Power tool make Stihl has launched additions to its professional personal protective equipment “to deliver outstanding comfort, protection and mobility” for forestry workers and arborists.
Spanning the Function, Dynamic and Advance collections, the latest additions blend durable materials, ergonomic designs and high-visibility details to ensure users stay safe and comfortable in all conditions.
Within the Function line, the Core collection is a water-repellent jacket and chainsaw trousers, designed for occasional chainsaw users.
The trousers feature Design A, Class 1 classification, protecting against chain speeds of up to 20 m a second. They are available in a regular fit and two-way stretch material “for maximum comfort”.
They pair with the new Core jacket to provide “market-leading durability and relaxed fit, with lightweight, tear-resistant polyester”. Black stretch fabric covers elbow and side areas for optimum comfort.
The new Function active chainsaw boot also provides Class 1 cut protection and EN 20345 S3 certification.
Available in three variations, the DuroTEC cut protection trousers can be purchased with Class 1 or 2 protection levels and in Design A and C offerings, providing a suitable option for professionals facing a range of working conditions.
All versions offer regular fit and stretch zones, with water-repellent finish and kidney protection. They also feature waterproofing at the lower part of the leg and provide robust abrasion protection.
The matching Dynamic DuroTEC jacket is durable and flexible, also providing water-repellent finish and abrasion-resistant zones. For added comfort, the jacket also offers four-way stretch material and ventilation openings.
New to Stihl’s premium Advance PPE range, designed for professionals who need high-performance protective clothing, are the ShellTEC jacket and FlexTEC trousers.
Offering a slimmer fit than the other two ranges, the Advance FlexTEC trousers are Class 1 certified and are available in Design A and Design C.
With tick protection around the ankles, plus robust, waterproof and thorn-resistant fabrics around the knees and lower legs, the designs offer an ergonomic fit and breathable comfort. All with advanced four-way stretch zones and kidney protection.
