My SIP chainsaw trousers were a gift from my wife as I had trouser envy when I saw hers - a huge improvement on the basic bitch ones I used to wear and overheat in.
Am also a fan of the meindl boots, so comfy I have forgotten I have them on and gone on dog walks in them.

Cheers for the info, nice one

Pfanner or arbortec trousers. Nothing else is worth the money. Get 18months out of a pair if you keep on top of sewing up rips.
Petzl lid with chipper spec ear defenders is the minimum you want, you’ll look a dork in anything less... Keep it clear and wash the foam forehead band.
I wore standard black meindl chainsaw boots, the climber spec red ones are a bit spendier. A year or 18months per pair of you treat them well. The red ones look ace but the soles are soft and sticky which is great for climbing but they wear out quicker on the ground. Make sure you can wear 2 pairs of socks comfortably in them.
A good set of thermals and loads of pairs of gloves plus one pair cable handling/foundry gloves for brambles.
Either invest in an arbortec waterproof or just accept that you’ll kill cheap ones every couple of weeks.
Can’t help you with tickets se but any arb questions just ask. I recently left after 12yrs of it.
