soaked chainsaw trousers - whats best?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Wash them on a quick wash then spin then tumble them on low heat.

Or buy another six pairs of trousers.

I use this stuff made by nikwax, it doesn’t make them waterproof but it does increase the water repellency of the fabric meaning they take longer to get wet, absorb less water and dry out quicker.

When you get home put a big brew on. Get some 2l soft drink bottles. fill em with near boiling water. lay trousers out on the floor (you can do this inside or in a dry garage or on a covered deck etc outside) and stick the bottles in the pants. Leave em for a few hours, then refill bottles before going to bed.

 

Trousers will be good by morning.

 

Now combine that idea with a warm cupboard and a dehumifier and they's be dry by morning.

 

I'd go with the wash and spin dry first though.

Wash em an hang em over a door over night. Mine are class 2 trousers and are proper thick and I have no trouble with them drying over night after washing them

I made a drying locker for my kit.

Roller front locker with one of those oil filled radiators inside. Clothes hang above the rad and boots go under. works lovely, but a spin cycle first really helps.

Plus I love the feeling of putting on gear that's all lovely and warm in the morning.
