That’s a good point, but always check seller ratings! I once got a uniform that was way too big.

For new uniforms, I recommend checking out Cabela’s or Dick’s Sporting Goods. They have a solid selection.

Great suggestions! I’ve also seen some unique options at local outdoors stores.

24

Don’t forget about websites like Amazon – sometimes they have military surplus uniforms that work well for game wardens.

While shopping online, always double-check the return policy. You don’t want to end up with something that doesn’t fit!

True! Plus, some stores may have a restocking fee, which is just annoying.

Lol, I bought a surplus hat that turned out to be someone’s favorite fishing cap. Smelled like the river! Always sniff before you buy.

Absolutely! You can wear the best uniform, but conduct is what truly matters in the field.

I’ve been a game warden in PA for over five years now. The uniforms are designed for durability, but comfort can vary. I recommend trying them on with the gear you’ll be using.

Absolutely! I had to size up when I first got my uniform because I preferred a looser fit for mobility in the field.

36

When it comes to alterations, I added extra padding to my elbows for comfort during long hours in the field. It makes a big difference! Anyone else do this?

37

I haven’t thought about that! I usually just wear thicker layers under my uniform for warmth during winter.

38

I’ve found the boots to be crucial for comfort. They need to be waterproof and have good ankle support since we’re often on rugged terrain.

100% agree! I learned the hard way during a rainy patrol. A good pair of socks helps too!

Anyone have tips for adjusting uniforms for summer heat? The standard fabric can be hot during those long days in the field.
