Zero chainsaw trousers achieve the previously impossible. Cool, lightweight and rugged. The women's edition of the Zero was the first purposely designed chainsaw protective trouser for the professional female arborist. Shape, fit and comfort has been considered for the best possible fit.
Now available in the Gen2 version, the new Women's Zero embraces your movements: you are able to stretch, climb and jump freely. No need to be worried about tears and rips – the outer fabric of the garment has been reinforced. Of course, Zero's fit and style stays the same. You will look good in the trees… or on the ground!

Care Guide
Empty all pockets for sawdust and other debris. Inspect and close all zips. For sap, use rubbing alcohol to gently remove. If very dirty, soak in a bucket with lukewarm water and gently hose down. Use Citrosqueeze in the soak to remove oil.
Use a gentle wash cycle such as Permanent Press, Delicate or Synthetic with a water temperature of no more the 40 C / 105 F. Use a mild liquid detergent with no bleach or fabric softener. Look for detergents labelled “free and clear” or a detergent formulated for synthetics like Nikwax Tech Wash. Don’t put the pants in a dryer. Air dry out of the sun.
