2nd hand Trousers?

[robbutler]

Hi

What do people think of second hand chainsaw type C trousers?

 

Am debating whether to get some stretch airs that may be a bit small (am a 32 / 33 waist and they are size small - too tight for climbing?)

 

Or Oregons that have a couple of rips of the outer layer - Don't know if the inner layer has been damaged or if it's just superficial.

 

Either would save me a bundle.

 

Is it worth the risk or should I go for new ones to be safe?

Whatever you do, do not go too small, if the others have rips and there is not too much lost, stitch them up, just my opinion though.

don't get them small mate, the crotch will rip and the fly will pop...unless you like plenty of fresh air whilst your working

And your really considering buying them... Your either really struggling for cash or mental.

Potentially a 'short-term' saving for a medium-long term increased risk, in reduced effectiveness, AND discomfort which can also increase the risk of an accident.

 

Christmas is coming..!

 

Take care out there..

im a 32" waist and small stretch airs are loose on me. wear them a bit higher than other pants and it stops me stretching the crotch when i stretch my legs so no rips. really comfy in them,a medium would be too big.
