Pfanner Arborist Type-C Chainsaw Trousers - Class 1
The Pfanner Arborist Type-C Chainsaw Trousers are premium climbing chainsaw trousers engineered for professional arborists who require full 360° leg protection when working at height. Designed specifically for aerial tree work, these Type C trousers combine Pfanner's renowned durability with advanced stretch fabrics and ventilation systems for maximum comfort during demanding climbing tasks, certified to EN 381-5 Type C Class 1 (20 m/s).
Available in Grey, Red and Hi-Visibility Orange, across XS-2XL in Short, Regular and Long leg lengths, they're in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Pfanner dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
The trousers incorporate StretchAIR® stretch fabric for exceptional mobility while climbing on spikes or working on rope systems. The integrated KlimaAIR® ventilation system around the waist helps regulate temperature during intense work, while Keprotec® reinforcements on the front and inside of the legs protect against abrasion from climbing spikes and rough bark.

- StretchAIR® breathable stretch fabric for unrestricted movement

Technical Details
Why Choose the Arborist Type C?
Pfanner is an Austrian technical workwear specialist with a long-standing reputation among European forestry and arborist professionals, and the Arborist line is purpose-built for climbers rather than adapted from ground-work trousers — the Keprotec® reinforcements specifically target the abrasion climbing spikes and rope systems cause. If you don't need full 360° coverage and want lighter, more ventilated trousers, see the Arborist Chainsaw Trousers Type A for comparison.
Compare Arborist Type C vs Type A vs Gladiator Extreme
| Model | Best For | Protection | Ventilation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arborist Type C (this model) | Climbing & aerial saw work needing full coverage | Type C, front and rear leg | KlimaAIR® waist system |
| Arborist Type A | Climbing with lighter, more ventilated build | Type A, front leg only | Higher — lighter overall build |
| Gladiator Extreme Type A | Heavy forestry and abrasive ground work | Type A, front leg only | Lower — built for durability over airflow |
Certified Protection Explained
EN 381-5 Type C Class 1 (20 m/s) means these trousers have passed standardised chainsaw contact testing at a chain speed of 20 metres per second, with certified cut protection covering the full leg circumference. EN 381-5 is the original garment testing standard and is gradually being superseded by EN ISO 11393, the newer international equivalent — current Pfanner stock is certified and labelled to EN 381-5, which remains valid and widely accepted across UK forestry sites.
Pairs Well With
Complete your kit with a certified chainsaw helmet, a pair of chainsaw boots, and Pfanner Gladiator braces for a secure, comfortable fit.

What's the difference between Type A and Type C?
Type A protects the front of the leg only. Type C, like this model, protects the full 360° leg circumference — important for climbers who move around the trunk and branches.
Are these suitable for spike climbing?
Yes, the Keprotec® reinforcements on the front and inner legs are specifically designed to resist abrasion from climbing spikes.
Are they breathable despite full coverage?
Yes, the KlimaAIR® ventilation system at the waist and StretchAIR® fabric help regulate temperature during intense work.
What leg lengths are available?
Short, Regular and Long, across most sizes and colourways — check the variant selector for availability in your size.
Is chain oil or other consumables included?
No. These are protective trousers only; chain oil, fuel and other saw consumables are sold separately.
