 2-3 weeks ago. oh well, i'll cry myself to sleep.

They're normally pretty quick with our orders. A few weeks ago at an RCR a tow truck ran over our eflare. We had a new one within 3 weeks.

[medevac]

didnt ya know ya had to be a member of Blackwood to work there???

just jokin'

[PF_]

If its a 5 minute drive how come ya didnt join them?

Just for the record my jacket arrived today.  :-)

[probie_boy]

na, a 5 minute drive to fire and rescue, not blackwood CFS. Besides, my station is about a 30 second drive. I timed it once.

[PF_]

Rightio

Takes me about 2 minutes to get to the station.

[medevac]

hah you have to be a bit closer than 5 minutes to make the trucks at blackwood...
im only about one minute from my station but it doesnt really help if ya have to wait 3-4 minutes for the rest of the crew... mind you ive never missed the first truck

[Firefrog]

Umm is this thread about Polar Fleece? :-D

[probie_boy]
