AT4185 Arborflex Pro Skins – Limette

Excellent choice and my new favorites for chaps. The option to swap out skins onto one set of saw chaps makes getting new pants half the normal price and for a lighter pair on hot days. I would give five stars, however I’ve noticed a small change and drop in the more recent manufacturing. Unlike the original iterations, the inner waistband velcro to match with the accompanying chaps is not sewn into my new pro skins. Also, the earlier, more visually appealing “Arborflex” side leg logo has been replaced by “Arbortec” stitching. Not the biggest downer, but would be cool to see that come back when they make new stock of the ones in my size again. I’m on my third pair now and happy with them otherwise. A phone pocket would be nice, ultimately not a deal breaker, however.

After Looking at these pants online for a long time, I finally decided to give these a try. I love the design, color, the vents in the back and the fact that they can also be chainsaw pants. The only thing with making them chainsaw pants is your spending the same amount of money for an insert and in the end, essentially spending 500 bucks on a pair a chainsaw pants. Yikes... When I wore them the first time the fit was great but noticed they were not quite long enough. The Long size is not long enough for long legged people. Also the bungee thing going on at the bottom of the pants is super annoying. I thought it would be a good idea for keeping sawdust out of my boots but they just ride up and would rather have NO elastic on bottom. Last but not least is NO PHONE POCKET. I did look at the pictures and didnt really see one so thats on me, but for the amount of money I spent on these and most other arborist pants have a phone pocket as well. If they were a touch longer, No elastic on bottom, and a phone pocket I would hands down give these 5 stars and then also buy the Purple version of these pants.
