stein trousers

[Dilz]

Just noticed the new stien (or is it stein??) chainsaw pants when windown shopping on HBros site, any one used em, any good? like the idea of the hear proof thigh fabric, though i belive it is a unsauid tradition, a right of passage as it were, in that when you don a new pair of chainsaw keks you must melt the a big hole in them on your first day ( or in the case of two people i know jam the saw into em - just testing them they said to the boss who failed to appreciate the humour of the situation)

Ive only seen the above advert, But yes it does sound like a gimmick to me.

 

assuming it will only work if the saw is sitting in a certain place?

I've got a pair, very nice fit but bloody warm.

 

The heat proof bit needs to be on the other leg aswell, unless you like to operate the saw upside down!!

only if your cack-handed kev:sneaky2:

On a 200/201 the exhaust is on the right of the saw, unless you have the saw upside down or cutting next to your aris then the exhaust will always be away from your leg.

 

Unless you are cutting on your left when the exhaust is against your leg hence the need for the nomex on the left leg

I have never burnt any trousers with a chainsaw exhaust, polesaw yes, chainsaw no.

I definatly used to burn holes a lot, but not anymore? Maybe I have better positioning these days?

burnt them with the hedgecutter but not the saw

Oh, forgot to add that I wear a Farriers apron at all times.

hang the saw on my left side so the exhaust is pressed up against my leg if on tick over when i clip it up on a carry tool, i dont know why i have my saw on this side, as i'm right handed most of the time..... Warm is good in winter but right now I only use type A's for climbing when its hot. was looking at the new sthil trousers but a mate has a pair, they look too tight to me, and the crotch went on his after 2 weeks.
