Available in 3 sizes- short 35”, regular 37”, and long 40”, and also in 3 different colours, the Forester chainsaw trousers are also waterproof and oil resistant, which is important because some oil and chemicals can damage the inner safety fibres in these kinds of pants and leave them not as effective, so it’s good to have that protective outer layer. One thing I did like about this product is the breathability of them. Even though it wasn’t a particularly hot day when I wore them it certainly wasn’t cold and I soon worked up enough body heat to be thankful that they didn’t add to my rising body temperature.

So, for things like chopping firewood they are perfectly fine, but if you plan to get up on a ladder to take out some overhanging branches, you would be better off with something that offers more all-round protection due to the increased risk of injury. Fuel, Oil, and Heat Resistant: The Oregon Yukon chainsaw trousers are resistance to fuel and oil. Heat resistance can also be crucial, especially when working near hot equipment or in warm weather. Lightweight and Comfortable: Chainsaw trousers need to be comfortable for users who may spend extended periods working with heavy equipment. Lightweight materials can reduce fatigue during long hours of use.

Saying that, even after adjusting the waist on my pair, I still felt that the crotch hung down a little bit too far for my liking. This is the problem with universal, one size fits all style of chainsaw trousers- there are just too many body sizes and shapes out there so you are going to get some discomfort for some people, somewhere along the line. The outer material is made of 100% polyester and is resistant to the usual culprits such as water, oil, and abrasion. This material is also nicely breathable. Product 1: Shields the front and left sides of both legs during chainsaw and wood cutting work. Oil, fuel and heat resistant

Before we get into the review of the Oregon 295397 Type C chainsaw trousers there are two crucial stats on these. Firstly as I just alluded to, these are type C and they are class 1 so you can rely on them up to 20 m/s chainsaw protection. They are without question, the top type c chainsaw trousers available in the UK unless you want to spend an arm and a leg on professional arborist trousers!Rocwood have given these chainsaw trousers 9 layers of protective material to keep legs safe, and I was pleased that although these are type-A trousers, the padding covers not only the front and sides, but also arches round further than some towards the rear. They are not offering complete protection, but every little extra helps. The affairs, business and property of the Company are being managed by the Administrators and who act as agents of the Company without personal liability.

Yes, they are chaps but they still cover your legs, or at least a good portion of them, so for the sake of argument, they are now chainsaw trousers, and for the money they are a good pair too. The braces are also adjustable so if you are a bit taller than most, you have a little bit of extra length at your disposal. One common problem with chainsaw trousers is that the inside bottoms can often get worn out by rubbing against boots and this can compromise their effectiveness. The makers of these have considered this and have reinforced the trousers in that particular area, so two thumbs up to Husqvarna there.

Top Safety Tips For Hand And Power Tools:

Do not use electric tools in wet conditions unless they are approved for that use. If you must work in wet conditions, always ensure you have good balance and are unlikely to slip. I’m 5ft 10” and a fit 14 stone, and I tried out XL size and I found them to be just about right for me, but I do like to have a bit of room to move in my chainsaw trousers. When in control of a hand or power tool, it is your responsibility to do everything in your power to keep you and the environment safe. That means wearing visors, gloves, goggles with anti-fogging coatings, vented respirators, face masks made of premium cushion materials and ear muffs with soft ear cups.
