AKU Superalp Forest GTX Orange

AKU Superalp Forest Gore-Tex (AK591) – Orange

The AKU Superalp Forest Gore-Tex in Orange. EN ISO 17249:2013 Level 2 chainsaw-certified and EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 S7S rated — the compliant PPE specification for professional forestry and chainsaw operators. Gore-Tex More Seasons waterproofing keeps feet dry across all-day outdoor work in any season; the Vibram Fourà anti-static outsole grips on muddy forest tracks, wet ground, and oil-contaminated surfaces while meeting anti-static and fuel-resistance requirements; at 960g per half pair, the Forest delivers certified chainsaw protection 240g lighter than the top-range Cimbra GTX — the right choice for active forestry roles where protection and mobility both matter.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• EN ISO 17249:2013 Level 2 chainsaw certification — protects against chainsaw cuts at up to 24 m/s across the full boot (Level A all-round coverage, not front-only), meeting the mandatory PPE standard for professional chainsaw operators in the UK and EU. The only Superalp model carrying this certification
• Gore-Tex More Seasons waterproofing — three-season waterproofing built for sustained wet conditions across forestry sites, estate work, and outdoor professional roles through autumn, winter, and spring
• Vibram Fourà anti-static outsole — nitrile compound grips on wet ground, muddy forest tracks, and oil-contaminated surfaces; anti-static construction and hydrocarbon-resistant formulation meeting the EN ISO 20345 SC and FO requirements of active forestry environments
• 240g lighter than the Cimbra GTX — at 960g per half pair versus 1200g for the Level 3 Cimbra, the Forest delivers Level 2 chainsaw compliance in a more agile package suited to active site work; Cimbra is the correct choice only where Level 3 (28 m/s) certification is specifically required
• UK 4.5–13

BEST FOR

• Professional chainsaw operators and forestry contractors who require EN ISO 17249 Level 2 compliance for site access and contract work — felling, clearing, and ground-level chainsaw operations
• Estate managers, countryside officers, and Forestry England contractors needing waterproof, certified safety footwear across a full outdoor working week in all conditions
• Experienced outdoor professionals moving between chainsaw work and active field roles, where the 240g saving over Level 3 boots compounds across a full working day
