Afternoon arbtalk

Due to the fact I've been cooked alive in my pfanner type c railway kecks this week I'm after a new pair

Just wondering if anyone knows what the best pair are for the warm weather,also they have to be pretty tough to stand up against the viscous railway bramble

Thanks in advance

Phill

Not the Stihl ones.

The material is naff, I'm sewing for a hour or two every week. It doesn't stretch and tears keep ripping.

 

I have forwarded ideas like larger gusset patch etc to Stihl and they have sent it onto product development

in these temps, why arent you using type A's, it is allowed

[HDAV]

Does network rail or whoever you are working for allow it?

Would have to check up on that one i was always under the impression that it was type C only in a tree?

 

Has anyone had any experience with these?

You can wear type A's for climbing if you've done a risk assessment for it AND have a suitable reason NOT to wear type C's, unfortunately, most contractors specify that you must wear type C's only, so check the contract first, you may be SOL and just have to lump it in the heat

Type c's in this weather is more of a risk in my book, I don't think we need to where them most of the time anyway, if your cutting behind your legs theirs something wrong with your WP

This, unfortunately has been my thought many times, as I've been sweating my balls off in the baking sun, even the arse vents don't cool me down enough, and walking round with a leaf blower down your trousers isn't practical
