chainsaw pants-recomendation ?

[sprucebunny]

In the winter I've been wearing some Husky chainsaw protective pants but they shrunk ... really !! Now that I read the label, you aren't supposed to put them in the dryer. They are too tight on my lower legs where the protection wraps around.
So I want some new ones that are machine washable and more Kevlar than polyester.Does anyone have a recomendation ?

Stihl or Husky are very good. What threshold speed were yours rated for? We mostly sell the 3600 because that is the minimum required under compensation regulations. Some companies insist on 3900 or even 4100 but these are very bulky and difficult to move in, not a good thing when felling.
Can-Swe is our most popular line, comfortable and very durable. You may be able to order direct.

Thanks, Sawguy. There is no speed rating on them but they are UL listed, made in Canada and 100% nylon. They are kind of bulky and not very waterproof and no insulation in the butt. They do have a pre bent knee that is very good.

I'll look into the Can-Swe. Labonville makes some, too. I didn't like the Labonvilles with the slip-in protection but they have a sewn in kind.
