They last a few years depending on the use.
Just keep the chain off them and they`ll last a long time.

And try not to poor oil down them, I understand that degrades the balistic fabric.
I got saw pants for bucking operations. Don't like chaps.

Chaps vs pants
I prefer pants as well except when it is really hot and I do not need them on all the time-the chaps are easy to throw on over a pair of pants, and remove them when done.

Bibs
Believe Husky used to sell them up here-I find it just as easy to fall a pair of Carhardts over my pants when it is cooler out-they are a lot easier to wash than the pants anyways.

Years ago I bought a pair of chaps that had a zipper in each leg and a waist strap that snapped with a plastic buckle. Replaced that pair and couldn't find anything similar so I wound up buying this PITA pair with no zippers and at least 8 snaps. Takes too long to put them on. Are there any chaps available that go on/ come off easy?

Chaps
The ones I have are attached by a plastic buckle at the waist and have two smaller buckles on each leg-I'd tell you who made them but my bro- in law has borrowed them. Bought em here in Ottawa.

The zipper is a good idea.
Taking a step back or to the side with my chaps on usually finds a branch caught insde the leg area.

I got a pair of orange chaps I bought at the stihl dealer. Couple little nicks in them from the chain, not running, just brushed against it. They were orange, now a really faded red. Had them for a good 4 years now.

I think them lite weight bailey's are the best they just will only make the summer i like the stihl chaps for the winter, can't go for the pants though.
