i also love my sip's, i think they are the best for tree work. although the strech airs are best for tree play. either way both pairs of pants were both worth the money!

damnit.
For all you non protective guys,
F Stretch Air, F Arborwear, GO HEMP, they are moisture wicking, can be light weight over heavy, they are durable and you will pay less for them (although they are still expensive for clothing)

I own five pair of tech and will use them until they wear out. One pair is three year old and two are two year old and two are new. No problems with sweat or cold. I even wear them on my days off just to kick around in.

, carhart bibs, uninsulated. they're super comfortable, nice and roomy, I like the fact that I don't have to keep pullin' my pants up and I like the chest pockets for my wallet and cell phone . I wear them year round, in the summer I sometimes undo the side buttons for good ventilation. In the winter, they keep the cold off your back. I buy the bluejean preshrunk kind, they're lightweight as far as bibs go.

I love my Arborwear Tech pants and the warmest that I have climbed is 100 - i will say they do dry quick and I even use them on the rivers when I canoe.
The only thing that i am not yet get down, is the cargo pockets on the thighs - once in the harness i find it hard to get things out of them,
BUT they do keep me cool and dry - two things that i like
jz
summer swelter is just about a month away.

Do you run a saw with bibs on it seems that if you had a teeshirt on and sides unbuttoned you would fill your bibs with wood. I dont think sweaty shorts would go good with wood chips.

Tech Pants are on me more than jeans.
A few years ago I was doing some climbing for an oak wilt research project. On two back to back days I wore Tech Pants and a pair of broken in denim jeans. My routine and climbing were identical. My meals and water intake were identical. The weather was identical, 90 degrees plus and at least 80% humidity. What I'm getting to is that this was as close to a side by side jeans to Tech Pants as I could get.
When I was driving home the second day after wearing the denim jeans I realized that I wasn't feeling real well. A bit nauseasted and a bit of a headache. After the AC cooled me down I started to review. The only difference was that I was wearing denim jeans. That showed me that the cotton was not cooling my body down as well as the Tech Pants. After talking with many other folks who have found that Tech Pants keep you cooler I am convinced of their value.
After wearing Tech Pants during even higher temps and humidity I can say that they do not feel clammy or 'wet'. Denim jeans get wet and stay wet in summer and winter.

I like good old Arborwear Tree Climber Pants, the double front ones. Depending on your size, they still have some at Sierra Trading Post on sale for $29.95. I think I'm gonna try some prAna Zions though.

Metoo.
Took me a long time to spend $80 for pants when I can get jeans for 5 bux at thrift stores. Now I wear AW techs most of the time even when I'm not at work. Soaked with sweat when I come down for lunch, dry by the time I go back up. So far, I've been really impressed by the way they hold up to climbing with saws.

Hi
Here´s the link to Pfanner´s website english version; web page , Pfanner have four models of chain saw protective pants; Cordura, Kevlar Extreme, Arborist and Gladiator. Personally I prefer Gladiator for climbing since they have an extra front layer that is extra abration and water resistant. The cordura fabric on the back of the legs ventilates well. The pants are very comfortable, extremely durable and well worth every cent. The Gladiator comes without protective layers too as a climbing pant, by far the best pant I ever have worn.
Cheers

i agree. $80 for pants is just crazy. but i now own 5 pairs and will buy even more. like tom said i wear techs more than any other pant
If your looking to spend a lot of money on climbing pants, consider looking at motocross pants. I climb in KLIM Dakar pants and they are freakin awesome. Articulated knees, Full Kevlar below the knees, Cargo Pockets that fit below the legstraps, long zippered vents for the hot days. they Cost about 140$, way cheaper than the stretch air pants. Mine have lasted for a year and a half of daily climbing and they still look new.
