Chainsaw trousers Type A or Type C

[hedgesparrow]

i have gladiator type A but only on ground so do not need type C did have a pair but looked like Michelin man in them so bulky and job to work in them.

my gladiators draw back with them the lining on back is poor get cold back legs in this weather as no lining. and get wet bum and legs. on back.

would like a pair with better lining in back.

son in law has a pair of Oregon and far better than my gladiators more like trousers but with the protection and better lining in back jacket is good as well

The Oregon type c's are very comfortable but you get pretty hot and sweaty. Easy to climb in and fine on the ground in the winter. Need braces though or they fall down!

I like C's in winter and A's in summer, but because i insist my employees wear C's, I wear them too (lead by example, not be hypocritical and all that). We do alot of bramble and thorn work and C's are ideal protection.

I had a chain snap last week and had it wrap around my leg minor cuts to back of my leg whish I had been wearing my type c .

@ Ross

did it cause cuts, even through the trousers ?

or cut through the trouser material?

 

Thanks

chaincatcher was there ,was half way through a big conifer stump hit something which broke the chain and chain whipped around the stump and got me ,it must have been something hard to break the chain you could see a shear mark in the chain .lost teeth of chains in the past never had one shear through the links.anyone else had this happen ?.

What make was the chain?

I've had a Carlton chain break so I've never bought them again.

I had an 020 chain go and just disappear into the distance, never to be seen again.
