The Stihl ADVANCE FlexTEC trousers – Design A, Class 1 are built for professional forestry, arborist and landscaping work where high mobility and front-leg cut protection are priorities. With a slim fit, reinforced wear zones and flexible ProElast inserts, they combine certified safety with day-long comfort.
Breathable fabrics, ventilation zips and a PFAS-free water-repellent finish help them perform in all conditions, while high-visibility detailing improves safety in low light. Suffolk Mowers stocks both regular and short-leg versions, with the ADVANCE ShellTEC jacket available to complete your PPE kit.
High-Performance Chainsaw Protection
The ADVANCE FlexTEC trousers – Design A, Class 1 provide certified protection for professional forestry, arboriculture and landscaping. Design A coverage protects the front of both legs and 5 cm of the back left leg, making them suitable for trained operators working in controlled conditions. Class 1 certification covers chainsaw speeds up to 20 m/s, meeting EN ISO 11393 standards.
Freedom to Move
The slim fit, stretch rear panels and ProElast inserts at the crotch and legs allow unrestricted movement during climbing, bending or working in tight spaces. Elasticated calf cuffs keep out sawdust, snow and ticks, while waterproof knee panels handle wet ground and abrasive surfaces.
Comfort in All Conditions
Breathable materials wick heat away from the body, and thigh ventilation zips give instant cooling in warmer weather. Kidney protection adds warmth and shields against knocks when working on uneven terrain. A PFAS-free water-repellent finish on the black panels offers eco-conscious weather resistance.
