STEIN KRIEGER FOREST Chainsaw Trousers A

KRIEGER "FOREST" Chainsaw Trousers Design "A"

Utilising a mix of bright orange & black ArmortexMDS an abrasion resistant Multi-Directional Stretch base material in the “Forest” trouser ensures the wearer has excellent flexibility in the areas which matter. The orange Armortex is factory treated with a nanotechnology Dirt-repellent* DWR* Coating. DWR is a Durable Water Repellent coating added to breathable fabrics to make them water-resistant or hydrophobic.

For increased visibility X25 stretchable patterned reflective stripes are applied to the lower leg region matching the STEIN X25 Ventout EN471 t-shirts.

The “Forest” trouser has a layer of NOMEX ZMX on both thigh areas to help protect from accidental exhaust burns and increases the durability of the trouser in this high wear area.

ArmortexKFM protects the inner leg greave area from the knee to the foot; this heavy duty waterproof tear resistant Kevlar polyamide material offers enhanced wear over normal materials with pre-formed knees giving increased comfort and movement. The greave area has been specially shaped so the X25 stripes are visible from most viewpoints.

The inner ankle hem is double lined to protect the blocking filament from boot eyelet wear.

On the right leg a phone pocket highlights the 112 “European Emergency Number”. A larger formed pocket is fitted on the left leg. Both leg pockets are made from the ArmortexKFM material for durability. Along with the 2 leg pockets, 2 standard zipped side pockets are fitted.

Do you wear the correct trousers?

AFAG401 quotes “Leg protection* and groin protection (complying with BS EN 381-5). HSE strongly recommends Type C leg protection for aerial work, because of the high all-round chainsaw cut protection. However, where wearing Type C is impractical (e.g. because of the higher risk of heat stress associated with it), it may be appropriate to use Type A, where justified by risk assessment.”

No PPE can ensure 100% protection from the use of handheld chainsaws. Users must ensure that the garment is suitable for the application and must follow all manufactures safety procedures and guidelines. Correct training is essential prior to any activity when using powered chainsaws.
