OREGON 295453/S Yukon+ Type A Class 1 (20 m/s) Chainsaw Protective Trousers

Product Information

You may have to pay more than the cheaper or disposable options on the market, but you will be thankful if a near miss or accident occurs and it was your PPE that reduced or avoided the injury. Work Boots Safety-wise these are excellent, with protective padding that covers at least a 180 degree arc across the front and sides of the leg. The tough polysester/cotton twill material provides protection from all the things you would expect-oil, water, etc. and has been safety tested in Europe to make sure that they will stop that chainsaw blade when needed. Wear clothing that fits well. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in a tool’s moving parts, which could result in dire consequences. Chainsaws 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.

Comprised of the same six layer material that their equally excellent Yukon chainsaw trousers are made of, they offer a very good level of protection while still being flexible and easy to move around in. 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.

Reviews

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. 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.

Chainsaw trousers made for use in the domestic market tend to be made of multi-layered polyester or occasionally kevlar. This means that they are durable, but also makes them relatively heavy and hot to wear. That’s why a lot of amateur chainsaw users prefer Type A chainsaw trousers. Even if they’re full trousers (as opposed to chap-style trousers), they’re often more comfortable and cooler. Type-C trousers offer all round protection from cutting and these are the ones you want to use if you are going to be cutting up at heights or at strange angles due to the higher risk of the chainsaw slipping. Full trousers, dungarees or chaps? 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. 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. 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.If you’re looking for something a bit different then Oregon 2-Handed Protection Chainsaw Gloves Large is a great suggestion. Or even Oregon Forestry Helmet with Ear Defenders & Visor Type A chainsaw trousers are generally sufficient for amateur gardening. Essentially, they are intended for static work at ground level, such as trimming bushes and low branches from trees and also cutting up logs. That probably covers everything the average gardener is going to want to do. If, however, you’re planning on undertaking aerial work, such as proper tree surgery, then you really need Type C chainsaw trousers as this is a lot riskier. Chainsaw trouser material
