You can't, Sherrill stopped importing them. I got mine from Honey Bros in the UK. Weren't to bad $ wise and they were at my door in less then a week! I was told at the TCIA expo that Stein are supposed to be coming out with a similiar pant for less (same quality) the girl at the Stein booth (forget her name) Reg might was selling them there, she might have some left. Check the Stein link and call the #.
The Gladiator Cool chainsaw pants or trousers arent, I got a pair a few months back without the rear armour. To pay that much to find that my normal pants that are over $200 cheaper and with better armour coverage are cooler, will it raised my temp in more ways than one.
I think they are a made more to cope with wet weather than warm weather. I dont think Euro's understand what Aus, NZ, Canada or US mean by hot.
The Pfanners are well made, no doubt, but Id rather buy clogger arbormax and sweat a little less with more armour coverage. I hand sewed vent zips in the back of my arbormax's and now I'm set. I had my gladiators on today while doing quotes, and they will get used on wet days and in winter. But they just aint cool to work in.

I've been on a waiting list for 3 months at Pacific Arborist Supplies. Starting to piss me off.

They won't get them either, I ordered a pair from them last May, they still haven't got anything in. Order from honey bros, they are cheaper even with the shipping!

Yeah. I haven't been able to find them in the US either. You can get them on the UK ebay though if you can find your size.
I didn't know about the Stein Bros version though! I looks like Honey Bros are already selling them! STEIN Trousers

I just placed an order for the Stein's. At half the cost of Pfanner's and what looks to be a great pair of chainsaw resistant pants, I'm very interested to see how they are. I've been waiting long enough for some Pfanner's and I'm not waiting any longer. Total with shipping for the Stein's was $260.91. I'll let you know how they are when they get here in a few weeks to a month.

I did. I just figured being over seas it would take a while. I forgot it was 2012 now and not 1999. :msp_tongue:
