Can anyone rewcomend some chainsaw trousers please

[sasha.p]

I had a pair of Husqvarna Pro Tech Trousers size small but they was way too big on the waist for me I can see their waist was supposed to be 30-32 waist im a size 8 most of the time very rarely get into a 10 when I realised they did not fit I just bought some hi flex in a size small and they fitted me fine but im due for some new trousers now can anyone please advise me what other trousers are on the market that are likely to fit me ?I dont want to be ordering trousers only to find they are too big again and would like to try some others so if anyone can recomend any that would be great thanks

Pfanner for me . tried all sorts including husqvarna . I find the Pfanner to bne the best fit I have ever had . A bit more expensive but very well made . I use the Pfanner gladiator ventilation .

Oh I am a bloke and 32" waist and take a medium in the Pfanners . You being a girl ( I presume ) would probably need a small if you are an 8 ??

XS hiflex type c, XS X-fit for stihl

Classics for husqy (size 44)

No idea for others as you're 26" waist

See now thats what confused me I fit into a size small in the hi flex c type!never tried the xs but would imagine they would be too small but not the husqy ?the husqy were dropping straight off me had to wear a belt wich was horrible with them my local stockist doesnt keep a lot of stock in store infact he only stocks husqy I was going to ring forest park and garden as they are the next closest to me and see what they had there but I doubt they would have much small on the shelf either in different makes but may give them a ring to check anyway.I have never tried the Pfanner before do they keep you cooler than the hi flex in the heat?

Small covers about 4/5 sizes in husqy, from your size (very small) to mine (34", not so small!)

I would suggest traveling to somewhere you can try on the trousers.

It may take a while to sort out, cost you money in fuel etc, but trousers are one of my most treasured investments along with boots. If you're uncomfortable, you won't concentrate properly resulting in errors, which in our trade isn't good!

 

Try on as many pairs as you can Sash and be fussy when buying them, the shop owner may think you're being fussy, but it's your safety you're investing in which is priceless

 

Hope this helps

True safety is always first I think I am going to have to do just that.Any recomendations as to which ones keep you cooler in the summer?

For me, the following are faultless.

Pfanner, stretch Airs and Stihl Hi-Flex.

 

The Stihls are probably the coolest trousers for climbing in for me, but the Stretch Airs are more robust.

 

All in all, Stihls for comfort and coolnes (temperature, not looking good) Pfanner for longevity.
