Hi All

 

Just wondering how good brushcutter trousers are at providing protection from thorns and brambles?

I do alot of utility surving and alot of sites have deep bramble/thorn cover.

 

Thanks

They are predominantly designed to protect an operator from flying debris such as stones or cut material during the brush cutting process. They arent generally designed to protect from thorns etc as most people dont wade into a pile of brambles before deciding to start cutting it down. They work from the outside in. Hedge cutting protective trousers are designed more for that kind of thing, dont have the impact protection you would need if brush cutting

Jeans are less snaggy than most chainsaw trousers & the brushcutter ones of  similar outer fabrics

 

 

Id look at  workwear jeans or maybe hunting/shooting trousers etc decathlon do hunting ones not to pricey.
