Think ide compromise a bit of weight for better protection

 

I know what you mean, we all want that, the chainsaw protection in boots no matter the class is highly unlikely to offer any protection against a good hit. Maybe give marginal to full protection from a glancing chain on run down.

 

As a personal opinion I'd rather lightness to reduce fatigue and back strain, given the minimal protection from even the highest class, I assume that's why high end boots are mostly only class 1 given how difficult it is to produce a boot that can protect in real work place situations.

 

Stay safe and never expect your PPE to protect you, good handling and work practice is the best form of protection.

For all non-chainsaw duties I've been walking through puddles with Dunlop Purofort safety wellies. Using them for everything.... very comfy straight out of the box & with good tread. £50 ish

I use Husqvarna technical 24s, comfy, warm, very sturdy, good with gaffs and very waterproof-no need to change, as long as these boots stay the same & husky dont skimp on materials in the future I will stick with these, Nick Pearson, Timberline-Roe Ltd.
