Description
Pfanner Gladiator Extreme Chainsaw Trousers offer Class 1 Type A leg protection, Kevlar-reinforced durability, and stretch comfort — built for demanding forestry and arborist work.
Pfanner Gladiator Extreme Type A Chainsaw Trousers
The Pfanner Gladiator Extreme Type A Chainsaw Trousers deliver top-tier protection and durability for professional arborists, forestry workers and tree surgeons. With robust fabric construction, cut protection, and ergonomic features, these trousers balance safety with mobility — ideal when working at height, in dense woodland, or on heavy-duty cutting tasks.
Heavy-Duty Exterior with Cut Protection
The outer fabric is reinforced with Kevlar threads to resist abrasion, oil, water and heat — giving excellent durability in demanding environments. The trousers incorporate a chainsaw protection system using Dyneema fibres, certified to EN 381-5 Type A Class 1 (20 m/s), protecting the front of the legs where it matters most. Knees receive extra reinforcement with Keprotec® protection, which improves resilience under wear and movement. This heavy-duty structure helps the trousers withstand tough terrain, branches, undergrowth and repeated use.
Comfort, Breathability and Movement for Forestry Work
Pfanner uses a combination of StretchAIR® and KlimaAIR® fabric technologies along with a Cocona® fibre lining to improve wearing comfort and breathability. The back and supporting fabric zones offer stretch and flexibility, allowing easier climbing, bending, or maneuvering when pruning or rigging. Ventilation zips at the rear of the knees enhance airflow, making these trousers more comfortable during warm conditions or intensive work. The ergonomic cut and flexible materials help reduce fatigue during long shifts.
Practical Features for Everyday Use
These trousers include a larger kidney protection panel to support safety and comfort when wearing braces or harness gear. They are available in multiple leg-length variants (Short, Standard, Long) and a wide waist-size range to suit various body types. The slim yet sturdy build reduces snag risk while working among branches or equipment. Overall, the design supports consistent performance, longevity and safe use in demanding forestry conditions.
