The all new Ascend chainsaw pants are now available for purchase.
And we’re all pretty excited about this launch at Clogger.
We’ve been working on the new Ascends over a year. Why? Because we wanted to complete our range with a new option for cooler conditions and for people who prefer a more classic design.
Continue reading “Introducing the ALL NEW Ascends – Lighter Strikes Again!”Arborists are expected to work in environments which experience extremities of weather. 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.
Continue reading “The Risks and Costs of Hot Chainsaw Pants and Chaps”There is a lot of confusion about the chainsaw protection standards and how they vary around the world.
Type C, Class 1, chainsaw fabric layers, chainspeed, test methods ….
Understanding the global chainsaw protection standards is becoming increasing 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.

“@Matt Lee if these are released and u don’t buy me them, I quit”
“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.

For most of our clothes, cleaning it after each use is a common practice (Or maybe two uses. Or maybe three for the most adventurous).
Mum and Dad used to do it, so this is how we do it.
For some clothes, we make an exception such as jeans, coats or the ones made with natural fibers like merino.
But what about your chainsaw pants and chaps?
Will washing increase, decrease or have no effect on the protection you will have from your chainsaw pants and chaps?
How should you wash and dry them?
How to take care of your chainsaw pants and chaps?
No worries, we have all your answers here. And if there isn’t, just leave a comment below and we will get back to you!

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.

But sometimes, we just don’t know what we truly need. With an increasing number of e-commerce websites, the choice is larger than ever and it is easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of information available. Continue reading “5 Unexpected Reasons You Must Wear Fully Fire-Resistant Chainsaw Gear”
