Lavaro is from Portugal I wonder if they make Strein

Surely the heat in trousers is relative to the ammount of air that is trapped in the layers of protection. The lower number of layers (presuming they conform) means the cooler the trousers, maybe the weave makes a difference too

Firstly I reckon that video was put there for commercial reason as both boots are easy to identify. I dont like people scare mongering to make money. Secondly on a technical note. A chainsaw boot is based on a standard EN345 safety boot with added chainsaw protection. To comply with EN£$% a boot must have a toe cap wwhich will withstand 200 joule impact. In the natural development of normal safety boots composite caps are a good ise. They are spark resistant, possible slightly lighter, and do not conduct cold from the ground. the unfortunate thing is that no-one realised that you can cut through plastic with a saw. Chainsaw boot with plastic caps actually do still conform to the requirements of the EN standard. I know that HSE were made aware of this 2 years ago but as they conformed they buried their heads in the sand. I am also aware that 1 mnaufacturer has now extended the protetcion over the composite cap which may solve the problem on their boots. However, my advice would be to stick to old fashioned, tries tested and proven steel caps and give yourslef 1 less worry in life

Its a pity dealers dont give you this tip when they sell you the boots. Replacement insoles are available too which should keep your feet fresh as a daisy for the life of the boot

Haix boots all have have a climate system inside which lets the feet breath and wicks moisture out, but dont forget the system only works if the insole is clean. Take it out to ait every time you take them off and wash the insolde every couple of months
