What are good chainsaw chaps for the money? and where is a good place to purchase them.
Sorry, temporary brain cramp ! Labonville is one of our site sponsors ,as well as Bailey's
Full wraps. I wear shorts when I'm out cutting anyways. The chaps will keep you warm/hot 3 out of four seasons if you get snow. 4 out of 4 if you don't get snow.
Yeah, they're hot. I take them off whenever I'm taking a break, or when I'm sharpening the chain on the saw.
Labonville is the way to go. I've looked at others and don't see quality in them like the Labonvilles.
Now, these are not an item to protect you from your own stupidity. It's for the worst case scenario slip up or unavoidable accident. Don't get complacent and think you're Superman.
Buy em n wear em
I have / use the Stihl ones...and use a few Velcro 1" strips to keep them close to my calves.
But it's all about what job you are doing...like bucking...I wouldn't use the strips...better ventilation in summer.
But I...Always have the strips on when limbing ...or in the brushy stuff...little room for error there..!!
Really considering some Labonville pants for this winter..as I've got a ton of brushwork for the FS-250 to do..!!

Get the full wraps...sure there hot, but the straps on the half-wraps will get hung up on brush and branches when yer tromping and dump ya on yer face!
What? You wear chaps for weedwacking? Come on. I run that in my shorts, I do wear steel toe boots as well.
I said.."Brushcutting..not 'weed-whacking' - BIG difference..IMHO - there's 'kick-back' occasionally and don't want in my leg!!What? You wear chaps for weedwacking? Come on. I run that in my shorts, I do wear steel toe boots as well.
