Arbortec Workwear & Chainsaw Protection

Why Arbortec Has Become a Go-To Brand for Arborists

Arbortec isn’t built around fashion or general site work. It’s built around tree work. That means chainsaw protection is not an afterthought — it’s central to the design — but it’s combined with flexibility and fit that make sense for climbing, bending and working at height. Older-style chainsaw clothing had a reputation for being heavy and restrictive. Arbortec changed that direction. The focus is on reducing bulk where possible, improving stretch panels and reinforcement placement, and making garments that move with you rather than against you. For full-time arborists, that translates to less fatigue over long shifts.

Designed for Real-World Tree Work

This range is built for people who:

• Run a saw daily, not occasionally
• Climb and need freedom of movement
• Work in mixed weather across long shifts
• Need clearly rated chainsaw protection
• Operate on sites where compliance matters

It’s proper working kit. Not entry-level, not bargain PPE, and not casual outdoor clothing.

Protection That’s Clearly Defined

One of Arbortec’s strengths is clarity. Chainsaw trousers, gloves and boots are clearly marked by protection type and class, so buyers know exactly what they’re getting. That matters when you’re working to site rules or rail specifications. Instead of vague safety claims, the range is built around recognised protection standards. Buyers who understand Type A versus Type C, or Class 1 versus higher classes, can choose what fits their role rather than just picking the most expensive option.

Comfort Isn’t a Luxury — It’s Practical

Comfort in chainsaw clothing isn’t about softness. It’s about mobility and heat management. Arbortec’s better-known ranges focus on lighter construction, stretch panels and reinforcement in high-wear areas rather than simply layering more material everywhere. That makes a difference if you’re climbing or covering ground all day. Less restriction means better movement. Better movement means safer positioning and less strain over time.

Modular Thinking

Arbortec also approaches workwear as a system. Certain garments are designed to work together, allowing you to adapt protection depending on the job. That makes sense for arborists who switch between ground saw work and climbing during the same week. It’s a practical approach — wear what you need for the task, not more and not less.

Who Arbortec Suits Best

Arbortec is well suited to professional arborists, forestry teams and contractors who rely on their kit daily. It appeals to buyers who want a recognised name in the industry and who understand that proper chainsaw-rated PPE isn’t the place to cut corners. If you’re working occasionally or looking for the cheapest possible option, this isn’t that. If you’re earning a living with a saw, it makes more sense.

Buying Arbortec from Suffolk Mowers

When you’re buying chainsaw-rated clothing and PPE, getting the right specification matters. We stock a broad Arbortec range, including variations in sizing, leg length and protection type, so you can choose properly rather than compromise. If you’re unsure which protection class or design type suits your role, we’ll point you in the right direction. The aim isn’t to sell you the most expensive option — it’s to make sure what you buy matches the work you actually do.

Proper Sizing and Fit

Chainsaw trousers and boots need to fit correctly to perform as intended. We carry multiple sizes and variations across the Arbortec range, and we can help you check availability before ordering so you’re not guessing on fit.
