Arbortec Mid Range Type A Chainsaw Trousers

The Arbortec Mid-Range Type A Chainsaw Trousers are a practical, hard-wearing choice for trainee and professional arborists, tree surgeons and commercial ground-care teams. Designed for climbing, aerial tree work and demanding daily chainsaw tasks, they combine certified front-leg protection with the mobility and comfort needed when working across varied sites.

When climbing, kneeling, clearing brash or moving around a busy work site, freedom of movement matters. These trousers feature a breathable bi-stretch crotch panel to support unrestricted movement during physical work. An elasticated waistband, extra-wide belt loops and high-raised kidney panel provide a secure, comfortable fit while helping to shield against draughts and debris during long days outdoors.

With Design A protection to the front of the legs, these chainsaw trousers are particularly suited to climbers and aerial workers where all-round leg protection is not required. They are certified to Class 1 protection for chain speeds of up to 20 m/s, giving professional users dependable PPE for routine chainsaw operations.
