Customer Story: The Importance of the Right Footwear
"The chipper got clogged. During the unclogging process, the chute of the chipper fell and smashed my foot. I was wearing the Arbortec Kayos. I truly believe they were the only thing that saved my foot. As a climber, I’m mostly concerned about chaps and chainsaw pants, but in reality, footwear is a major safety concern. Very thankful for my Kayos allowing me to learn from my mistake without having a serious injury."
-Gabriel Sullens, Arborist-

Customer Story: The Importance of Chainsaw Protection
"I used to wear chaps all the time and felt like they were a hassle, so I started cutting without them to save time. Then, one day someone told me to put the chaps on, so I did as I was instructed, and not even 5 minutes later, I cut the chaps. Since then, I’ve switched over to chainsaw pants and no longer ignore the danger of not having chainsaw protection on, as it can happen in just seconds."
-Fabian Ibarra, Arborist-
