It is very important to have the right clothing for the work at hand. Whether that means a cut protection jacket, forestry jacket, weather protection jacket or functional shirt: as well as serving a protective function, comfortable workwear also makes work more pleasant. That is why, at STIHL, we pay attention to high functionality and quality in our jackets and shirts.
When working in the rain, the only thing that helps is having high-quality, weatherproof workwear. A STIHL raincoat will help keep you warm and dry throughout the day. It makes a practical weather protection jacket and, thanks to the stretchy fabric, you can quickly pull it on over your actual workwear to prevent it from getting wet. Taped seams ensure the rain just drips off, while the hood and concealed zips do a great job at keeping the wind out.
A high-visibility and cut-retardant jacket provides added protection when you're working with a chainsaw. The breathable fabric incorporates proven cut protection in the chest, shoulder, arm and back areas; as soon as the chainsaw touches areas with cut protection, a bundle of fibres is pulled out of the top layer of fabric, blocking the chain sprocket and causing the chainsaw to come to a stop. This considerably reduces the risk of injury.
Some of our jackets are also available in high-visibility colours. With a high proportion of high-visibility orange and reflective elements, you will be seen even in low light, when you're working at the roadside or in poor weather conditions. Our forestry clothing also features large areas of high-visibility orange. Our forestry jackets are made from high-quality, easy-care fabric which is dirt-resistant, and they include numerous functional details such as zipped chest pockets.
If you are exposed to different weather conditions in your work, you should go for functional shirts. The extra-light, breathable material dries quickly and keeps skin cool by quickly transporting moisture away. This is where the onion principle comes in – it's all about layering. Wear a fleece jacket over the functional shirt and you'll be protected from the wind, while the work jacket also helps against the cold.
Why keep your functional shirts and functional jackets just for work? Their qualities are also ideal for sports such as hiking and mountaineering. Use our size guide for personal protective equipment to make sure you order the right size.
