Chainsaw trouser poll

[tommer9]

The zip issue is almost invariably sorted by wearing braces. According to one supplier on here, those with zip probs didnt wear them. I stand corrected if you do wear braces tho!!!

i would go along with that arguement. ive found the lower the trousers the more strain on the groin so i either wear a belt or braces these days

[penfold]

pfanner themselves say that braces should be worn with their trousers as a belt doesn't provide the support or so i was told by their man at the apf a couple of years ago.

Been rocking a pair of stretch air gladiators for around 2 years now, still in nice nick. Within a week all the buttons for the braces had gone so I've been using them with a belt ever since, no problems with the zip...?

Also have a pair of hiflex c's, bought them for climbing, don't like them so much. Pockets are awfull too, no use for putting a lighter in.

I guess the old saying of you get what you pay for isnt relative in the zipper situation.

 

Especially since they must be the most expensive trousers you can buy atm.

 

Tbh I'd rather be seen with my todger hanging out than wearing braces!

I believe Pfanner have sorted the zip problem in the latest edition of the Stretch Airs.

 

A trip to the launderette fixing service and £15 sorted mine.

 

They are expensive, but anything else is second best.

 

Six pairs of ripped to bits Hiflex without a usable pocket between them taught me that.

strech airs at the moment , but only because i have knackered my hi flex's. i find the strechairs far hotter and not as comfy as the hi flex . however they are much harder waering.

 

i like the tighter fit of the hi flex in comparison too. easier to get your harness on and off without the leg loops getting cought.

Husqvarna Type A Class 2 - bought for winter use as they were on sale locally.

 

No real complaints. Warm as they're class 2 - but that's the reason I bought them.

Stood up fairly well to the dreaded sitka last winter - and owing to the amount of sap they're full of as a result, are now pretty water resistant too!

 

I would say though that the material in the arse of them is pretty thin, so expect that's what'll do for them in the long run - another reason not to spend too much time sitting down....

I use Stihl Forestwear Classics, They are warm, but I like my legs very much! I have used them for a year and a bit and they seem pretty tough. I dont climb in them but I use them maybe once a week () at the moment. They are comfy for what I do but I dont climb in them, so cant help there, but I dont think I would swap them.

Hiflex type C for me. Bit hot for any weather outside of January/ February. I'm waiting for the day that Stihl bring out type C Hiflex bermuda shorts.
