    So Nick you say you're gonna wear a US version safety pants and then drop a WOT saw into your leg? What chainsaw model and what is the TCS rating of your pants?

    Speaking of tough standards check out B.C., Canada. Every arborist and logger [landscapers and others might apply to] has to have a TCS rating label on their safety pants, no label or is not readable the operator can be fined, saw locked out and sent home. Minimum standard is 3600 fpm.

    From seeing a pair my head instructor has the Phanners are good for 4100 threshold chain speed so protection is good. The key to having a "breathable" safety pant is the fabric on the rear of the leg. Both Stihl and Husqvarna pants have that kind of fabric where daylight can be seen through...

    I wish I had that today Chris, this afternoon it was -4F with a damp wind making me turn down a big poplar climb removal job and longing for spring weather. Just gonna stay on the ground until it warms up a bit. Speaking of safety pants that's all I've worn all my working days, only keep a pair...

    I had to come back to this thread now that my mind is clearer and had some time to think about it. Referring back to the blow out previously in this thread , I have to say the internet and google are wonderful learning aid but "a lot" of information on it is as new as the internet is it self. A...

    Fi, it's hard to tell how high in inchs these pant's kidney flap is from the upward angle of that photo, but from experience all the pants I owned with the high back were between 3" to 4". I remember you saying a while back you were having some lower back problems, well you might want to give...

    Those high backs go from 3" to 4" above the waist. My Husqvarna pants are 4". Plenty to "comfort" your lower back. Website information? The features manufacturers advertise gets lost in the translation over the years now its usually just referred as "comfort", Its the veteran endusers like Stig...

    Well Nick I guess you can't think of anything. Take a look at the forestry grade cutters pants from Stihl and Husqvarna for example with their high backs. I've worn these pants for years and and can say I've had fewer lower back injuries while logging and doing treework because I was keeping...

    The high back offers protection for the lower back keeping the muscles warmed up which helps reduce lower back problems. Also when the suspenders are attached to it there is less stress on the lower vertebrae at the waist. I even heard the kidneys benifit from the high back coverage also.

    Look good, high chainspeed protection, don't have to worry about sawdust in the pockets with the zippers and flaps. Slim fitting for climbing wearing a saddle. High back for lower back and kidneys. May be hot in summer.
