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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
