Description When you’re working in challenging forestry, tree-felling or arborist roles, your trousers not only need to be protective but also supported — especially when wearing heavy chainsaw protective layers. The Arbortec Heavy Duty Braces are designed with exactly that in mind. They replace belts (which can be uncomfortable or incompatible with climbing harnesses) and offer a comfortable, secure fit that works throughout the day. Key Features Heavy-duty 5 cm elastic webbing for strong, flexible support. Steel adjusters for quick and reliable length adjustment. Back piece length approx. 27 cm (offers solid coverage across the back). Shoulder strap length adjustable from 45-85 cm, catering for a range of body sizes and allowing for use with harnesses and gear. Ideal alternative to a belt when wearing heavy protective trousers or working with climbing harnesses. Why It MattersChainsaw trousers often weigh more than standard work trousers, due to the additional protective layers and padding. A conventional belt may not always provide the best support, especially when combining with climbing harnesses or other gear. The Arbortec braces help distribute the weight better, reduce slippage, and increase comfort — allowing you to stay focused on the job rather than on adjusting your trousers. Usage Scenarios Arborist or tree surgeon wearing protective chainsaw trousers who also uses a climbing harness. Forestry and woodland workers needing secure trousers support during long hours. Maintenance of grounds, parkland, or any job where heavy protective trousers are required. Anyone looking for a more comfortable alternative to belts when wearing suspended protective gear. Technical Specifications Material: Heavy-duty elastic webbing (5 cm width) Back piece length: Approx. 27 cm (some listings show 13 cm version for certain variants) Shoulder strap adjustable length: 45-85 cm Finish: Soft comfort finish to reduce abrasion and increase wear-comfort Colour variants: Typically black; some retailers list alternate colours (e.g., green/black) Care & Maintenance Tips When first fitting, adjust both shoulder straps to a comfortable length — ensure they are secure but not too tight. If you wear a climbing harness, check that the braces fit comfortably underneath or integrate well without interfering. Periodically check the steel adjusters for tightness and wear — elastic straps can loosen over time. To clean, follow Arbortec’s garment care recommendations: keep away from heavy detergents and avoid high heat drying to maintain elasticity.
