Collection: STIHL Chainsaw Trousers – Type A & Type C for Arborists
STIHL chainsaw trousers cover both Type A and Type C protection standards, giving arborists, tree surgeons and forestry professionals the right specification for ground work and canopy operations respectively. Type A trousers provide front-leg chainsaw protection for felling and processing tasks; Type C delivers full wrap-around coverage for aerial climbing where rear leg exposure is a live risk.

The STIHL range includes ADVANCE, FUNCTION and DYNAMIC trouser models, each designed around specific working demands from lightweight climbing through to heavy-duty forestry use.

Buyer's Guide
STIHL Chainsaw Trousers Buyer's Guide
STIHL chainsaw trousers are available exclusively through authorised dealers in three ranges — ADVANCE for climbing arborists, FUNCTION for general professional use and DYNAMIC for heavy-duty forestry. This guide covers the full STIHL chainsaw trouser range at Gustharts, the difference between Type A and Type C in the STIHL line, and how to choose the right model for your work.
STIHL Chainsaw Trouser Range Overview
STIHL chainsaw trousers - also known as chainsaw pants - cover Type A and Type C protection in three product lines: ADVANCE for professional climbing arborists, FUNCTION for general arborist and grounds maintenance work, and DYNAMIC for heavy-duty forestry and felling use. All STIHL chainsaw trousers are certified to EN ISO 11393 and are available exclusively through authorised STIHL dealers. As a Gustharts authorised STIHL dealer, the full UK range is stocked with expert support on model selection.
STIHL ADVANCE Chainsaw Trousers
STIHL ADVANCE chainsaw trousers are designed for professional arborists who require maximum comfort and mobility during extended climbing and aerial operations. Available in Type C (wrap-around) configuration, the ADVANCE range uses a stretch-fabric outer shell with an articulated knee cut for climbing comfort. ADVANCE trousers are the lightest and most technically specified chainsaw trousers in the STIHL range, suited to tree surgeons who spend the majority of their working day in the canopy.
STIHL FUNCTION Chainsaw Trousers
STIHL FUNCTION chainsaw trousers are the versatile mid-range option, suited to professional arborists and grounds maintenance teams performing a mix of ground and aerial work. Available in Type A and Type C configurations, FUNCTION trousers balance protective performance with everyday comfort for mixed work patterns. They are the most widely worn STIHL chainsaw trouser in UK arborist use and represent strong value at a professional price point from an authorised dealer.
STIHL DYNAMIC Chainsaw Trousers
STIHL DYNAMIC chainsaw trousers are built for demanding ground-based forestry and felling work where durability and abrasion resistance are the priority. Available in Type A, DYNAMIC trousers use a heavier outer fabric to withstand the rigours of high-volume timber processing, felling and log production. The DYNAMIC range is the most robust in the STIHL chainsaw trouser line and is the preferred choice for professional forestry contractors and farm woodland management teams.
Type A vs Type C in the STIHL Trouser Range
STIHL ADVANCE trousers are available in Type C only - reflecting their intended use for aerial climbing where rear leg protection is mandatory. STIHL FUNCTION trousers are available in both Type A and Type C, covering ground crew and climbing arborists respectively. STIHL DYNAMIC trousers are available in Type A for ground-based forestry work. When selecting a STIHL chainsaw trouser, your first decision is whether you are working at ground level (Type A) or at height with a chainsaw (Type C).
Why Buy STIHL Chainsaw Trousers from an Authorised Dealer
STIHL chainsaw trousers are only available through authorised STIHL dealers - they are not sold through general retail or non-authorised online sellers. Purchasing from an authorised dealer like Gustharts guarantees a genuine product with full EN ISO 11393 certification, correct labelling and STIHL warranty coverage. Unauthorised or grey-market STIHL PPE may fail to meet the stated certification standard and could create liability for employers under PUWER if worn during chainsaw operations.
STIHL Chainsaw Trouser Sizing, Fit and Care
STIHL chainsaw trousers are sized in standard waist measurements from S to XXL in regular leg length, with long leg options in selected models. They are designed to be worn over standard work trousers - size up if you are between sizes for correct protective panel coverage. Machine wash at 40 degrees; do not tumble dry or iron the protective panels. Inspect the protective lining for damage after any saw contact - do not continue to use a trouser where the protective padding has been cut, torn or displaced.
