As a general guide though sizes 48-52 are about medium 54-56 are large, and 58 to 60+ are extra-large. If you have a 35 inch waist like me you should go for a size 58 if you want to wear these over some jeans. In conclusion, if you have the extra few quid to spare, I would go with these trousers every day of the week. However, if you are on a tighter budget or just don’t use chainsaws enough to warrant paying a hundred quid, any of the other, cheaper products would more than suffice.

Type-A trousers only have the protective material padded around the front and sides of the leg. There are pros and cons to this. On one hand it makes them lighter and more comfortable, but on the other it leaves your legs vulnerable to the rear. This is why type-A chainsaw trousers are only really for use while you are on stable ground. At 1.27kg these chaps are light enough so as not to bother you or restrict movement too much and you won’t feel like you’re wearing something that wasn’t meant to be worked in, which I often feel about low cost protective clothing. Product 1: Protects the wearer from cuts and debris, certified to EN ISO 11393:2 class 1 professional safety standardsChainsaws are very effective at doing what they are intended to do, but our common problem is that they are quite dangerous. Every year, hundreds of people who work with chainsaws are injured by them and often the wounds are on the legs and caused by the operator dropping the chainsaw or slicing through the target too far and fast and that’s where chainsaw trousers come in. Many bargain footwear suppliers offer work boots for a fantastic price. But these are often not steel toe capped, do not have anti-fatigue soles and won’t protect your feet against liquids or extreme heat. In fact, some boots that look the part may as well be a pair of sandals if a hammer or power tool was to drop on your foot. First of all, many well-known brand names tend to boast about their flagship tools in television, trade magazines and online ads. They tend to make the harder jobs look extremely simple when using their specific brand. Of course, the basis of this is to help sell their product. So is this a realistic representation of what the tool can do for you, especially if you’re just starting out? The answer is no. Different skill levels and experience has a significant factor in the effectiveness of a tool, as well as other things. At less than a kilogram in weight, you hardly feel like you are wearing these chainsaw trousers at all and the padded protection covers all of the front and sides of the leg well and they would cover even the widest of thighs easily. All together there are 5 layers to these trousers which is more than you usually see with this kind of lower cost product. These extra layers means that the material can be lighter while still offering good protection, and this adds to how comfortable they are to wear.

Being chaps, they of course give you the convenience of being able to take them on and off easily by releasing the four rear straps that can also be adjusted, along with the waist strap, for a perfect fit. While some would argue that these chaps should not be technically called trousers, I have decided to group them all in together because- These are very comfortable chainsaw trousers. The two way stretch polyester material, along with the light weight, makes it nice and easy to move around in them. I was wearing them for a whole day while testing and I appreciated the comfort and manoeuvrability they afford.Husqvarna are a trusted name in this industry and for good reason. They have years of expertise when it comes to making protective clothing for forestry and can be relied upon to always deliver outstanding quality. These chainsaw trousers are no different, with a level of workmanship that is hard to beat.
