Hi guys, just wondering what chainsaw pants you're wearing. Looking for comfortable, durable and functional pants, considering clogger, arbortec, arborwear, pfanner or ? Any experience or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Find a pant you like and go to the manufacturers website, they should have tall sizes.I'm looking for pants as well. I am 6'5" so everything I have tried are severe flood pants. Any tall guys out there have any suggestions?
Dang, do you not have a torso?I'm 6'1" and I'm currently using the 36" Echo chaps, and they're a hair too short for my liking. In hindsight I would've gone with the 40" chaps, not even sure if those would be long enough for you really tall guys out there though
I think it's the other way around, I wear 32x32 jeans, I just prefer the top of my chaps to be a touch above my waistline. I've got a pic of what my friends 32" Stihl chaps look like on me (had to borrow his because I forgot mine, FWIW he’s 5’6) and they look comedically short on meDang, do you not have a torso?

As far as chaps go I like my clogger zeros, had stihls and their alot hotter vs the zeros.Tall 6'4'' here as well. I may be partial to Stihl's, but even on their website they aren't long enough. Add my closest dealer is more of a seller than an advisor. (Just wear Carhart's they say) I have watched the Stihl videos on chap performance when they come in contact with a chain. Impressive.
I'm open to comments and suggestions too...
The fact that I’m hunched over doesn’t help lolGotta protect the family jewels and the guts to do this job
I like my Echo chaps a lot for hotter weather. Never used pants so I’d have no idea about thoseAs far as chaps go I like my clogger zeros, had stihls and their alot hotter vs the zeros.
Man that sucks, have a accident?The fact that I’m hunched over doesn’t help lol
Nah, I just tend to bend over like that when I’m cutting below waist level. I’ve accumulated some pretty good sized scars over the years, fortunately I’ve never came close to a chainsaw accident yet, don’t plan on it either.Man that sucks, have an accident?
Good, glad to hear. be careful my friend.Nah, I just tend to bend over like that when I’m cutting below waist level. I’ve accumulated some pretty good sized scars over the years, fortunately I’ve never came close to a chainsaw accident yet, don’t plan on it either.
Yes, I found this out as well. Seems odd to me that the “sites” that have everything else won’t carry the tall versions but it’s the world we live in I guess. SMH, most tree dudes are ill proportioned in one way or another and they still only offer the cookie cutter size that barely anyone fits and still charge an arm and a leg. I know I’m a crying shame, lol!Find a pant you like and go to the manufacturers website, they should have tall sizes.
Yes you're right, I'm 6,2' so it's hard to find stuff local that fits. Best to go to the manufacturer.Yes, I found this out as well.

Also another thing it's better to have them a little long than a little short.I'm 6'1" and I'm currently using the 36" Echo chaps, and they're a hair too short for my liking. In hindsight I would've gone with the 40" chaps, not even sure if those would be long enough for you really tall guys out there though
