Every October, the world's best linemen gather in Kansas City to test their skills at the International Lineman's Rodeo — pole climbs, hurtman rescues, and mystery events that push climbers to their limits under time pressure and in full gear. Blaklader is proud to be part of that tradition, outfitting competitors with workwear built for the realities of the trade: FR climbing pants, breathable shirts, and stretch fabrics designed to move with linemen rather than against them.
Competitors who've worn the gear describe it as a game changer — praising the stretch, the fit, and the breathability that helps cut down on fatigue during long days on the pole. It's the same philosophy behind everything Blaklader makes: durable, functional gear engineered for people who do dangerous, demanding work for a living.
From the practice pole to the rodeo grounds, Blaklader is proud to stand behind the men and women who keep the lights on.
