What PPE for occasional use?

I'm about to buy myself a husky 135 and need to get trousers and boots to go with it. As I'm not a pro, just working in the woods once or twice a week, my budget isn't big. I'm also struggling to understand matching trousers to saw (m/s saw speed to class 1 class 2 trousers etc.) Can anyone help with what class torusers and boots I'll need and where to buy? Thanks all :biggrin:

Just to clarify my confusion on maximum chain speed for the 135 is that Husqavarna have it listed as 17.1m/s and f r jones say 22.9 m/s. So if husky site is correct thats class 1 trousers and if jones is correct then it would be class 2. I guess jones have it wrong?

The cheapest option would probably be huskh wellies, not very comfortable though!

Thanks foureyes - thats what I was thinking. I reckon I'd rather stretch to more like £100ish and get something that would be more comfy. I don't fancy working in the wood in July and August wearing those wellies - could be the worst fifty quid I've ever saved :laugh1:
