- Cut protection pants are offered as waistband trousers, as dungarees, or as leg warmers. A wide-cut waistband trousers allow you relatively much freedom of movement, while a dungarees scores with many possibilities to stow this and that. The so-called leg warmers are attached to the waist with a belt and fixed with additional straps. They protect only the front leg area.
- There are three different types of cut protection pants. Type A pants have cut protection only in the front area, extending to just below the waist. Type B cut protection pants are a kind of mixture of types A and C and are hardly ever offered. With type C cut protection pants, you are protected all around. However, the cut protection only extends to the buttocks in the rear area.
- Most often you will find type A cut protection pants because they cover the greatest risk – the injuries caused by chainsaws and co. in the front leg area – and restrict you significantly less than type Cut protection pants.
- Cut protection pants are divided into four classes . Class 0 cut protection pants withstand a chain speed of 16 meters per second. For Class 1, protection increases to a chain speed of 20 meters per second, for Class 2 to 24 meters per second , and for Class 4 to 28 meters per second. Class 1 protective pants are sufficient in most cases.
- The cut protection trousers should not fit too tightly, but should also not be able to slip. We recommend that you choose a size larger than the one you normally wear, as the fabric of the cut protection trousers only yields slightly. If necessary, you should make sure that the pants have a stretchy gusset, since cut pants are usually only offered as unisex models. In the case of waistband pants, the waistband should be elastic so that it does not constrict you. It is also important that the protective pads are sewn securely.

FAQ About Cut Protection Pants
With cut protection pants, you can protect yourself optimally from possible injuries. They usually have a cushion in the leg or buttock area, which cannot be cut by a saw or similar tool.
Entry-level models are already available from about 50 euros. If you occasionally want to work with a chainsaw, you should spend at least that much money.
To ensure that your cut protection trousers do not lose their protection in the long term, you should replace them every year. At the latest when you notice signs of wear or material damage, a new purchase is unavoidable.
If you accidentally touch your leg with a saw, for example, the saw will first cut the fabric of a pair of cut-resistant pants. Underneath there is usually padding in the form of a matching cushion. This will block the saw after a certain amount of time and it will not be able to continue working because the threads of the cushion will wrap around the saw.
Cut protection pants are available in your normal clothing size. As with other clothing, a distinction is made between men and women. However, you can also choose unisex pants. However, it is not always possible to guarantee that they will fit your figure correctly. The fabric of cut protection pants is usually relatively tight and gives little. Therefore, you should rather choose one size larger.
There are classes 0 to 4. Class 1 is the most popular and is often used because it protects you sufficiently at a chain speed of 20 meters per second. In addition, cut protection pants are available in types A, B and C. Type A ensures that you are protected up to the hips and in the front leg area. Type C, on the other hand, guarantees all-round protection.
You can choose between classic trousers, dungarees or legwear. In dungarees you can sometimes store additional tools or other small items. The leggings, on the other hand, are worn like a belt and do not restrict you when working.
If possible, the cut protection pants should not constrict you if you want to work with them for several hours in the garden. Pants with an elastic band therefore provide additional comfort.
