Well, now I know what's required in these parts:
Boots with saw protection, pants with saw protection (really hot in the summer), helmet with a brim, hearing protection and neck strap. Gloves, saw protection not required.
And there's an addition to this since 2013; you are required, when working professionally, to wear a visibilty vest or similar that meets EN471 regulations.
I need to get me a new par of chainsaw pants since my Stihl pants are black, and climbing in sunny weather in the summer is like working in a sauna...... :msp_scared:
