I was surprised to find that there are basically no chainsaw protective jackets. One old thread asked whether there were jackets, I went to the links that were recommended, and those jackets are basically all no longer sold.

I haven't even gone to the Stihl site to see the price on theirs.
I wonder about anybody's thoughts on a motorcycle protective jacket for chainsaw use. The mesh ones for hot weather normally don't have protection up on your chest, front-side of your arm, and neck where you would want it. So they are generally not going to be any good for it. But the colder weather ones do. There are also leather ones, of course, that can take serious damage from the road.
