  1. My first pair of trouser i bought where type a's but since i was on the college course i had to go out and get a set of c's. ive never worn thise a's, but for piece of mind ive carried on wearing my c's in anything i do. They can get hot in the summer but extra water breaks i just carry on. I know the class 2 type c's are even warmer so for piece of mind and being comfortable in what ur used to id stick with the class 1 type c trousers. Also im sure u can get type c's with extra venterlation, but ive always stayed with the stihl's and never had a problem
