These certifications ensure compliance with the highest industry standards for chainsaw operators and professional arborists.
Q2: How do ArborPants™ provide chainsaw protection compared to traditional chaps?
Unlike traditional chainsaw chaps with straps that can snag on branches or machinery, ArborPants™ are designed as full trousers with no loose catch points. They use ProlarLite™ protective padding, which is lighter and thinner than standard materials but engineered to jam the saw chain on contact, stopping cutting action immediately to reduce injury risk.
