Trousers help?

[TheHungrySquirrel]

Hi guys and girls, only just joined up here, I'm going to be doing my cs30/31 tickets so I can finally upgrade from brush monkey to a cutter and need some gear.

 

I think I have my boots sorted just trousers.

 

I'm looking at the husky bib and brace type A as I like that style of trouser and also the price is appealing. Has anybody used these and know what there like? I'm going to be heading to fr jones for most of my gear at some point.

 

Thanks

bib and brace are a bit marmite tbh.

personally i dont like them. depends on what the job is your taking on if they are appropriate.

What is it exactly you like about bib and brace?

 

Can't help you out with references for cheaper trousers, but will say you get what you pay for. For the past few years I have only used Steins and Pfanners, both great trousers, Stein being the cheaper of the 2.

I wear bib trousers when I'm in the workshop and quite like the extra front and also pockets. I do a lot of carving with things propped against my chest so the extra padding helps there.

 

I'm being swayed by some arbortec right now.

I have had stihl bib and brace and I found that because they dont seal at the waist like normal trousers for anything but cutting logs they get full of shavings. I also have the stihl cheapo type a they are hard wearing and cheap, the cut of the pockets is not great as they fill with shavings. I will buy the cheap stihl trousers again. I use the sip type c trousers, the basic ones, I think they're great. You can spend hundreds on a pair of trousers and ruin them in one barbed wire fence.
