choosing new chainsaw pants

[plank_pusher]

I've been looking at investing in some new type A trousers. I'll be climbing and everything in them, probably sleeping in them if they're nice enough.

Whatever I get needs to be cool enough to wear in 45°c + temperature and able to deal with everyday wear and tear.

Just wondered if anyone could suggest the best pair to get.

I've had my eye on some of the newish stein ones, anyone got a pair?

 

Cheers

As always keep those eyes up and stay safe

OMG, here we go again😂.

Can I strongly suggest you look through the old threads on trousers as this is the topic that seems to cause the most squabbling.

During the last one, I thought a few of us were going to have to meet in a field and draw muskets!😱😱.

I'm going out on a limb here and going to say Oregon Waipoua. I've had a pair quite a while now, and in warmer weather they seem the most comfortable. I also like the large HD press stud pockets. Mine are wearing well to date.

Oh Andy, you've done it now.

 

Sipps Progress are the best.

Stihl Hi-Flex are the worst.

:lol:

Old mill do you know nothing?? Stretch airs are easily the best

Stretch air ventilation . The coolest they make .

Right mate, outside, now!

Actually Stretch Air are the same as Progress IMO. They feel the same shape and the stitching in the crotch area opens as soon as you climb in the truck.

Although the waist fit is better than the Stretch Airs.

 

Progress all the way!!

Had mine about 3wks and they're great so far. Mine are type C but are still pretty cool and comfy.

I'm on my second pair of the waipoas already and only had the first 6 months!
