Description
Design B of the standard EN 381-5 was chosen by the South African Forestry Industry, supported by FESA and SABS, due to its femoral artery protection. If a chainsaw operator sustains a cut to the femoral artery, they could bleed to death within seconds.
The calf coverage is an extension of the chain clogging pad. While it should be viewed as a comfort feature, it offers some protection. Studies documented in the South African Chainsaw Safety and Operating Handbook (produced by FESA & ICFR) reveal that 12% of leg injuries occur in the calf area. Only our B+ range offers both EU certification and calf protection.
