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

Product Information

The elasticated waist is helpful for keeping sawdust out of your underwear and so it tends to get trapped behind the bib instead. This is much more preferable for me as I could just slip the braces off my shoulder and empty it out in seconds.

There is a long list of brands that excel in specific tools, but don’t do so well with others. One company that is fantastic across the board is Screwfix. All together there are 5 layers to these trousers which is more than you usually see with this kind of lower cost product. These extra layers means that the material can be lighter while still offering good protection, and this adds to how comfortable they are to wear. Having tools with excellent durability is extremely important. Not only will it mean you will not have to spend out on replacement tools when they break prematurely, but because tougher tools will do a better job. Sometimes cheaper ones can appear to work great until wear and damage suddenly make them unusable, and you are left unable to complete your task. This will lead to an extended work period as you will have to go out and buy a replacement. If you use that tool as part of your profession, it could mean the difference between hitting your deadline or not. No matter what kind of job you have or how you’re using the equipment, make sure your tools can stand up to the task in the first place. Type C Chainsaw Trousers are essential for anyone who regularly uses a chainsaw, whether it be for work or leisure purposes. The extra keprotec reinforcement on the front side and inside leg area of the trousers gives full protection to the whole of the leg. In addition to this, the inside lining of the trousers are made of high quality functional fibres to ensure that there is no way of you injuring yourself.If you’re new to using chainsaws and wearing chainsaw trousers, you might need a little bit if help understanding what you should be looking for in a good pair. Fear not, as this helpful guide will fill some of blanks for you. Let’s begin. The difference between Type A and Type C chainsaw trousers

The classes indicate the maximum speed at which the chainsaw trousers are effective. Class 1 chainsaw trousers work up to 20m/s. Class 2 chainsaw trousers up to 24m/s and Class 3 chainsaw trousers up to 28m/s. Precise measurement is an important step in ensuring that you get chaps that are the right size. If chaps are too short, your legs could be exposed. Chaps that are too long, however, are also unsafe since they could cause you to trip. Saying that, even after adjusting the waist on my pair, I still felt that the crotch hung down a little bit too far for my liking. This is the problem with universal, one size fits all style of chainsaw trousers- there are just too many body sizes and shapes out there so you are going to get some discomfort for some people, somewhere along the line.Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user. Type-A trousers only have the protective material padded around the front and sides of the leg. There are pros and cons to this. On one hand it makes them lighter and more comfortable, but on the other it leaves your legs vulnerable to the rear. This is why type-A chainsaw trousers are only really for use while you are on stable ground.

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. 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. Before we get into the review of the Oregon 295397 Type C chainsaw trousers there are two crucial stats on these. Firstly as I just alluded to, these are type C and they are class 1 so you can rely on them up to 20 m/s chainsaw protection. They are without question, the top type c chainsaw trousers available in the UK unless you want to spend an arm and a leg on professional arborist trousers!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. While some would argue that these chaps should not be technically called trousers, I have decided to group them all in together because- Being chaps, they of course give you the convenience of being able to take them on and off easily by releasing the four rear straps that can also be adjusted, along with the waist strap, for a perfect fit.
