A broad range of body sizes and statures is covered through the use of elasticated waistbands, elastic materials and smaller sizes.

The long zipper fastens at the top. Simply step in with your shoes and close the zip.

Reflective details not only look great, but also increase visibility in dark conditions.

Zip-off trouser leg ideal for use in summer temperatures.

Zip-off sleeves ideal for use in summer temperatures or as a practical vest.

Adjustable ventilation openings can be opened or closed as needed. This enables individual adjustment for a comfortable temperature, depending on physical activity and outside temperature.

Integrated ventilation openings on the jacket enable body heat to escape, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable climate.

Integrated ventilation openings on the trousers enable body heat to escape, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable climate.

Instead of being sewn together, cut protection in the crotch is connected by an elastic insert; this offers optimal stretching even when performing extreme lunging movements.

An elasticated crotch insert provides optimum freedom of movement.

Partially made up of flexible inserts to ensure high comfort in the movement zones.

Stretch zones made of ProElast enable a close fit without restricting freedom of movement. This results in less fatigue as you work and a comfortable fit. Ideal for climbing or competition.

Partially made up of highly breathable material for good ventilation and a pleasant body climate.

Seamlessly incorporated functional zones for an optimum body climate.

Reinforcements in areas subject to particular wear.

Reinforcement in the areas of the jacket that are subject to particular wear.

Reinforcement in the areas of the trousers that are subject to particular wear.

Special antibacterial treatment to prevent unpleasant odours.

STIHL clothing can be washed at 60°C. This is important not only for reasons of hygiene, but also for removing stubborn resin stains. 

Specially designed outer fabric offers high comfort, with soft cotton on the inside and robust nylon on the outside. The material keeps out wind and allows rain to roll off. Ideal for the winter season.

Made from leather.

At least 1/3 high-visibility orange ensures better visibility and avoids accidents in poor visibility conditions.

One-way stretch fabric stretches lengthwise or crosswise for freedom of movement.

Fully elastic fabric stretches in all directions for optimum comfort and freedom of movement.

The backs of the trousers are made of elasticated material for optimum freedom of movement.

The body always feels comfortable and dry thanks to water-repellent material on the inside and water-absorbing material on the outside.

Breathable material lets water vapour through to the outside and fresh air to the inside, for pleasant climate comfort.

Breathable and waterproof material thanks to a membrane on the inside. The material allows water vapour to escape and remains dry.

The highly insulating and quick-drying material is particularly suitable for winter.

The quick-drying functional fabric protects against hypothermia or colds caused by air permeation.

Water-repellent material causes raindrops to roll off, keeping you dry for longer.

Waterproof, weatherproof material protects against moisture. It is used in certain areas, e.g. in the lower trouser area.

Oil-repellent material.

Water- and oil-repellent material allows raindrops to roll off meaning it stays dry for longer; in addition, the clothing takes longer to become contaminated with oil.

A very lightweight outer fabric is achieved through the use of special functional fibres, to offer enhanced wearing comfort and less fatigue.

Clothing complies with EN ISO 20471. There are 3 classes, with class 3 offering the best protection. The classifications are determined from the defined area of the high-visibility orange component and reflective strips. At STIHL, class 3 is achieved by combining high-visibility trousers and jackets that are each high-visibility class 2.

The patented “HS leg protection” hedge trimmer protection can be inserted into the inner pocket and offers protection in the thigh and knee area against pricking and pinching injuries from the hedge trimmer.

The patented “FS leg protection” impact guard can be inserted into the inner pocket. The special material structure is breathable and distributes impact across the material surface. Impact from objects propelled at speeds over 500 km/h is absorbed.

In STIHL clearing saw trousers, the entire front leg area is protected with a special material to cushion the impact of flying debris.

Both a standard knee pad and the STIHL knee pad can be inserted into a pocket to protect the knee, for example when gardening, laying tiles, or spending time in the workshop.

Highly robust material prevents injuries and thread pulls caused by thorns.

The highly breathable tick protection connects trousers and shoes, to prevent ticks penetrating the clothing.

Robust material prevents abrasion in areas subject to particular wear.

Ran protection provides protection against rain and wind when working outdoors, and is comfortable to wear because the material allows evaporated sweat to pass through it. EN 343 specifies these two parameters as water resistance (top number) and water vapour permeability (bottom number). The determined values are divided into 3 performance levels, with class 3 offering the highest performance.
