STIHL ADVANCE X-Light Chainsaw Trousers - Design A Class 1
The STIHL ADVANCE X-Light Chainsaw Trousers are ultra-lightweight professional Design A chainsaw trousers built for arborists, forestry workers and tree surgeons who require maximum mobility and ventilation during demanding work. Developed using STIHL's exclusive AVERTIC™ Pro Lite cut protection, these trousers deliver reliable Class 1 chainsaw protection (20 m/s) while remaining one of the lightest protective trousers in the STIHL ADVANCE range at just ≈990g.
Sized S to XL in Black, they're in stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Designed for hot working conditions and intensive climbing work, the ADVANCE X-Light trousers feature highly breathable ventilation fabric across the rear of the legs to help regulate body temperature. The ProElast stretch system with a fully elasticated crotch and stretch inserts in the legs provides outstanding freedom of movement, making them ideal for arborists working in challenging climbing positions or performing aerial chainsaw tasks.
With six-layer AVERTIC™ Pro Lite front cut protection, reflective details for improved visibility and secure closable pockets, the ADVANCE X-Light trousers deliver professional-grade protection and comfort. Awarded the KWF Pro quality mark, these trousers are designed for daily forestry and arboricultural work where lightweight protection and flexibility are essential.

Technical Details
Why Choose the STIHL ADVANCE X-Light?
STIHL is the world's best-selling chainsaw brand, and the AVERTIC™ Pro Lite cut protection was developed exclusively for STIHL to hit an unusually low 990g weight without dropping below Class 1 certification — genuinely one of the lightest Design A trousers on the market. Choose the X-Light over the heavier ADVANCE X-TREEm Type A if minimum weight and maximum ventilation matter more to you than the X-TREEm's extra durability-focused build.
Certified Protection Explained
EN ISO 11393 is the current international standard for chainsaw protective clothing, testing cut resistance against chainsaw contact. Class 1 means the trousers are rated for chain speeds up to 20 m/s, and Design A confirms front-leg-only coverage. The KWF Pro 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.

FAQs
How lightweight are these trousers really?
Approximately 990g, making them one of the lightest Class 1 Design A chainsaw trousers in the STIHL range.
What's the difference between the X-Light and X-TREEm?
The X-Light prioritises minimum weight and maximum ventilation. The X-TREEm is built for greater durability at a higher weight — choose based on whether lightness or ruggedness matters more for your work.
Are these suitable for climbing?
Yes, the ProElast stretch system and elasticated crotch insert are designed specifically for climbing and aerial arborist work.
What does AVERTIC Pro Lite mean?
It's a six-layer cut-protection system developed exclusively for STIHL, engineered to deliver Class 1 protection at a significantly reduced weight.
Is chain oil or other consumables included?
No. These are protective trousers only; chain oil, fuel and other saw consumables are sold separately.
