Cut-Protection Pants

Designed for use with chainsaws, these pants shield your legs when working around blades, cutting tools, and other sharp hazards. Rated ASTM F1414 and F1897, these pants balance protection and maneuverability. If a chain gets close, the fabric will jam it to prevent a cut.

Made of Cordura nylon, these pants are lightweight and breathable. Spandex in the fabric makes them stretch and flex when you’re bending, squatting, and climbing ladders. The knees and ankles are reinforced with Kevlar, so they stand up to frequent use and repeated scrapes. Since they have no straps or loose parts, they won’t get snagged in equipment. They have four pockets, each with either a zipper or a hook and loop flap to keep tools secure.

Find your waist size by measuring just above the top of your hip bone.

Cannot Be Sold To—Pants cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product regulations.

Made of polyurethane-coated polyester, they'll keep your shins dry and protected. They’ll fit over your bulky work boots and pants.
