pfanner or breathflex pros

[Dilz]

People keep trying to hand me spare change if im just loitering on the street at work so i guess its about time to i got some new trousers - serioulsy last time i was in need of a new set and I was on the way back home from a 3 month work away line clearance I got mistaken for a refugee. At the train station when i was leaving for home they tried to not let me on the train  and then when I got back to Malmö city two aid wrokers ran up to me and tried to take me to a immigration shelter to await a bus to the migration center - I kid you not - full winter beard, all my life in my big old portage bag and my old saw trousers on - think they were husky tech's ....proabably explains it... 

 

any way i digress - Been happy if a bit toasty in my galdiator extreems for the last nearly 3 years (personal record for chainsaw trousers), tried my mates hi vis pfanner vents and not so impressed - maybe a different material?  - been tempted by the feed back on the breathflex pro's  as they seem to have possibly fixed a few problems on the precious version - just not sure of longevity - might just get the pfanner arborist - the extreems are really good and last ages - but reckon they  are bit too warm in the summer and I'm back on domestics so not so much wading through miles of thorn and up and down rail embankments, so guessing that the arborist version are a bit lighter, and airy. Found the vents actaully warmer than my gladiator extreems, and too tight fitting above the knee so not super flexible on the climb. 

 

Im a poor subby who has to buy all his kit out of my meager earnings so longevity / bang for buck is key. 

 

Any feed back much appreciated.

Pfanners and only pfanners

yeah...i think the fact i got 3 years out of pair and i could probably have gotten more if i had patched and sown them shows they are worth the cash - probably going to get the extreemes again - they have their down points, but the extra kevlar makes them really tough, as well as pretty water resistant.

I tired my mates pfanner ventilation - they were hi viz - he hates them - Im not a fan - I found them even warmer than my gladiator extreemes and also not very flexible - but i wonder if the hi viz material is to blame..?? 

 

[bigtreedon]

The hi viz ones are different they are awful

[bigtreedon]

And yes the material is to blame ive worn all the pfanner trousers and settled on the black ventilation they are different material than the others last really well and very flexible

[Dilz]

KNew it! I was telling my mate the hi vis material is different but he was having none of it. 

 

Will certainly consder them now

I have the extreemes in red but not hiviz . They are a bit stiffer than my older grey vents but ok .

[Dilz]

i dont think they do the extreems in hi viz - only the vents as far as i know.  I got really good mileage out of my extreems - and great for ground work and in winter.
