Description
Pfanner Arborist Chainsaw Trousers offer Class 1 front-leg cut protection with reinforced panels, stretch mobility and ventilation — ideal for arborists working at height.
Pfanner Arborist Type-A Chainsaw Trousers
The Pfanner Arborist Type-A Chainsaw Trousers deliver high-level protection and flexibility for arborists and forestry professionals working at height. The trousers combine cut-resistant materials with ergonomic design and comfort features to support demanding tree work and ground operations alike. As a result, they remain a popular choice among arborists who require reliable safety and freedom of movement.
Advanced Cut Protection & Reinforced Construction
The trousers use cut-protective fabric rated to Class 1 (20 m/s) under EN 381-5, providing reliable protection to the front and inner leg areas. Reinforced panels—branded as Gladiator® Extreme/Keprotec®—cover the front and inside of legs, giving extra strength especially when using climbing spikes or navigating rough terrain. Removable gaiters and preformed, tear-proof knee reinforcements add durability in high-stress zones, enhancing longevity under frequent use.
Mobility, Comfort and Breathability for Arborist Work
Pfanner’s StretchAIR® and KlimaAIR® technologies ensure the trousers stay flexible and breathable throughout active tree-work. The light-weight build reduces fatigue on climbs, while the functional fibre lining keeps comfort against the skin. Ventilation zips at the back of the legs work together with mesh or lining inserts to encourage airflow, which helps maintain a comfortable temperature during intensive work or warm conditions.
Work-Ready Features and Practical Details
The trousers come with removable elastic gaiters, which help keep debris and wood chips out of boots. Adjustable, ergonomic leg lengths (short, standard, long) ensure a better fit across different users. The slim-fit (for certain colour variants) reduces snag risk when working among branches or gear. Overall, Pfanner built these trousers to meet real-world arborist demands for safety, durability, comfort and practicality.
