Most provinces in Canada have now adopted the European (EN 385-1) cut protective chain saw standard for leg apparel (except British Columbia, Alberta and Atlantic Canada).

This change was made necessary because the cUL/BNQ cut protection standard is no longer being enforced and will eventually be replaced in the coming years.

As a result, STIHL’s Function Universal Safety Pants can now be sold to professional users in those provinces. Function Universal Safety Pants are the perfect combination of features and value.

• Engtex cut protective material to meet EN, Class 1 (20 m/s) threshold chain speed Design A coverage (front of leg)
• Thorn protection on front and back of the legs for extra comfort and durability
• High waist back for kidney protection
• Ventilation material in back of each pant leg
• Shaped knee for better mobility
• Elastic and durable outer cotton blend material

Function Universal Safety Pants are the ideal value proposition for loggers, arborists, clearing saw operators, as well as consumers.
