For protective clothing for woodland and forestry work, particular focus is on maximum freedom of movement through flexible fabric, comfortable waistband solutions and elastic inserts. So that the durability of these products is also guaranteed in addition to wear comfort and design, protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Please remember that complete protection when working with chainsaws is more than a pair of chainsaw trousers: Therefore, your outfit should also include the right footwear and appropriate gloves.
Forestry safety shoes, such as S2 Alpine forestry safety shoes protect against cuts from hand-operated chainsaws with steel toe caps. The soft leather guarantees an excellent grip on the chainsaw, the left glove has a special cut protection insert on the back of the hand. Also remember head and face protection when working — the latter protects the eyes from severe injuries from flying sawdust and other bits of wood. You will also find many more products to protect your ears from the loud noise of the chainsaw in the hearing protection category.

The slow motion video shows you how clogging works. Please keep in mind that your wash and care routine is of major importance to your own safety. In addition, the DWR finish or durable water repellent finish, is also very important when it comes to your protection while operating a chainsaw. The impact of oil and fuel on the fibres could on the long term affect the resistance of the fibres. This can be prevented by a good DWR finish, slowing down the contact of oil and fuel with the fibres.
The principle of chain slipping can be found on safety boots with steel toe caps. The saw chain will cut through a composite toe cap, but not through a steel toe cap. When touching the steel toe cap, the saw chain will slip off the material. All of our SIP Protection chainsaw protective boots have steel toe caps that provide optimal protection.
In some rubber boots, the principle of chain braking is applied. Between the visible outer layer and the lining, this clothing has several layers of a special fabric consisting of millions of tiny, yet strong, threads. Their purpose is to clog up the saw chain and rim sprocket as fast as possible, causing the chain and motor to stop immediately.
An unintentional cut to the leg can be done in many ways. Because of that, there are several layers of this special fabric, ensuring that even the worst cut will never reach to the lining. Depending on where you work in the world there seem to be different traditions favoring chaps or trousers.
Modern chainsaw pants are definitely more comfortable than chainsaw chaps. There are no straps which rub, or that will get snagged on branches or machinery and no bulky heavy flaps of material that get in the way and restrict movement.
Modern pants will be lighter overall than chaps worn over the top of standard jeans or work pants. The old idea that hot means safer is no longer true. Innovation in chainsaw fabric, the use of technical fabrics and new construction techniques means that lighter and cooler can actually be safer. Making chainsaw pants part of the uniform means that you no longer have to worry about employees using chainsaws without protection. This is the biggest reason for most people and companies making the switch to pants.
Investing in chainsaw pants makes a big statement about the importance of safety. Chaps have a higher risk profile. Wearing them without all the straps properly fitted and attached can result in the chap rotating causing injury. There is also a risk of chaps being worn while chipping.
Finally, there is the risk of a worker taking the chance on a cut because it is too far to go back to the truck for the chaps. The difference between buying a good pair of work pants and chaps is not that much less than chainsaw pants. There are also chainsaw pants designed for ground workers that are lower cost.
If you average the cost difference over a year, is the cost increase meaningful? Especially if you consider the productivity losses resulting from having to take the chaps on and off. This equates to 1 hour per week or 52 hours per year.
The extra cost of 2 pairs of good quality pants have well and truly paid for themselves. Ownership is another factor. Chaps are a shared responsibility and often are treated poorly. The result is a shorter life with a higher annual cost with more replacements needed. This question applies equally to both chaps or pants. This fabric is used in both our chaps and pants. Arrestex HP, with its dual function performance, overcomes this difficulty.
Just as there is a huge range of gas-powered saws of widely varying power levels, running different chain sizes on different bar sizes, there is also a growing range of electric saws with different voltages and consequently torque levels.
No one is going to test garments using every available option which is why a national standard has been adopted by various countries using one very specific test method. The current standard for North America, ASTM F, or that for Europe, EN, have been in place for many years and products that comply to these standards have prevented many injuries. It is important to note that any product that meets a standard does not purport to guarantee prevention of injury but rather to reduce the risk of injury.
