Arborwear Canopy Pants, Coal

Arborwear Canopy pants are work pants made for tree care, here in a dark coal gray. They are cut to move when you climb and tough enough for dragging brush and kneeling on rough ground.

A daily pant for tree work

The Canopy is one of Arborwear's tree work pants, designed for people who climb in the morning and drag brush all afternoon. The cut leaves room through the seat and thigh for big steps, and the fabric is made to take bark, rope and chipper-side work without wearing through in a season.

Coal is a dark charcoal that hides sap, bar oil and stump dirt, so the pants look presentable at the next job. If you want a lighter color for summer sun, the Canopy also comes in driftwood. Compare it with other tree climbing pants for stretch and weight.

Fit, care and limits

Try them on with your saddle or compare against a pair you already like. You want the waist snug and the pockets clear of leg loops. Wash cold and inside out to slow fading, and hang dry or tumble low.

These are work pants, not chainsaw protection. When you run a saw on the ground, wear chaps or chainsaw-protective pants as ANSI Z133 requires. Check seams at the crotch and knees now and then and repair small tears before they spread.

Many crews keep one pair in the truck as a dry change for wet mornings, and rotating two pairs through the week helps both last longer.
