Not in safety standards. Or I should say in enforcement of those standards.

Unfortunately I have to wear saw pants at my job, I always climbed in jeans before, never shorts. Its not that bad, getting used to it, no need to wear saw pants climbing, if you get cut it will be somewhere on your upper body. I always wear saw pants or chaps on the ground, thats where they should be worn.diltree said:Monkey....what good climber wears chaps while climbing???? I will be honest with you ; I wear shorts when its anything over 70 degrees and I love It!!!

trevmcrev said:but doing lots of fine cutting in all sorts of odd positions doing crown cleaning/reduction type work you do often make cuts near your legs and its worth being protected there IMO.
I also like the extra padding on the front of my legs for leaning a knee on a branch etc.

Who? me thats who, I have a pressure bandage on me at all times. The main artery in your leg, the femoral, is pretty hard to hit climbing.a_lopa said:i strongly disagree with you on this issue clearance,whos going to put the bandage on when your 80' up?no-one your another stat in the tree climbers dead book.ive held a bandage to a saw cut(not mine) to a leg cut it just missed the main arterie.trust me youl be dead before you could apply it if you did hit that arterie.as ive said theres main arteries in your legs have a think about it,i guess you wont thou.
