Labonville Chaps

what im wondering is are the pant inserts that labonville sells the same as the chaps they sell?

Yes, it is the same but less thickness. I recently discussed the same question with them and ended up buying the competition wrap-around chaps (10 layers). I know it is more expensive but not when compared to the alternative.

Here are a couple of videos showing chap testing which make a good argument.

Anybody had any experience with the husky chaps? Thats what i have and thankfully haven't had the chance to see how well they work yet.
 
I bought a pair of the stihl chaps recently.

Got them for 78.00 plus tax. OK price. Wife wrapped them for Christmas.


I just bought them because my dealer is going out of the Stihl business
(best dealer in the area, supposed to be number 1 in sales in the state)

When I walked in I looked at the wall and asked " Where are the saws ? "

He said that Stihl had become so difficult to deal with that he was going to another line. And this guy has sold Stihl for years.

Go Figure ?

That sounds a little high for the stihl chaps.
 
I need to shop at your shop.

And these were marked down too....


Reminds me of when I payed 64.00 for a replacement handle for my 260

Later I out they are about 24.00




What a deal !

There's no doubt in my mind that they have the best saws,
but when it comes to their dealers and prices, they've lost their minds. :ices_rofl:
