[QUOTE="TheJollyLogger, post: 5350725, member: 36723"] [ATTACH=full]423224[/ATTACH] There's a lot ofmisconceptions on how chaps work. The kevlar isn't really there to be cut proof, it's there to clog the saw and stop the chain before it can go all the way through. As far as chainsaw boots go, I think they are designed with cut resistance in mind, but I don't see kevlar laces doing much. The most important safety is to adjust your stance so that your feet aren't in the plane of the cut, and excercise good saw control. PPE is a good backup, but not a substitute for good technique.
