Description

A pair of specialist trousers designed to protect the wearer from chain saw injury during tree work. The Breatheflex Pro trousers make use of high tenacity polymer to ensure good protection with flexibility to manoeuvre around the job site and tree canopy. The trousers feature a resilient and abrasion resistant panel on the front and ankles. The material is woven with Kevlar fibres which make it extremely tough when getting bashed and scraped on trees. These fibres will also protect the body from chainsaw damage by being drawn into the drive sprocket of the saw, which blocks the chain movement. The fibres are resistant to cutting and absorb rotational energy reducing the chainsaw speed. The crotch is made with Kevlar to eliminate ripping and a stretchy fabric that allows good movement and flexibility in the tree. These trousers feature an adjustable waistband, kidney pad on the back for braces, elasticated hooks at the base of the trousers to attach to laces of boots, and zipped pockets with taped seams. These are design C trousers with protection to the front and back of the legs only and the protection is rated to Class 1.
