Thanks for the offer. I'm 34 waist 32 leg. Will they fit. 

Sorry should have read the label, They are medium waist 84-88cm so 33-35" just your size and for  someone 176-182 cm tall

The college requires you to have all round protection for safety reasons

Ok I am 190cm tall so could come up short on the leg.

Type A chainsaw trousers are hot enough as it is, you will regret buying type C imo

 

 

Husqvarna "Functional" helmet is a good tried and tested lid that will last many years

Ok do mediums usually come up quite long on the leg then?. I've got my eyes on a pair of pfanners if they go too high I'll probably go with them. Do you have any images?.

Pretty certain your Industry best practice stipulates a minimum of Design A for groundwork and Design C for aerial work.

 

Your training center should know this and are in conflict with industry guidelines suggesting otherwise
