Chainsaw trousers

[Ratman]

Anyone rate the lower priced chainsaw trousers £60 - £100 price range, promised to buy myself some for obvious reasons. You never know what could happen when using your tools, i’m not a pro like most of you guys so dont want to invest hundreds in to clothing but do appreciate the dangers so want to buy something. Any advice is much appreciated [emoji106]

I bought the Oregon ones five years ago for €85 and they've been excellent. Need braces with them though

[Ratman]

Did ponder on some pants with sawn in braces, gets frustrating keep pulling ya pants up and re fettling yaself, and you look odd to passers by [emoji6]? some husky pants on bob richardson tools & fastners website at £65 that looked ok for the money, but then i get baffled with class ‘a’ ‘b’ ‘c’ etc. I just take it that the more expensive ones will be better ??

Oregon Yukons here. Last me years of part time use. Not too hot and tough enough for some hedge laying. Weakest point is the pockets which detach themselves at will.

 

Met plenty of groundies using the same

What size are you ? I have a pair of Husqvarna Technical Front protection with zips in the back of the legs and bum that have never been worn .  They have been kicking around here since I retired . Think they were around £ 180 new .  I was a 32" waist at the time and needed a belt but now I am a 34" and the same strides stay up without the belt !  Make me an offer if you want .  I wont ever use them .

I bought a roc wood (spelling might be off) pair for £50ish a while ago, they are fairly decent, obviously not as good as the pro brands but they get the job done.

My mate sometimes helps me out with groundwork and has a pair of those rocwood chainsaw chaps.

Pretty decent for the price and seem toolast.
