Type C, Class 1, chainsaw fabric layers, chainspeed, test methods ….
Understanding the global chainsaw protection standards is becoming increasingly important as arborists explore work opportunities in different countries and as arborist retailers start shipping outside their home country.
We thought that it was time to put a comprehensive guide to chainsaw protection standards together. Grab your popcorn and read on.
Continue reading “The Clogger Guide to Global Chainsaw Protection Standards (2022 Update)”We know how tough it is working in extreme conditions.
With Zeros, we designed a new generation of chainsaw pants that made working in heat and humidity possible.
There is another extreme. The cold and wet. Winter. Embers are designed for this. They are winter chainsaw pants.
Arborists in the colder parts of North America work in temperatures as low as -20 F and some times even colder than that. Up until now, the only option to stay safe is to wear heavy chainsaw pants with thermals underneath. This makes movement difficult and encourages fatigue.
As a result, we created another new type of chainsaw pant – the Ember. The only winter chainsaw pants designed for keeping out the cold wind and rain. You could call them cold pants.

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).

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.
So, the good news.
Continue reading “Clogger Next Generation Pink and Orange Zero Campaign”The use of chainsaw chaps or pants is important.
Really important.

In this post, we review the most common questions we get asked about chainsaw protection and provide the answers that you need.
New Zealand is in lockdown for two weeks more weeks and the Clogger team knows how hard it is to keep kids entertained and we know that it’s even harder for all the older outdoorsy forced to stay at home.
So we decided to publish our first ever (and probably only) colouring book! For young and old, lovers of bold colours or darker ones, this is your chance to recreate Clogger’s most famous PPE in your favourite colours.
Stay safe everyone!
