Understand the main differences between Arbortec Trousers
Difference between Breatheflex Women's and Men's chainsaw trousers fitting:
When it comes to the fit of our women’s chainsaw trousers, there are some key differences compared to our men’s range. In the standard Breatheflex Women’s trousers, the rise is shorter, meaning they sit lower on the waist for a more flattering fit. The leg is also more tapered and narrower from the thigh down, and the leg length is 3 centimetres shorter than the men's regular version.
The hips are cut wider to suit female shaping, while the waist is similar in smaller sizes but becomes narrower from size M upwards to follow the natural female form.
Breatheflex Pro Women’s Fit
The Breatheflex Pro Women’s trousers are tailored specifically for a high-performance fit. They sit higher on the natural waistline for added comfort and security, with defined shaping through the hips and a narrower waist profile. This design offers a more ergonomic and supportive fit that moves with the body while maintaining a streamlined silhouette.
Difference between the Breatheflex and the Breatheflex Pro trousers fitting:
While both trousers share identical leg length and waist width, the Breatheflex Pro offers a sleeker silhouette with a slimmer thigh that tapers down to the ankle.
This results in an overall narrower leg, coupled with a lower rise that rests comfortably on the lower waist. One of the standout features of the Breatheflex Pro is its improved fit, as the reduced fabric around the thigh to ankle area and lower positioning on the waist prevent any excess fabric in the crotch area. This results in a polished, modern fit that combines style and functionality seamlessly.
Difference between the Breatheflex Pro and the Freestyle trousers fitting:
The difference between our Breatheflex Pro trousers and Freestyle lies in their unique characteristics. Both styles share a comparable rise, sitting comfortably on the lower waist. However, the Freestyle trousers stand out with their distinct feature of offering more room around the thighs.
The rest of the leg on the Freestyle shows a slimmer profile, the combination of a spacious thigh area and a sleeker leg summarises the essence of the Freestyle trousers, blending comfort and contemporary design.

Low Socks
Low socks are ankle-height socks that sit just above the shoe line. They are ideal for everyday wear and casual work environments.
