Technical Details
Why Choose the STIHL Function ERGO?
STIHL is the world's best-selling chainsaw brand, and the Function ERGO is positioned as their entry-level, occasional-use trouser — reliable Class 1 protection and genuine STIHL build quality at a lower price point than premium daily-use ranges like Arbortec Breatheflex Pro or Pfanner Ventilation. Choose the Function ERGO if you use a chainsaw occasionally rather than as a full-time trade; if you're on a saw daily, the extra ventilation and mobility features on premium Type A trousers are worth the higher price.
Certified Protection Explained
EN 381-5 Class 1 (20 m/s) Design A means these trousers have passed standardised chainsaw contact testing at a chain speed of 20 metres per second, with front-of-leg coverage only. EN 381-5 is the original garment testing standard and is gradually being superseded by EN ISO 11393, the newer international equivalent — current STIHL stock is certified and labelled to EN 381-5, which remains valid and widely accepted across UK forestry sites. The KWF Standard quality mark is a separate German forestry industry endorsement recognising build quality and practical utility.
Pairs Well With
Complete your kit with a certified chainsaw helmet, a pair of chainsaw boots, and chainsaw gloves to bring your protection up to a matched standard.
