Yes, they do say the measurement is "overall length".

Yes tree stuff.com has the pfanner gladiator pants in stock 299.00

I checked that webside out: these are the "gladiator pants" they are for colder temperatures (Fall, Winter). I did not see the "gladiator ventilation pants" (they would be for the summer). Not to be confused with arborist ventilation pants, they are diferent!
Check out the different pants on: http://katalog.pfanner-austria.at/

If my buddy from Sweden comes through with the oregon's (there for my step father) I will get a pair of the pfanner ventilation gladiator and compare the two.

Some years. It was 24f this morning and 38f high. Into single digits only for short periods a few days. It's unusually cold for this time here. It also gets into the 90sF here in the summer that's when standard USA spec pants get unbearable.

Ever notice how the Canadians and Europeans look like space cadets with all the required safety gear? Poor guys are regulated to death. I am all for people using all the PPE they want. Or not. But.....the gubbment know best!

You don't know the half of it.  Just about every private industry in this country is getting regulated out of existence. >:(

Beware!  It's coming soon to a State near you!   ;D

 :o thats a big difference! Have you notice that all brands have cheaper models (less hightec) and the top of the line pants are allways around 250-300? In Stihl is the same. Are you sure that this oregon is the strechy, venty pros model?

I bought 4 pair of the Stihl ones about five years ago. They were less than 100 bucks back then. No idea what they're now.
Make sure you know how to fall properly when you fall and as to not hurt anyone around you.
Also remember, it's not the fall what hurts, its the sudden stop. !!

Stihl has a pricerange in pants from 100-350$ at least in europe. the cheapest are for hobby sawers and casual users. If you use them daily as a professional, believe me you want to by the more expensive ones especialy when working in hot temperatures. there is a big difference between does pants

No hot temperatures here when I am working in the wood. Or otherwise, if it is hot, I am not running a chainsaw.  My saws don't even run then. ;D ;D
Those pants work for me but maybe not for everybody.

Yes they are pro model. Stretch. I found out about them on an arborist forum from Europe.

Yea I'd love a pair of those oregons if they are only $140, where can you pick those up?

OH logger

anyone try the pfanner ventilation chainsaw pants yet?? they look to be vented better to stay cooler than even the summer gladiator pants but unsure how durable and cut resistant they are. any one know ??

Lebonville summer pants with snap in pads are very light and comfy.

Straightgrain

Having a few nicks of my own and seeing pictures of more serious chainsaw cuts in this forum and during graduate school; I decided to buy a pair of the "lesser" chainsaw chaps from the local Stihl dealer for @ $89.00. I like them for protecting my legs from several occurrences beyond the obvious of cutting chains.

Falls, bumps, being whipped, and it keeps my trousers dryer & cleaner.

All of my nicks and close calls have been from "knee to bar" occurances; lifting my leg to step over  things and making contact with a moving chain....nothing new to the pros I'm sure.

My current saws idle properly and the chains stop, so that helps too.

Now I feel naked without them.  ::)

Offthebeatenpath

I bought a pair of the Stein Kreiger pants from Treestuff.com last summer and so far, so good although I have only used them for a few weeks. There is a bit of wear showing, but I love the super light and stretchy fabric in the back and the nomex on the front of the thighs. Also, a cell phone pocket on each leg is convenient. The suspender buttons match the Labonville pants. I try not to cut when it's too hot out, but when I have too, I reach for those.
