Technical Details
Why Choose the Breatheflex Pro Type C?
Arbortec has built its reputation specifically around arborist workwear developed with climbing professionals, and the Breatheflex Pro range reflects that — the comfort liner and Kevlar® stretch crotch exist because arborists flagged sawdust build-up and crotch tearing as recurring problems with earlier designs. If you need full front-and-rear coverage rather than front-only protection, this Type C model is the one to choose; see the Breatheflex Pro Type A if front-only protection and maximum mobility matter more to you than all-round coverage.
Compare Breatheflex Pro C vs Breatheflex Pro A vs Pfanner Type C
| Model | Protection | Mobility | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breatheflex Pro C (this model) | Type C, front and rear leg | Kevlar® stretch crotch, good mobility | Kevlar®-reinforced panels |
| Breatheflex Pro A | Type A, front leg only | Lightest, highest freedom of movement | Good, lighter build |
| Pfanner Arborist Type C | Type C, front and rear leg | StretchAIR® mobility panels | Gladiator® fabric |
Certified Protection Explained
EN 381-5 Class 1 (20 m/s) means these trousers have passed standardised chainsaw contact testing at a chain speed of 20 metres per second. "Design C" means the certified cut-resistant zone wraps around the full leg rather than the front only. EN 381-5 is the original garment testing standard and is gradually being superseded by EN ISO 11393, the newer international equivalent — current Arbortec stock is certified and labelled to EN 381-5, which remains valid and widely accepted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 chainsaw gloves to bring your protection up to a matched standard.

FAQs
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 front and rear of the leg for full-circumference coverage.
Why do Multi Pattern trousers look different from the product photo?
Multi Pattern trousers are made from off-cut materials, so colour, pattern and panel layout vary pair to pair. The photo is a general likeness only.
Are these suitable for climbing?
Yes, the Kevlar® stretch crotch and comfort liner are designed specifically for climbing and aerial arborist 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.
