Launched in 2016, Clogger’s Zero series pants have revolutionized comfort and functionality in chainsaw protection for arborists.
Specifically designed for hot conditions, the Zero pants were the world’s first lightweight, breathable, and comfortable chainsaw pants quickly cementing their place in the ranks of must-have arborist gear.
Now Clogger takes this innovation even further with the launch of the Zero Ultra. Premium chainsaw pants for premium professionals.
Trees are majestic beings of our cities and suburbs. Sometimes though, our adventurous feline friends find themselves perilously perched in their branches.
Enter Steven Murrow and Tesla Tree Services—a company that not only cares for trees but also for the small lives that scamper up them (and sometimes can’t get down).

In fact, some arborists consider pushing themselves in extreme conditions as proof of their toughness and ability. Wearing hot chainsaw pants and chaps historically has been part of the challenge.
However, during the summer months, the temperatures experienced may present a clear and present danger to the arborist.
Even in the colder seasons, in locations not normally associated with high average temperatures, the effect of heat can be both significant and pronounced.

Making any mistake can leave room for error and given chainsaw chaps and pants have the potential to save your life – it is important you get it right.
For those operating in the professional tree care industry – whether you are a seasoned arborist, experienced groundie or in charge of procuring safety for your crew, you will no doubt be familiar with chainsaw protection.
In this post we will provide 18 examples of common mistakes that can occur when choosing, using and caring for chainsaw chaps and pants and some tips on how you can avoid making these mistakes.
A chainsaw operator has three lines of defence: education, good technique, and personal protective equipment (PPE). When the first two fail, PPE can save your life.
The thought of chainsaw injuries resulting in death is very confronting. In 2012, 243 workers died while engaging in tree-trimming and clearing activities (OSHA, 2012). The impact chainsaw injuries can have on a business is huge. Not only can it look unprofessional, but there is also lost income and it can hinder ability to carry out future jobs efficiently. In most instances, serious injury or fatality as a result of a chainsaw can all be prevented with the use of PPE. So, what are the 18 Top Mistakes with Choosing, Using and Caring for Chainsaw Chaps and Pants?

In 2020, we are still working to support our growing customer base but we felt that we had to do it again.

“Are you guys still able to make the Zero’s women in pink? Finally got some pink carabiners and what the pants to match”
“Yes please I stole my wife’s zeros for my worker so I need to replace her zeros. These would be great”
We decided that it was time to do a production run but thought that we should do something special as well.
So, the good news.

The Gen 2 Zero Chainsaw Pants are now available for purchase.
And we’re all pretty excited about this launch at Clogger.
We’ve been working on the Zero Gen 2 for months. Getting all the feedback we could on the first generation of the Zero chainsaw pants and thinking how we could improve them. We tested multiple fabrics to make sure this model would be more durable and sent the new Zero to some Arborists to trial.
The main objective was to make them tougher and more durable. We’ve made the changes and to put them to the test under real-life work pressure. The Gen 2 Zeros passed every test that we could think of. And voilà. The Gen 2 Zero is now on the shelf!
But, before getting it, you might wonder: what’s new about the Gen 2 Zero Chainsaw Pants?
Here’s the quick summary.
