Best Chainsaw protective gloves?

[Mr Ed]

how about the husky arbor 16?

 

Thats the ones I was wondering about - anybody got any more info?

Timberland gloves are great, the chainsaw protective ones are far too restricted across the back of the left wrist, i have spent years going through gloves, have to go with what is practical, and safe, not copping out but climbing in chainsaw gloves is a faff, John Deere do some really nice leather ones, I use XXL for big paws, they can be washed, i can climb all day in them, but it does come down to a personal preference. Same with the Gill stuff, great gloves, fingerless and you spend the rest of the night digging crap out from under your nails. Even the waterproof stuff just makes you sweaty and horrible. Hmm, better things to be doing like pricing my next big climb or pampering the wife, or better in the pub discussing that big swing you took earlier. The Timberland pro stuff is great, John Deere stuff is nice and comfy but at a price. Use the force

do they have to meet a certain spec, ed as the arbor 16's are class 0 (16m/s) according to the catalogue which has been sat on my desk since the apf; trying to drop subtle hints to the keeper of funds to no avail:thumbdown:

[Mr Ed]

No spec needed, they just need to be 'chainsaw gloves'.

We dont have to use them for climbing, do have to wear them for any ground work.

Need to find some more info.

What do you do if you need to use a chainsaw in thorn?

 

Do you have to wear the gauntletts over the saw gloves?

Probably. The company we work for dont live in the real world, and would probably make it a requirement if they thought of it.

Recently got sold some Scheik A/V gloves (supposedly) that are fingerless. Not too warm but very snug and have mega wrist support and easy to remove with fins on top of each finger. Pricey but seem to last and last. Some VWF sufferers swear by them.

Timberland Ed but get big ones they are tight !!

 

I found abrasion resistance was crap but otherwise a good glove. I had a pair on when we were at Ben's job.

 

I don't envy you as they aren't cheap, will get abused and probably lost lol

 

All my guys on scrub clearance had them and loved them.

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!

didnt realise that, I'm off to buy some now tho, haha thats all i needed to hear.

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

I won't make any claims about being best or otherwise but we do have an all leather, water resistant, Class 1 glove as well as the cheaper Class 0 http://www.sevsafe.co.uk/acatalog/Chainsaw_Gloves.html
