Chainsaw trousers/Chaps for big guy

[panyan]

A buddy of mine needs to get some large chainsaw trousers or chaps in 54-56" waist

 

Can you guys recommend a place that would sell/make trousers of this size?

 

thanks

I did - and then I called them.

 

That is an old article and they dont stock the larger sizes any more apparently

I appreciate the link but i foresee two issues:

 

1) their size guide suggests that 3xl is equivalent to 52-54" which would be quite tight on him and that would restrict movement/be uncomfortable

 

2) He wants his trousers/chaps from a reputable brand considering it is meant to save his leg from getting cut off

If they conform to the right standard then I can't see it matters who makes them.

I agree in some respects, but the rating is just one factor when purchasing this type of thing. Others include: the quality of the fabrics/stitching, if they give a warranty against defects, if they have been designed for comfortable all-day usage, etc etc.

SIP size charts go up to 55"

Arbortec offer up to 51-54"

 

I suspect at a 54-56" waist it will be more a case of taking what's out there
