Type A's

[thetoolnut]

I'm thinking of buying a set of type A's class 2's, I've narrowed it down to either the Stihl X-fit's, the Arbortec breathflex's or the Pfanner Gladiators. Any input on these in relation to durability, fit and comfort would be appreciated.

If your climbing I would look at the pfanner arborist type A's more flexible and lighter weight than the gladiators.

Pfanners for me but not tried anything else recently .

Pfanners by a mile.

1 small issue though and it maybe just me but in the inside leg where the protective material atatches on to the inner thigh material is a ridge/seam that rubs against my leg pulling out hairs-made 10 times worse on hot days.

As i say it may just be me but be warned-it can get right on your tits

I have a set of Stihl hi-flex's for climbing, just need a pair of type A's for firewood, groundwork and as a back up in case my C's get soaked. They take three Days to dry out!

I rate the sip trousers just to throw something else in there

What's wrong with type a hiflex then? If your trying arbortecs they come up high on the back

husqvarna technical extreme. Best trousers I have ever worn and ive worn a few different brands over the years.

Doesn't mean anything though as im sure you're not the same build as me and may be more/less fussy. Get to the APF and try some different pairs on and get your wallet out.

Arbortec for me, can't complain about the quality! My last pair were sip and couldn't complain about them either

Not a big fan of the hiflex climbing trousers I have and they don't do a set of type A's in a class 2. I'm leaning towards the x-fits but unsure whether to go for the large or extra large in long leg. I'm a 36" waist and I like a loose fit.
