If you cut when its at all warm I think the pants would be too hot.
JW Younger and me.
Always got em on.
I bought the Labonville full wraps from Bailey's. The're very high quality, with and excellent fit so that one can move with ease on steep brush covered hillsides. Where I'm cutting is an 1 1/2 down a bad four wheel drive road, and spotty cell phone coverage. You could bleed to death before you got to help. I'm kinda fond of breathing.
Thanks love the feedback and storys. I am considerining the pants now, any issues?THOUGHTS???
Just watch the sizing.
28 inch chaps are a total of 32 inches long, the 30's are 34 inches and the 32's are 36 inches long when you add in the width of the waistband.
I've cut my own firewood for over thirty years and never had a chainsaw accident, but I bought a pair of orange Husky chaps this year. I figure there's no reason to push my luck. I put them on anytime I'm going to use a saw. Yes, they're heavy and hot, but I don't cut any wood until September.I've never owned a pair of chaps, i guess after 16 year of tree work i've been lucky.
I used to own a pair of the husky pro forest pants. They had an elastic waistband that started to lose its elasticity. So I stopped wearing them and bought a pair of Husky chaps(blue ones). I did like the pants, but like others said once they are on they stay on which makes them hot in the summer months. I like the chaps a lot better. Just get something and do it before it is too late.
There hot in summer and heavy. Have to wear suspenders to keep em from pulling the pants down.Do i use them...You bet.
it's a red oak and a tornado took it out, It did demolish the builing, Luckily no body was home at the time.Stihl Sawing what kind of tree is that huge monster in your picture and did it hit the building that you can see on the left side of the pic?
