Chainsaw pants???

[Stihlproincky]

Hi guys, just wondering what chainsaw pants you're wearing. Looking for comfortable, durable and functional pants, considering clogger, arbortec, arborwear, pfanner or ? Any experience or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

@Philbert has a good thread about pants/chaps. I really like my clogger defenders. Fit very well, not hot Like wrap chaps. Only complaint is there's no back pocket. (I have the gen 1 FWIW)

I'm looking for pants as well. I am 6'5" so everything I have tried are severe flood pants. Any tall guys out there have any suggestions?

Find a pant you like and go to the manufacturers website, they should have tall sizes.

Tall 6'4'' here as well. I may be partial to Stihl's, but even on their website they aren't long enough. Add my closest dealer is more of a seller than an advisor. (Just wear Carhart's they say) I have watched the Stihl videos on chap performance when they come in contact with a chain. Impressive.

I'm open to comments and suggestions too...

I'm 6'1" and I'm currently using the 36" Echo chaps, and they're a hair too short for my liking. In hindsight I would've gone with the 40" chaps, not even sure if those would be long enough for you really tall guys out there though

Dang, do you not have a torso?

I think it's the other way around, I wear 32x32 jeans, I just prefer the top of my chaps to be a touch above my waistline. I've got a pic of what my friends 32" Stihl chaps look like on me (had to borrow his because I forgot mine, FWIW he’s 5’6) and they look comedically short on me

Found the pic for reference to appropriate chap length to height. Here’s what the 32” Stihl chaps look like on me (6’1 in my work boots)

Gotta protect the family jewels and the guts to do this job

Thought I asked about chainsaw pants?

As far as chaps go I like my clogger zeros, had stihls and their alot hotter vs the zeros.

The fact that I’m hunched over doesn’t help lol

I like my Echo chaps a lot for hotter weather. Never used pants so I’d have no idea about those

Man that sucks, have a accident?

Nah, I just tend to bend over like that when I’m cutting below waist level. I’ve accumulated some pretty good sized scars over the years, fortunately I’ve never came close to a chainsaw accident yet, don’t plan on it either.

Yes, I found this out as well. Seems odd to me that the “sites” that have everything else won’t carry the tall versions but it’s the world we live in I guess. SMH, most tree dudes are ill proportioned in one way or another and they still only offer the cookie cutter size that barely anyone fits and still charge an arm and a leg. I know I’m a crying shame, lol!

Yes you're right, I'm 6,2' so it's hard to find stuff local that fits. Best to go to the manufacturer.

Also another thing it's better to have them a little long than a little short.
I wear chainsaw boots so I've got a little more protection, but still they need to go to the top of your boots. I needed 42" btw.
