ADVANCE Apron Chaps
Combine safety and comfort with breathable, durable and lightweight Apron Chaps.
The modern styling and breathable design of our ADVANCE Apron Chaps deliver both the professional chainsaw protection you require and the lightweight comfort you’re looking for. Constructed from a revolutionary lightweight and breathable protective fabric (AVERTIC® Pro Lite by Engtex®), these chaps are designed with cut resistance comparable to products currently in the STIHL Pro Mark™ line. Enhanced protection is provided by SuperFabric® abrasion-resistant knees and a new design that wraps further around the operator’s legs. Water-resistant materials add comfort and protection from the elements, a zippered pocket provides secure storage for needed items and reflective trim enhances visibility. And the best part? Unlike many competitors, our ADVANCE Apron Chaps are machine washable! Safety cannot wait.

Important Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
These protective garments contain pads of cut-retardant material designed to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the body parts covered by the pads in the event of contact with a rotating chain. The fibers in the pads provide extra layers of material and are designed to rip apart if they come into contact with the moving chain and to clog the sprocket and stop the chain in certain circumstances. In some contacts, the pads may stop the chain. In other contacts, the pads will resist the cutting process only for a fraction of a second. The actual degree of protection afforded will vary with the speed of the chain at the time of contact, the power and torque of the saw, the design of the chainsaw sprocket and similar factors. Follow the washing instructions. Improper care may destroy cut-retardant properties of the material.
WARNING FOR ELECTRIC CHAINSAW USERS!
The fibers will not stop the sprocket on most electric chainsaws because of their constant high torque.
Important Information All STIHL chainsaw protective apparel meets or exceeds OSHA Regulation 1910.266 for Personal Protective Equipment for chainsaw operators.
NOTE: Chaps are measured by overall length from the waist down. All chaps have a tough outer shell of oil/water-resistant nylon treated with rain/stain repellent.
WARNING FOR CORDED ELECTRIC AND BATTERY CHAINSAW USERS! The fibers may not stop the sprocket on most corded electric chainsaws and some battery-powered chainsaws because of the constant high torque. However, to reduce the severity of injury from accidental contact with the chain, STIHL recommends that leg protection be worn when operating these types of chainsaws.
WARNING! Improper use of any power tool may cause serious
or fatal injury. Read, understand and follow carefully the operating
and safety instructions in your instruction manual before using such products.
STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.
