Husqvarna Tools

A great product, fit perfectly over my standard work trousers for the occasional chainsaw use at home and when out on fencing jobs. Plenty of adjustment on the straps to make them as loose or as snug as you want. There is a bit of weight to them, but still easy to walk in. Well worth the price for guarantee safety, and not being stuck to your legs all day when not needed.

First let me say these are serious professional grade protective chaps. All the material is high quality including the straps and fasteners around the waist and leg. I like that there are four straps that go around each leg, One at the thigh (which you cannot see in the picture) and three below the knee. This is important for comfort and safety because it allows you to adjust the size for a propper fit and it prevents the chaps from being loose and flapping around, which is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous because you could trip. Additionally, these pants are heavy so poorly fitted heavy chaps that flops around would add to fatigue while working. Second, a comment on sizing. The measurements 36-38" and 40-42" pertain to the measurement from your waist to your ankle. This is not an inseam measure like for jeans. Everyone is shaped different so take your waist to ankle measurement to be sure. I'm 5'8" and waist to ankle I measure 37", the 36-38" size fits perfect. Rule of thumb is if your jeans inseam is 31" or less, go for the 36-38". Otherwise go for the the 40-42". Note, if the chaps are a little long you can cuff them under to shorten it and the bottom strap on the leg will hold the cuff in place (another great feature about these chaps). Waist measurement is nearly irrelevant, the waist strap is plenty big. Lastly, these chaps are excellent quality for the money. I was surprised how high quality they were. Don't go cheap, chaps are one of the most important pieces of protective gear you need. Most common chainsaw injuries are to the leg. Jeans will not protect you at all, they are like tissue paper to a chainsaw.

After using chainsaws for 40 years my wife said no more without chaps. I currently have five saws at two farm properties and purchased the Husqvarna wrap chaps to try before getting a second pair. I found them quite heavy and very warm to wear especially when doing heavy physical work. There are no belt clips and I feel braces may be needed to save constant hitching. They wrap around the legs snuggly and provide excellent protection. Adjustment is easy and I've found it's easier to leave them set up for work and carefully step out/in rather than loosening the buckles and retightening when next used. We had a few trees almost 200 feet come down in a storm and I was glad I was wearing these due to the slippery wet ground. After an hours cutting I needed to take them off to cool down and found the front orange wrap was covered in dark slime/algae etc from the trees. These were left to dry and pretty much brushed off. A quick scrub with water on a nail brush removed some stubborn spots and they looked like new. I'm considering another pair for my son as they do provide so much protection. They actually help you feel safe and protected due their high quality. I'm also looking at Oregon pants which are so much lighter for use in the warmer weather but will purchase another pair of these due to their construction, high protection, comfort and relatively cheap cost. I found the stated size very accurate. I'm a 36" (92cm) waist and the 36 - 38 are perfect to wear over jeans or work overalls.

Bought these pants for added safety when using chainsaws. They seem to be made well and quality fit and finish. I am 6 ft 250 lbs they would fit up to a 42 waist. Good length and easily adjustable to fit snug around your leg. As a side note, they make walking through thorns and thistles a breeze. If I had one minor complaint it would be the waist strap it a bit narrow. A wider nylon webbing and maybe a bit heavier duty. But very happy with the product.

I've been a timber cutter for the past 20 years, and these are by far my favorite chaps. Long lasting, good fit, and with the 3 buckles below the knee, they really stay put.
