Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Arbor Forestry Pants
Q1: What safety certifications do the Arbor Forestry Pants meet?
The Arbor Forestry Pants are rigorously tested and certified to meet ASTM F1897-2014 (Chainsaw Protective Legwear), CAN/BNQ 1923-450-M91 Class A, B, or C, and are tested by Underwriter Laboratories (UL). 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.

ArborPants™ are designed for professional arborists, loggers, and workers who rely on chainsaws and power equipment.

The Arbor Forestry Pants incorporate Cordura® Nylon fabric on the front and waist, Kevlar® reinforcement on high-wear zones like thighs and knees, and Nylon thread stitching for enhanced durability. This design ensures resistance against abrasion, snagging, and daily field wear while remaining washable and long-lasting.
