For such a big industry there are only limited number of cut-proof pants that I have been able to locate locally,what are the brands, places and people that deal with such?

Draggin' Jeans motorcycle wear. Kevlar in the Bum and knees. I wonder if it could be shifted around for chainsaw work.

YouTube - Draggin Jeans: Product Test. MUST SEE.

Yes i am also looking for some different brands of chainsaw pants. as far as i can tell in australia there are only a couple of basic pairs available the sthil husky abd clogger (not sure about in the US) and only a small range of them. It seems there are a range of pants in europe, mainly the UK such as SIP and Stretch Air. expensive though. If you hear of any supplyers in australia i would like to hear about it. Also i am interested in the husky, sthil or clogger climbing pants. Has any one tried any of them Which are best?

i wear the stihls and they are comfy but i find the outside fabric holes really easily so there is lots of stitching on a nighttime and keep cigaretes away from them HO cigarette ash fell on my leg and left a 3/4 hole.

I wear the Sthils also. Very comfortable, but the do burn pretty easy, especially when starting your chainsaw and the exhaust touches them. There water proof too, and breathable.

Old TrevMc rev has the new Husky slacks, very impressive to look at and seem very comfy. Apparently they heat up a little quicker than the standard sthill slack and come at a much heavier price tag.

Hey Hilli, are those the ones with the stripes? You know... Stripes make ya go faster

Bought 3 pairs of stihl 2 years ago. Ready to buy another 3 pairs cos the wife washed the old ones in hot water and the waistline shrank....... Because I couldn't possibly be getting fatter.....

Photo attached is why I wear them.
