Chainsaw boot test

[Fortec]

I find it really hard to believe that a "team of working tree surgeons" designed these boots. IMO they are simply steel toe cap work boots with added chainsaw protection. I am 100% certain that if they were designed from scratch by working climbers they would be very different

 

Sorry old chap but they definitely were. It took more than 18 months of work to complete the development.

 

As to your comments regarding "simply steel toe cap work boots" - this is NOT true. It is extremely difficult to create a boot which has chainsaw protection, is waterproof and then comfortable. I appreciate that there are users out there that prefer a stiff, heavy boot and we're working on something - watch this space ....

OK, so if these boots are designed by climbers what features do they have over normal safety boots othre than the protection

What you after? a hover mode?

[tokaloch]

Just want to know what the input of the designers was

True i cant image a little old boot stopping an 88.

 

Still you could have steel sheet plates on top of the boot so the saw slides and cant dig in or kevlar.

 

You should let us design a boot lol.

Or just don't cut your feet!!

I've had a pair of aquafell xperts for about 8 nomths now and think there the bllcks

 

All other boots ive had in the past would have fell to bits by now, these are still in one piece and are still waterprooof.

 

Too many people think that with some boots and chainsaw pants on they are invincible and if anything happens its the manufactores fault

[Log-ologist]

Please note that any Aquafell Xperts with an ORANGE flex zone are the old MK 1 versions and will split @ the heel as the material used was rubbish.

 

If you send them back to either the dealer you bought them from or directly back to us (see address in my reply to Bob) we'll send you a new pair FREE. The new pair wil be the MK2 with BLACK LEATHER FLEX ZONE.

 

Hope this helps and please accept our appologies for the hassle.
