Best is determined by comfort, price, and safety. Regarding safety, all Clogger pants exceed the highest standard in the markets in which we operate. This includes the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
The best also depends on what you are looking for in a pant.
- If you are a climber, Zeros are known as the coolest chainsaw pants available, with the outer fabric using Nilit® Breeze yarn which is proven to reduce body temperature.
- Ascends are best for wet and cooler conditions with extra features like zipped vents, high back, and a roomy back pocket. If Zeros are a Formula 1 race car, then Ascends are a Limousine. Both pants are lighter and easier to work in compared to other options out there. From a safety perspective, both pants are fully certified and available with a calf wrap option.
- If durability is your main concern, the DefenderPROs offer the same lightweight characteristic of the Zeros but fewer of features. The result is that the price is about 30% lower. DefenderPROs still offer vents and two zipped pockets.
- If price is your main concern, you may be interested in TreeCREW as no sacrifice is being made on the comfort or safety features that many Clogger fans know and love; TreeCREW is a no-frills, affordable chainsaw pant.
- If you are after more of a ground pant with a low-key look, Clogger Denim may be something you are interested in.
- For North Americans, Embers are best for the winter- recommended for use in 50°F / 10°C or below.
- For those who require FR protection, the best pants for you will be Arcmax if you are doing utility work, and Wildfire if you are working with Wildland fires.
