When it comes to finding the ideal pair of chainsaw pants, one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the leg length.

Ember Chainsaw Pants – the Ultimate Thermal Heating Engine for Winter.

We know how tough it is working in extreme conditions.

There is another extreme. The cold and wet. Winter. Embers are designed for this. They are winter chainsaw pants.

Ember – Winterproof chainsaw pants for working in the cold and wet weather.
