I have been wearing Arbortec Breatheflex pants for 7 years now working in various forestry settings on the Westcoast of British Columbia as a Climber and Faller, and have put multiple sets of Arbortec pants through some serious testing. With the release of these vented pants I really think Arbortec has perfected the saw pant by combining practicality and durability, with comfort and breathability.
With the obvious upgrade being the large vents built in to the legs and hips, I want to point out other upgrades I didn't expect when I first received these pants.
The first being the elimination of the lower zippered pockets, with both being replaced by a large velcro flap pocket on the left side that I absolutely love. I have struggled to reach my hand into the pockets of the Breatheflex Pros but this issue has been dealt with by the addition of the larger pocket.
Another upgrade that I noticed right away was that the main pockets are much deeper, and the material in the pockets seems much thicker and less likely to rip over time. That paired with a larger flap over the zipper makes for a significant upgrade over previous models.
Finally I want to point out that these pants are a much more relaxed fit compared to the Breatheflex Pros. I wear a size small/reg and these vented pants fit more like a medium pant with more room around the cuffs for larger boots and less tight around the thighs. I much prefer this fit as I fell it is less restricting and adds a level of comfort.
Overall I can not recommend these pants enough for the serious Arborist that wants a comfortable set of pants that come with built in air conditioning for those hotter days. These will be my go-to pants, atleast until the snow flies.

I would buy them again. And again.
Working as an arborist since 2005. Had a lot of different pants. But never so comfortable ones! During the testing at home my wife mentioned: „…will you sleep in them? You wear them as if they were a pijama…“ One of these peaces that you put on - and forget the price. :-)

I ordered a pair of Arbortec Kayo Boots a few weeks ago. Delivery was quick and they are by far the best chainsaw boots I have owned. Will be getting them again next time!👍🏼
