CHAINSAW TROUSERS

Chainsaw trousers by engelbert strauss are available in different designs and with a variety of features. What’s important is: For all e.s. chainsaw trousers, the focus is on safety – they therefore provide reliable protection from injuries when working with chainsaws. The e.s.vision cross chaps and dungarees have a special feature: Thanks to new positioning of the cut-resistant insert, the e.s.vision cross provides a larger protection radius and therefore protects from rip saws. In combination with bXeric®, a special elastic and robust material, the insert stretches and ensures unrestricted freedom of movement - for even more safety and comfort when working!

Protective clothing by engelbert strauss for the forestry industry is made from high-quality materials to ensure the highest level of safety. The differences are in the equipment, details and design. Therefore, choosing the right forestry trousers is a matter of taste. From experience, the first question to ask yourself when looking for the right chainsaw trousers is:

This is also a matter of taste and personal comfort. As the protection is incorporated exclusively into the leg area, both types of trousers are suitable for forestry work.

The advantage of trousers with chainsaw protection lies in their flexibility. With the help of braces, chaps can be more comfortable to wear in warm temperatures. These provide an improved level of comfort in the upper body area. A higher waistband protects you from the cold in the winter.

Bib and Braces on the other hand provide additional storage space in the chest area. What’s more, small items can be handily stowed. Thanks to the bib over the chest and back, dungarees are also warmer than chaps. A significant advantage for forestry work in the winter.

In general, protective clothing should be chosen so that it is possible to work unrestricted. At the same time, the clothing should not be too large so that snagging is not possible. Chainsaw trousers by engelbert strauss are available both in regular sizes and in smaller sizes. With the help of the size table, you can find the right size quickly and easily in the online shop.

Trousers with chainsaw protection should not come into contact with pointed or sharp objects (for example, power saw chains, thorns, metal tools, etc.) or with aggressive substances, such as acids, oils, solvents, fuels or animal faeces to avoid damaging the material. Likewise, contact with hot objects (exhausts, etc.) and other heat sources (open fire, hot ovens, etc.) should be avoided – this can impair the chainsaw protection.

Only the upper layer may be repaired in the event of damage. However, never sew through the cut-resistant insert! When changing or repairing safety clothing, (for example, shortening the legs) do not repair, change, shorten or sew through the cut-resistant insert. Any change to the cut-resistant insert may reduce or destroy its protective properties! For repairs and for further instructions on looking after your chainsaw trousers, please refer to the attached instructions for use.

Please remember that complete protection when working with chainsaws is more than a pair of chainsaw trousers: Therefore, your outfit should also include the right footwear and appropriate gloves. Forestry safety shoes, such as S2 Triton forestry safety shoes protect against cuts from hand-operated chainsaws with steel toe caps. The leather forestry cut protection gloves have been tested according to EN 381-7:1999 (cut protection, class 0:16 m/s) and EN 388:2016 (mechanical risks, 2132X). The soft leather guarantees an excellent grip on the chainsaw, the left glove has a special cut protection insert on the back of the hand. Also remember head and face protection when working – the latter protects the eyes from severe injuries from flying sawdust and other bits of wood. engelbert strauss provides forestry protective helmet combinations for this purpose. This is also equipped with ‘2C’ e.s.-certified ear defenders. You will also find many more products to protect your ears from the loud noise of the chainsaw in the hearing protection category.

Why spend a long time looking when it is so simple? The product filters on the chainsaw trousers overview page in the engelbert strauss online shop will help you quickly find the perfect pair: Here you can not only browse products by size, colour and collection, but also by equipment features, such as pockets and ventilation, and material and care features.
