Saw pants

[skindaddy]

Hope this is in the right spot.
anyone have a brand or model on the lighter weight safety saw pants, if you use them? I am thinking if I got some of these fancy light weight pants I would wear them. Like many I don't wear chaps because of the bulk and stiffness.
Use would be for personal cutting of firewood

Echo has pants. Echo pants.

I hate chaps with a vengeance- not for the reasons you mention, but a heap of other ones.
Clogger (manufactured a few miles down the road from me) make an EXCELLENT range and different grade and weight trousers, just released a Demin look range and have everything from climbers trousers to loggers and even flameproof and nonconductive.
I own several pair from various other manufactures, saw company branded stuff, Winter weight Stihl trousers, various Clogger- but prefer the Arcmax and some Husqvarna Technical that are probably my favourite at the moment.
Usually the lighter the items is- the lesser protection is rated. Like class 2 for climbers pants and class 4 for loggers pants, climber pants are lighter, more giving and more flexible at the forfeiture of strong protection.
Just remember, safety pants help, but are not idiot proof. Many a bomb disposal crew member has been wearing the suit, but killed by the bomb.

Yep, another vote for clogger pants for when its warm. have the arbormax ascend and the general pants as well.
use the husky pants in winter, and when its warmer, cloggers for the win.

I like pfanner. You need to try some on.

Labonville makes summer pants that you snap the cut resistant inserts into or use your own modified pants. They looked nice the few times I looked at them.

Clogger zero in summer
Husqvarna tech pants in winter
Worth every penny

I like the concept of the Madsens snap in jeans (along with the Labonville snap in chaps) though the jean material is on the thinner/weaker side.

As well, they need at least one if not two more snaps for security. I've had the chaps fall out a couple times, especially when working on steep inclines.


It's a shame they don't contract with Carrhart and use their super thick, fire resistant jean material.

Any feedback on Bailey's brand? WoodlandPRO Arborist Chainsaw Protection Pants (Hi-Vis)?

Clogger Zero’s. Comfy enough to keep em on for evening beers after a day of cutting.

I just wear long underwear under em in the winter.

I have Forester brand chaps I think and should wear them as stumbly as I am but they're not very comfortable and hard to walk in.
