Clogger Ember Chainsaw Pants

Clogger Ember chainsaw pants are protective trousers for arborists and saw operators who want leg protection built into a pant rather than strapped on as chaps. They are meant to be worn all day, on the ground or in the tree.

Pants or chaps

Chaps are quick to put on over jeans and easy to share across a crew. Pants like the Ember stay put, do not flap when you climb or drag brush, and do not have straps to snag. If you run a saw most of the day, pants are often the more comfortable choice.

Check the size chart and try them with your boots and saddle before a long day. Compare other styles in our chainsaw pants section.

Look at the fit through the knee and seat. A pant that is tight when you crouch to make a back cut or kneel to limb will get uncomfortable fast, and pants that bind are pants people stop wearing.

Care and retirement

Wash protective pants as the label directs. Oil and sawdust buildup can affect how the protective fibers work, so keep them reasonably clean. Avoid patching or altering the legs.

Any cut that reaches the protective layer means the pants are done. Remember they reduce injury from a running chain but do not prevent it. Training, a sharp chain, and safe saw handling under ANSI Z133 do most of the work.

Keep a record of when you bought them and how hard they have been used. Protective fibers age and wear, so inspect the legs for snags, thin spots, and pulled fibers.
