Arbortec ATHV4035 Breatheflex Chainsaw Trousers - Design C Class 3 Hi-Vis Orange
The Arbortec ATHV4035 Breatheflex Chainsaw Trousers provide the highest level of chainsaw cut protection in the Breatheflex range, engineered for professionals working in the most demanding tree surgery, forestry and railway environments. Certified to EN 381-5:2020 Class 3 (28 m/s), they're built for situations where maximum cut resistance matters most.
Sized XS to 2XL, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Arbortec dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
The Design C construction covers the full circumference of the leg, front and back. Built with the breathable Climasphere fabric system and six-way stretch construction, the trousers stay flexible and manageable despite the extra layers needed for Class 3 protection. Reinforced seat and knee panels add durability in high-wear zones, and a reinforced hammer loop keeps a tool within easy reach.
Key Features & Benefits
- Design C chainsaw protection - full front and rear leg coverage
- Certified to EN 381-5:2020 Class 3 (28 m/s), the highest chainsaw protection class
- Climasphere breathable fabric for airflow during intense work
- Six-way stretch construction for flexibility and mobility
- High-visibility orange colourway for improved visibility in low light or dense foliage
- Reinforced seat and knees for durability against wear and tear
- Reinforced hammer loop for secure tool storage
- Double leg zips for easy removal, even wearing work boots
Technical Details
Why Choose the ATHV4035 Class 3?
Class 3 is the level to choose when the consequences of a cut are severe enough that even Class 2's margin isn't enough - certain railway and high-risk forestry roles specify it outright. The trade-off is a heavier, less ventilated garment than Class 1 or 2, but the Climasphere fabric and six-way stretch here are specifically there to keep that trade-off as manageable as possible.
Certified Protection Explained
EN 381-5:2020 Class 3 is the highest chainsaw protective clothing rating, testing garment performance against a chain speed of 28 metres per second, well above the 20 m/s of Class 1 and 24 m/s of Class 2. The cut-resistant layers are designed to jam the chain's drive sprocket on contact rather than stop kickback itself, which remains a separate hazard controlled through safe operating technique and the chainsaw's own chain brake.

FAQs
What does Class 3 protection mean?
Class 3 is tested against chainsaw contact at 28m/s, the highest chain speed rating in EN 381-5:2020, offering more protection margin than Class 1 or Class 2.
Does this protect against kickback itself?
The cut-resistant fabric is designed to stop the chain on contact, not to prevent kickback. Kickback risk is managed through safe technique and the chainsaw's chain brake.
What does Design C cover?
Full front and rear leg protection, covering the full circumference of the leg.
Is this suitable for railway work?
Yes, it's tailored for the demands of tree surgeons and railway vegetation management workers.
Are these trousers breathable despite the extra protection?
Yes, the Climasphere fabric system and six-way stretch construction help maintain airflow and flexibility despite the added protective layers.
