Lightweight saw pants

[CamTM]

Anybody have any insight on the Arbortec Breatheflex vented? I’ve been rocking the Clogger Zero Ultras, which are great, but wearing them through the winter makes them feel like heavy old Pfanners as it gets warmer. I also haven’t had the greatest luck with keeping Cloggers from getting torn up for more than a year. Clogger seems to have the pocket placement and size down better than anyone else, and that’s what’s keeping me away from the Arborwear Dogwood’s, but I wouldn’t mind looking elsewhere if I can be convinced.

Interested. It's really hot here, so I do chaps, often over shorts...

They’ve got better air flows/channels from what I’ve heard guys say and they like the pockets better and the chap material doesn’t seem to pick as easy. But only come in black which I’ll never understand, I get it from the hiding stains part but they’re supposed to be the hot weather pant lets get a lighter color, it’s been proven again and again to drastically reduce the felt temp.

Color me surprised! I’ve only ever seen the black beige is better! It would appear arbsession has the olive color too now.

beige

the thumbnail just shows black! I never looked closer at that option, thank you! Hopefully they still make those when I need a new set, but I am not getting much saw time these days.

I worked with a guy who had the beige ones and they look pretty decent. Of course they show dirt more, but whatever.

The beige wicks sweat and makes it look like you wet yourself, if that matters to you when you stop at the grocery store on your way home.

I sweat like it's my job, so I end up doing that to every pair of pants, no matter what.

Sure, same, but the beige is a bit, umm, extra. The gray and black hide the sweat marks a bit better. I should've saved the pic of a friend in his beige breatheflex, it was a natural PSA.

I just bought a pair in black (its called fashion, sweaty) and while I haven't yet worked in them, I can sense that I'm gonna like them more than the Clogger Zeros I have for summer and definitely more than the Pfanners for summer, though I do like the Pfanners for winter.
