Arbortec Breatheflex Chainsaw Protective Pants
SPECIAL ORDER ~4 Weeks
Arbortec Breatheflex chainsaw pants have been designed with the arborists and foresters in mind. Lightweight, comfortable, and breathable as possible, whilst retaining good abrasion resistance are the most important points.
Everything comes down to the weight and performance of the pants with high tenacity polymer and Kevlar®. The crotch is made with Kevlar® to eliminate ripping and incredibly stretchy fabric that allows for the ultimate amount of movement and flexibility in the tree.
The pants' outer shell is made from Climasphere breathable fabrics which are also highly abrasion and snag resistant (a must for tree climbers) and the six-way stretch feature makes for the most comfortable forestry chainsaw pants on the market.
