Husqvarna Functional 24 Chainsaw Trousers

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:07:00 GMT

Just when these trousers were starting to become popular Husqvarna went and dropped the ball and ran out of stock of Chainsaw Trousers, D'oh. There was a manufacturing issue and we were on back order for one or another of the Husqvarna Chainsaw Trousers that we stock for a year or more. We are now back to full stock levels but demand for these trousers has, as you might expect, fallen off a cliff, which is a shame because they are really good pair of trousers and they suited a lot of arborists.

They are lightweight and made with durable material. The design (I suppose you'd call it 'the cut' if you were buying a suit) is really good and they are made with a 4 way stretch material keeping you comfy. So although they're not everyone's favourite looking trousers they are a really good fit and great to work in. So you might not be the best look arborist, but you’re going to be comfortable and flexible while you work.

Functional 24: Class 2 Protection

On top of the comfort and durability benefits the Functional 24 Chainsaw Trousers have 24 m/s protection (can you see what they did there). So they have class 2 protection. There are no marketing gimmicks or inventive names and they don’t look like you turned up to work in a pair of biker leathers. They are functional trousers that offer 24 m/s cut protection so Husqvarna named them Functional 24. A kind of 'does what is says on the tin' pair of chainsaw trousers.

So if you would rather not pay for clever marketing and just get a great pair of chainsaw trousers that will fit nicely (instead of the super snug fit of some trousers) then the Husqvarna range is one your could re-consider. Buxtons stock Husqvarna Functional 24 Chainsaw Trousers and other Husqvarna Chainsaw Trousers ready for next day delivery.

SIP Protection: Excellence in Chainsaw Protective Clothing

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:33:00 GMT

SIP has been investing in development, design and production of protective clothing for chain saw users for over 25 years. In this time they have developed and improved on a huge range of chainsaw clothing. In recent years they have joined SIOEN Industries group and support for product development and innovations increased heavily, creating a great range of chainsaw trousers and other chainsaw protective clothes.

SIP Protective Clothing: Innovation by Design

This investment in design and development of chainsaw protective clothing has borne fruit by way of a number of firsts for SIP protection. They were the first to reduce the number of layers of protection to 6 which provided lighter, less bulky, cooler trousers. They were the first with a flexible outer giving more freedom and comfort. They were the first to achieve class 1 protection with 5 layers of protection and they were the first to produce class 2 garments with only 6 layers.

Stihl HiFlex Chainsaw Trousers: Now Available in Type A

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:03:00 GMT

Despite Stihl bringing out the X-Fit clothing range earlier this year, HiFlex is still our most popular chainsaw protective clothing range. And the HiFlex clothing range has had two new additions this year with Type A Chainsaw trousers and Type C Class 2 chainsaw trousers being added.

Many experienced tree surgeons seem to be turning to Type A over Type C work trousers, so Stihl bringing out Hiflex Type A is great news. These chainsaw trousers have the same great look as the Type C but with no rear padding they are going to be cooler in summer and that bit more flexible.

The addition of new Class 2 Chainsaw Trousers is also welcomed by Arborists with faster running chainsaws. If your saw runs faster than 20 m/s then these Class 2 HiFlex Chainsaw Trousers are a great option. They have the same great HiFlex Design and feel with that extra class 2 chainsaw protection.
