Too Hot! - What chainsaw trousers?

Recommended Posts

I'm so over this long hot summer. My Stihl Hiflex (Class 2, Type C) are unbearable in any weather over 21c degrees.

 

It's time for me to find some lightweight, "comfier" trousers for summer. 

 

Can anyone recommend trousers that they find ok in warm weather? Don't mention Arbortec Breathflex though, I hate them, they don't breathe or flex.

 

Cheers

I agree with you on the breathflex pretty shite.

I use husky technicals type A with vents at the back.I dont climb everyday in the summer months so its hard to judge how they would hold up to rigorous daily abuse.

Pfanner do good trousers  some of there type A's have vents.Pricey though,very pricey

Hi good people, new to arbtalk, and not sure if I'm on the right bit, to ask a quick question, 

Been using a chainsaw for about 30 years, but now been told to do a chainsaw course, just got all new PPE stuff ready for the course, and now been told it's out of date, just a bit confused, it's still in its boxes, so how come it's out of date if it's never been warn, please could someone give me some advice, 

Many thanks mark

Not sure how it can be out of date if you only just bought it!  More details please

Hi Steve

me again, 

The PPE I bought has a date of 2002, and told it had to be more up to date, 

And if I take to the course, i would unable to attend the course,

Many thanks 

Mark 

 

If you're referring to the helmet it's to do with the plastic becoming brittle but as long as it's been in a box they didn't mind on our course, within reason of course.

Hi 

I bought it about three weeks ago of bloody eBay

Time to send it back, and tell them to stuff it somewhere, to sad thing is, 

I only use a chainsaw for about two weeks in a year, for fallen branches, and to trim small trees, that's what you get 

 trying to save a bit of money, 

It's been a bad year for grass cutting, only lost about 6 grand, 

Never mind it's growing now, slowly, 

Thanks for your help, 

Mark
