Safety Trousers For Chain Saw Operators

Safety trousers for chain saw operators FARM HOME Clothes 10-1-24 Anyone who's had a "close call" with a chain saw will appreciate new safety trousers and chaps from Husqvarna. Made of the same type material used to make bullet-proof vests, the pants and chaps can snag and stop a chain saw turning at over 4,000 ft. per sec. "Multi-layered construction makes the protective clothing work. Heavy-duty polypropolene blend material is woven in precise patterns and then layered up 11 times to produce the bulk and drag needed to stop a running chain saw," the manufacturer points out. All-season safety trousers have 2 pockets in front, 1 in back. They protect both legs (11 layers front, 3 layers back) and the fly. Available in black in even waist sizes 28 to 44, they retail for $59.95. All-season safety chaps have 6 layers of protection on both legs (front and back). They're water-resistant and, with cutaway seat, are cooler and offer greater mobility than the trousers. Available in tan or safety orange in small (28-30), medium (32-34). large (36-38) or extra large (40-44) waist sizes. They retail for $32.95.
