Trouser manufactures , please design a better solution

Love mine, but I feel sorry for it now because it hardly ever comes out.

 

Feels like a bag of bricks compared to the 2511!

[Mick Dempsey]

Me too, I have 3x201s and the battery Husky, they are all just back ups to the 2511.
 

You still at it full time? There was talk of you going in more with your wife’s agency thingy.

No mate, part time now. My wife owns me for half the week!

Tend to throw more bodies at jobs to make the most of my tree days, but it's good in that I can pick and choose my jobs and clients to a bigger degree.

 

Having said that I'm cutting windblow out of a moat tomorrow and working Sunday.

[Mick Dempsey]

Well that deserves a gif then..

If the weather man's right there'll be more windblown in there on Sunday!

I get wear but never as bad as that and that's on hiflexes. How high do you hitch up whilst moving about and where and what on your harness.

clipped to a Petzl spinball on a Reecoil hitched up to a DMM Vault. Always had it on every single pair of strides

[Treerover]

Try leaving the chain break off when the saw isn't running, so that the chain pulls around the bar instead of cutting the trousers. Just remember to put it back on before starting the saw. 

Ahhhhhh good tip, I shall try that. Nice one thank you Dan [emoji106]

[Treerover]

Why don’t you high clip the saw?

Do you know I've not thought of that. Do you not just defer the problem to your outer thigh and get your lanyard caught on it though? Its worth a play with though. Thanks Mark [emoji4]

Put the saw lanyard on the top of the saw, not the back. Keeps the bar sticking out away from your legs. I use a Reecoil, mainly because they're awesome and allow you to do this easily and secondly, I think the bloke on the front of the catalogue is inspiring and ruggedly sexy

[Dan Maynard]

I used to have this but not as bad as you, now wear a Sawpod which means plastic Silky scabbard protecting the leg.
