Hello folks,
I already found some Labonville chaps and Youngstown gloves from Bailey's. But, I need some face/head protection. Maybe even some upper body protection? Of course, I'm trying to save money, but I want whatever is going to be really, really good.
Head/face: I've got two nice hardhats, safety glasses, and earmuffs. I've been looking at universal adapters and wire mesh shields for the hats . Would that be adequate or would getting an integrated system be better? It would definitely save me some money going with the former, but whatever's going to be the safest and most durable. For either; brands, sources, best bang for buck?
Upper body: Not sure what to do here. I see vests, sleeves, and some "shirts". I don't care about anything else but safety in regards to this. However, not sure what I really need. I cut firewood at home out in the woods. That's it. But, I'm almost always by myself doing this..... although not too far from the house within whistle distance. Wife's always home.
Any input/suggestions would be grand. My head is swimming at the options.
