Chainsaw Shorts with Type C protection

[Dee MacThomas]

Morning all,

 

The weather's warming up nicely, and I've got a few climbing jobs coming up. I've worn a pair of Arbortec arborflex trousers through winter, but I get rather warm in them when the sun's out.

 

So I'm looking for a nice pair of chainsaw shorts. I need the all-round protection for climbing, so they must be type C. Chain speed class is less important.

 

I've worked in New Zealand, so I'm used to short shorts. A chainsaw-protected version of something like Steve Irwin would've worn would be ideal.

 

Your advice would be much-appreciated.

I tried to cut the lower legs off an old pair, but they absolutely f*cked my pinking shears and the kevlar fabric kept fraying regardless.

Chainsaw chaps with your arse out are the way forward [emoji106][emoji106]

Cloggers from Australia ? I have a pair . I am a 34 waist but went for their " medium " which is a 37 thinking I could use a belt if too big ,but , thier 37 seems nearer a 34 so all good .

@Dan Maynard put me onto this one from Pfanner.

Type C, nice and cool, but with added shoulder protection.

Waterproof as well, which is a bonus.

I'm wearing them right now under my long trousers, snow has melted and sun coming out so will whip 'em off and be cool this afternoon.

Try the chainsaw protective kilt, they're good in the heat. Lets the blower breeze in to all the sweaty nooks and crannies
