Pete gave legendary climber and video educator Lawrence Schultz (@the.schultz.effect) a pair of Zeros, Ascends and DefenderPROs. He gave them a run for a few months and gave us his verdict. Find out what he had to say.
Here's the background on the chainsaw pants shown.
Zeros
Looking for the coolest chainsaw pants on the planet? Get Gen2 Zeros.
Cooling features include two high efficiency fixed side vents with an open leg design for maximum air flow. The incredibly breathable outer incorporates Nilit Breeze fibers to wick heat from the body.
Staying cool is also about reducing effort while working. The Zero shell offers 140% 4-way stretch for maximum flex with ultra low weight at just 2 lb 3 oz (Medium).
Durability is a big focus. The outer is amazingly tough with a high tenacity nylon rip stop. The super tough Dyneema fabric on the right calf increases durability where the hanging chainsaw causes premature wear. Upgraded zippers and elasticized thread in the seat reduce the risk of failure in these areas.
All this is delivered while improving safety performance. Zeros exceed US standards for coverage by 15% with ankle to waist protection and outperform the minimum chainsaw threshold speed by 25% (3,500 ft/min v 2,750 ft/min US minimum). Light weight does not mean less safe.
Choose front only or the added protection of front and 360 calf protection. Now available in short leg length for Zero front protection style.

Ascends
If you think Zeros are great then you'll love Ascends. The all new Ascend Gen2 chainsaw pants builds on a Clogger classic with a new streamlined, lighter design and ultra durable construction. This true seasonal pant for the cooler months offers ultra durable construction, water-resistant coverage and a high-back waist design.
