Best Chainsaw protective gloves?

[Mr Ed]

Anybody got any ideas? are the timberland ones the best, or are the new Husky ones any good?

Do you have to wear them for your contract work?

Unfortunately, yes. If we are audited and caught without them, we get sent home. So if we have to use them, I want the nicest.

imo timberland best to work in especially if getting them wet

new husky ones are nice but were horrid once they had got wet

stihl ones gave the best cutting protection

but imo i would struggle to justify why you need to wear chainsaw gloves

I agree, I can't stand them but I always work in gloves, just not chainsaw protective ones.

Thats what I'd heard.

Just like all the other Husky gloves then

Typical stihl, always have to be best

I dont struggle to justify them Bob, its a contract requirement. Personaly, I like the nice snug suedey type gloves I buy at the local toolshop, but they are not good enough.

We are also required to use the heavy welding gauntlets if we handle or climb any kind of thorn

how about the husky arbor 16?

All my team have been using Timberland for the last few years. Very good gloves, and if you wear Stihl high-flex and aqua-fell boots they all match!

I found the Husqy gloves wore out very fast and have way too much padding, also they feel very stiff after getting wet.

I know a few chps with the timberland gloves, they seem to liek them, comfy and everything, but annoying padding on the left hand, like you'd get with any gloves.

but they do make you look like a ninja
