improvised chainsaw trousers

[danroker1987]

hello all

 

chainsaw trousers never last long , the outer part anyways, if for instance big tears or crotch damage that is beyond repair,isit acceptable to sew the kevlar into say some cargo trousers or jeans, i ask this as i have dozens of old pairs laying around and its a shame to waste them as its the kevlar we are paing the money for!! obviously i know once the kevlar is ripped,cut,damaged they are no good. i am so bored!!!!

Id say it depends on how old they are ive seen vids on youtube were they have literally no protection when they are to old.

Wearing a pair of lightweights over the top and braces will protect the outer layer for years (the lightweights) and go a long way to countering crotch ripping probs (braces), as well as covering up any rips that do occur in unsightly places........

well i go through two-three pairs a year so if there a year old???

Ive found when anything rips normal thread does not last long, So I do all my repairs with 20LBS breaking strain braided fishing line.

Hard to knot but seems indestructable as it should be at the price

I honestly believe they are designed to fall apart after a year or two to keep us spending £200 on the bloody things!

 

If someone came up with a pair where you could just buy new outers and stick the ballistic inserts in with poppers they would be on a winner.

 

Are you listening Stretch Air?

 

Like you Dan, I've got loads of old pairs lying around in tatters with pristine kevlar inside.

And isnt it just insulting the way stihl magnanimously include ONE 3" square repair patch with their trous.....within no time at all ther is little or nothing left to sew that to anyway- more like a fishermans net:thumbdown:

i suppose if there not even a year old they'd be ok.
