Description
In 2014, Arbortec brought the Breatheflex Chainsaw trousers to the market. Over time, Arbortec has incorporated your feedback and made some improvements. For instance, extra belt loops at the front of the trousers were added to prevent them from riding up or down when wearing a belt. The stiff braces attachment flap on the back of the trousers was also redesigned to have a much smaller and softer surface area.
The Breatheflex Chainsaw trousers from Arbortec are designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and highly breathable, while still providing excellent abrasion resistance and quality blocking material. To achieve this, Arbortec utilized durable yet lightweight materials like Dyneema® and Kevlar® to ensure flexibility for climbing and groundwork, while also ensuring full protection when using a saw. The outer shell of the trousers is made from Climasphere breathable fabrics, which are highly abrasion and snag-resistant. The six-way stretch feature ensures a comfortable and long-lasting chainsaw trouser.
The trousers are available in Type A front protection only, Type A Plus front protection and halfway up the back of the leg and Type C offers all-around protection. Don’t forget to add a pair of Heavy Duty Braces for Chainsaw Trousers.
When cleaning and drying these trousers, make sure to always air dry or hang in an airing cupboard. DO NOT TUMBLE DRY!
PLEASE NOTE: PPE is essential when using a chainsaw, be sure always to have full protective equipment worn on-site at all times. Don’t risk losing a limb or a life.
