Description
Stihl X-Light Trousers deliver Class 1 protection with ultra-light, breathable cut-resistant fabric and flexible comfort for forestry professionals.
STIHL ADVANCE X-LIGHT Chainsaw Trousers
The Stihl X-Light Trousers give forestry and arboriculture professionals a premium lightweight trouser option that still provides Class 1 chainsaw protection. These Stihl X-Light Trousers use ultra-light materials and a slim, ergonomic fit to minimise bulk while maximising comfort. Because of their breathable, flexible design they suit hot weather, intensive use and tasks where freedom of movement matters most.
Ultra-Light Protective Construction
Built with Stihl’s exclusive AVERTIC™ pro lite cut-protection system, these trousers remain exceptionally light yet deliver certified protection up to 20 m/s. The full-stretch outer fabric combines polyester, polyamide and polyurethane components to allow comfortable mobility in all working positions. The lightweight outer layer also dries quickly and wicks away moisture, helping to keep the wearer cool on demanding jobs.
Design A Cut Protection & Professional Performance
The X-Light trousers meet Design A / Class 1 standards for front-leg chainsaw protection, making them suitable for standard wood harvesting and occasional professional use. The protective panels cover the front and lower body where protection is needed, while the rear ventilation fabric maintains airflow on warm days. This balance of protection and breathability makes them a reliable choice for arborists and forestry workers who value comfort as well as safety.
Comfort, Ventilation and Practical Details
The trousers feature a fully elasticated crotch insert (ProElast) to support active movement when climbing, kneeling or working at awkward angles. Ventilation sections at the back of the legs help regulate temperature and prevent overheating. Several pockets — designed to stay secure even when climbing or bending — offer useful storage space while reflective elements improve visibility in low light or woodland conditions.
