Chainsaw pants

[treclmbr]

Hey all!
Iv'e been looking into new chainsaw protective pants for awhile now. Curently i own the urban forestry pant from stihl. I was looking into the SIP's as wel as the new Pfanner Gladiator pants offered from sherill. The down fall is i'm tall and lanky and live in canada where the standards are a little different for chainsaw protective pants. any thoughts and comments for these pants would be appreciated.

I've been buying my chainsaw pants from Commercial Solutions in Brampton, however since i've been there last they have split from the C.S. chain. They are nothing like the best in the world but they fit me and I'm tall and skinny. Just buy a pair a size bigger in the waist, it helps to save the crotch. But I've been working in saw chaps and shorts all summer. Commercial solutions is a decent place to buy arborist gear as well.

I just got some of the Gladiator's and have been extremely happy with them so far, which has only been a couple of weeks. Im 6'2'' about a 34-35 waist and I have a medium and they fit great. They have boot gaiter, so that keeps any chips and dust out. they are super comfy as well, definitely warm, but they do have the vents in the back.

I had been using the husqvarna pants until today for climbing. Just got my SIPS in the mail. They were cooler then my husky pants in todays heat. For movement they were incredible. Absolutely no limitation to range and flexibility. I fell in love with these pants today. I can recomend them hands down!
