SIP progress climbing trousers?

[alpamayo]

Saw these on Treeworker but haven't seen them listed for sale at other vendors? I've had a pair of SIP 6.1's for several years and love them. They are bulky and too hot for most pruning work, so I use them when doing medium to larger removals.

 

Anyone use the progress trousers? Been looking at these or the pfanner's but haven't made up my mind. Thanks for any advice, or input.

Hello JP

 

We have had good reports back on these trousers and have been selling them for a while now. Nice and light and cool.

Been using these for the last 5 months and find them great. Equally as good as my last SIP freeedom Trousers. If not a bit cooler.

 

Fit is pretty much the same as the freedom if not a bit more room round the waist (maybe i am shrinking)

 

Kevlar protection on the bits that need it and cut well for grounding and climbing.

 

All in all a great pair of trousers

 

IMO better then stretch airs.

 

I think they come in three colours as well so you really are spoilt for choice.

Getting really good feedback from our customers too JP. Comfy and hard wearing trouser. Fast becoming our most popular Type A trouser. If you are climbing though, you might require a Type C, which Progress doesn't come in at the moment. Link to Progress info here:

are they grey or is it just the picture?

[Yve_Clark]

Anthracite grey is the official colour

 

The knee pads and inside of the ankles (Cordura/Armortex fabric) and the bi-stretch fabric on the seat area are in black

great trousers Been working in them now for about 6 months. Nice stretchy fabric. Hard wareing kevlar on the knees and ankles. Nice and light. Mine came in olive/green colour. Had the SIP freedom class C. These were very hot/heavy for working in. Gone over to class A now, much more comfatable for working in.

I have had a pair for a couple of months and they are great, they are very hard wearing, better than the stihl that most people wear. my stihl didnt last long at all.
