Been looking at a set of chainsaw pants and have read about a lot of different brands and have seen reviews of the Pfanners and Francital, but have not seen reviews of the Stein Kreiger Arborist pants. The information I have read on them make them sound promising. But interested in hearing from some guys that have been using them.
Thanks
 
I really like mine out of the 3 pairs I have ( stihl hi-flex, pfanner gladiators, and the kreigers) the kreigers are by far my favorite. Early and late season I like the extra warmth of the gladiators but once it's 70+ degrees the steins are much better. I will be ordering a couple more pairs of them this year. Also I would say they are at least as tough as the gladiators and far better than the hi-flex
 
Caleb, think about the color of the clothes worn by desert dwellers.....black....

We're all encouraged to wear white in summer, since white clothing is supposed to keep us cool — but it doesn't. In fact, black clothing is the best way to keep cool in the heat. It's basic physics. And biology. Find out why cool people will wear black this summer.

Generally in summer, we're treated to lines of loose summery white clothing. Not only is the white supposed to look nice floating around the edges of a picnic — until a few seconds into the event, when it has its first grass stain — people claim that white is the ideal way to keep cool in the summer. When we see white, we're seeing the combination of all possible visible light. This means that white clothing reflects a great deal of wavelengths of energy coming in. This means it should reflect the sun's rays back, instead of letting them cook us. And that's perfectly correct.

Except that this explanation is also incomplete. Heat is not just coming in off of the sun. It's also coming off a person's own, sweating, warm-blooded, mammalian body, which is a lot closer than the sun is. When all that body heat hits the white clothing covering it, it gets reflected right back towards the body. When we wear white, we cook ourselves.

The best color to keep cool in the heat, it turns out, is to wear black. Black absorbs everything coming in from the sun, sure. But black also absorbs energy from the body instead of reflecting it back. Now, the helpfulness of black clothes depends on finding black clothes that are the same thickness and looseness as those summery white clothes. Black clothing also needs a little help from atmospheric conditions. Once it has absorbed heat, it has to have some way to radiate it away. If there's even a little wind, black clothing is the better choice for those who want to keep cool, like goths who understandably don't like sweating through their make-up. So find something black to wear this summer.

And if people ask you what you're in mourning for, tell them you mourn their limited grasp of physics.

That's amazing! I feel cooler already...
 
I've always been under the impression that the fabric is far more important than the color. I usually work in thin cotton shirts (Hanes tag less under shirts). And I buy the dark variety. It stains less noticeably. For pants......well, ventilation is my best friend and a bitter enemy. Anything that let's air pass freely, also let's sawdust go in and then in to my boots.....and that can ruin my day if I'm not careful.
 
It's actually a bright neon yellow looks kind of green in the picture, had some generic dry fit stuff but for some reason this fabric feels a lot cooler, I like the high visibility if nothing else
 
I had an Anthropology professor, many moons ago, explain a lot of that when a student asked him why Arabians wore white clothing sometimes, and black other times. He said it depended mostly on whether the wind was blowing, or not... or if it was night or day... or if they were moving, or waiting out a sandstorm. He tied it all together with some very interesting logic behind a dress code that baffled Europeans until they lived there for awhile, and figured out that thousands of years of living in the desert taught them a lot about the difference between what seems like it ought to work and what really does work.
 
I am always amazed how just about every post goes the way of the old telephone came and is like a small meteor bouncing off the atmosphere going off in a whole new direction.
