A lineman on a pole is the identifiable, iconic picture that most people see when they think of linework. Climbing is not easy, but with all of the advancements in lineman belts over the years, it doesn’t have to be painful either. Anyone who has been in the trade long enough knows that spending hours on a pole takes its toll on the body. However, spending hours on a pole with improper fitting low-quality equipment is ridiculous. A lineman’s belt is a big investment, but if you pick the right one, it’s an investment that will save you some unnecessary aches and pains and will last you a very long time.
