Type C Chainsaw Trousers

Type C chainsaw trousers, also known as Design C, carry cut protection around the front and back of both legs. That all-round coverage makes them the natural choice for climbing arborists and anyone working at height, where a saw can make contact from any angle. Choose from Breatheflex, Breatheflex Pro and Freestyle styles in men's and women's fits, and a wide range of colours to suit how you live the Tree Life.
