Description
Arborflex Base C delivers Class 1 full-leg cut protection with a flexible, lightweight base layer — the protective core for all Arborflex Skin trousers.
Arborflex Base C Chainsaw Base Layer – Core Protection Layer
The Arborflex Base C layer offers all-round chainsaw protection and serves as the core protective component for the Arborflex Skins trouser system. These Arborflex Base C trousers provide Class 1, Design C protection — covering both front and back of the legs — ideal for users who want maximum safety combined with flexibility. Because the base layer is lightweight and highly stretchable, it supports comfortable movement and versatility on site.
Full-Leg Cut Protection & Multi-Purpose Use
This base layer is certified to Class 1 (20 m/s) under EN 381-5 and EN ISO 13688 standards, using a multi-layer chainsaw-blocking system that offers all-round leg protection. Therefore, when combined with any compatible Arborflex Skin, it turns the outer shell into a fully compliant chainsaw trouser. This modular system gives you flexibility to adapt to different tasks by changing the outer skin while retaining the protective core.
Comfort, Stretch and Movement Built In
The Arborflex Base C uses high-quality stretch fabrics to allow freedom of movement — whether climbing, bending, or kneeling. The internal “flex top” shorts design adds moisture-wicking comfort and reduces bulk under outer skins. As a result, wearers retain agility and endurance even during extended forestry sessions. Additionally, ankle areas feature reinforced lining to resist wear from boot lace hooks.
Durable Construction and Smart Design
The protective insert is lightweight yet strong, balancing protection and wearability. Reinforcements around stress zones help extend lifespan under regular use. Because the base layer is designed to work with a variety of outer skins, it offers long-term value and flexibility: you can pack one base and swap the outer skin depending on the job or conditions.
