In the world of groundscare, forestry, and arboriculture, using a chainsaw is a fundamental task. Whether you’re a landscaping contractor, a ground worker, or simply a serious homeowner tackling significant tree work, safety must always come first. Often, the cost of certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can be a barrier for those who only use a chainsaw occasionally.

Treehog: Quality PPE Without the Premium Price Tag

Treehog, part of UK-based manufacturer Arbortec, have a reputation for supplying robust, dependable, and budget-friendly chainsaw protective wear and climbing equipment. They are a brand built on years of industry knowledge, ensuring that the TH250 trousers meet all the necessary UK safety standards without forcing you to spend a fortune.

What You Need to Know: Certified Safety and Design

If you're asking, "What are the best cheap chainsaw trousers?", the answer should always focus on the safety rating. The Treehog TH250 hits the mark with these crucial specifications:

• Type A Protection: This signifies protection on the front of the legs (at least 270°), making them the industry standard for ground-based chainsaw operation. They are generally lighter and more flexible than Type C (all-around) trousers, making them excellent for non-climbing tasks.

• Class 1 Certification: The TH250 conforms to BS EN ISO 11393-2:2019 Class 1 (20 m/s). This means the multi-layer cut-protection system is certified to stop a chainsaw chain moving at up to 20 metres per second. For the occasional garden user or part-time contractor, this is the standard level of protection you should always insist on.

Features Built for Practicality, Not Just Price

The TH250 isn't just about the low price; it’s about providing practical features often found in more expensive models, making them some of the best-value chainsaw trousers on the market:

• Comfortable Fit: An elasticated and adjustable waist ensures a secure fit, which is vital for safety and comfort during longer tasks.

• Breathability: Featuring a zipped ventilation system, these trousers help keep you cool and reduce fatigue, an essential consideration for anyone working outdoors in the UK climate.

• Durability Where It Counts: The lower legs are reinforced with durable Cordura® fabric, designed to resist abrasion and tearing, extending the lifespan of your investment. This is perfect for work in rough undergrowth or when handling machinery.
