Product Overview
The Oak Chainsaw Trousers are a robust safety solution engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of the forestry industry. These trousers prioritise worker safety without compromising on agility, featuring nine layers of integrated protection to the front of each leg. Designed to withstand challenging outdoor conditions, the garment combines water-resistant properties with high breathability, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable throughout a demanding shift. The addition of an elasticated back waist provides a secure fit that moves with the wearer, which is essential when navigating uneven terrain or operating heavy machinery.
Key Features
- Nine-layer front protection provides a critical safety barrier against chainsaw hazards, meeting essential safety requirements for forestry work.
- Kingsmill Polycotton fabric offers a high-performance blend that ensures long-lasting durability while remaining comfortable against the skin.
- Water-resistant finish helps repel moisture, keeping you dry during inclement weather or when working in damp woodland environments.
- Breathable construction allows for effective moisture management, preventing overheating during periods of high physical exertion.
- Elasticated back waist enhances wearer comfort and provides a flexible fit that accommodates movement during complex tasks.
Design & Performance
The core of these trousers is the Kingsmill Polycotton fabric, a medium-weight blend consisting of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific composition is chosen for its superior dye retention and pre-shrunk nature, ensuring the trousers maintain their professional black appearance and fit even after repeated laundering. The internal lining, a technical blend of 43% polyester and 57% polypropylene, aids in the overall moisture-wicking capability of the garment. This combination of materials creates a substantial, sturdy garment that offers reliable protection without the excessive weight that can lead to operator fatigue.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a professional business appearance, these chainsaw trousers can be customised by our specialist team in Telford. Embroidery is the preferred method for adding corporate logos or individual names to workwear, providing a durable and professional finish that can withstand the rigours of outdoor work. For larger, more striking graphics that need to stand out from a distance, print customisation is also available. Since 1976, we have been refining our customisation techniques to ensure that your branding looks as resilient as the gear it is applied to.
Use Cases
These trousers are primarily designed for professionals operating within the forestry and arboriculture sectors. Whether you are a full-time tree surgeon, a forestry contractor, or involved in large-scale land management, the integrated safety layers provide the necessary protection required for chainsaw operation. They are equally suited for grounds maintenance teams who require a higher level of leg protection while maintaining the breathability needed for all-day wear.

Practical Advice
Given the integrated protective layers, these trousers have a substantial feel compared to standard work trousers. We recommend checking our size guide carefully to ensure the elasticated back waist provides the correct level of support. When layering, consider using moisture-wicking base layers to complement the breathable properties of the Kingsmill fabric, ensuring maximum comfort in varying temperatures.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high performance and protective integrity of your Oak Chainsaw Trousers, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Exceeding this temperature may damage the internal protective layers and the structural fibres of the Kingsmill fabric.
It is imperative that you do not bleach this garment. Bleaching agents will compromise the fabric's strength and degrade the dye, leading to premature wear and a faded appearance. Similarly, avoid dry cleaning as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the water-resistant finish and protective materials.
When drying, you may use a tumble dryer on a low setting, though drip line drying is recommended to further preserve the garment's shape and technical properties. If ironing is required, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C to ensure the fabric remains smooth without risking heat damage to the synthetic fibres.
