I am looking to buy a pair of chainsaw chaps and some clip behind the calf others are half chaps. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I've had a few different brands and these are the best I've ever bought. Any chaps are going to be hot in the summer. But wound dressings get so itchy...so I'll stick with chaps.Labonville full wraps.
I've owned my two pairs for years & cannot remember who I bought them from...probably Sherrill Tree or Stihl. I added Carhartt suspenders clipped crossing the chest and the back so straps don't slip off the shoulders. Chaps will give you a peace of mind even though they get hot in the summer. I also wear mine when grinding stumps as we have rocky soil the grinder can throw out.I am looking to buy a pair of chainsaw chaps and some clip behind the calf others are half chaps.

I like the Lebronville chaps. Suspenders really help keep them in place. I am fairly conservative, so green is my color. Baileys chainsaw is a good place to find them. I never cut without them.I've owned my two pairs for years & cannot remember who I bought them from...probably Sherrill Tree or Stihl.

I did a lot of research when buying my chaps and came to the conclusion that all chaps are are hot and any chaps are better than no chaps. I ended up with Labonville, never had to test them against a chain but I’ve seen cuts of people that didn’t have them and I’ll take the chaps every time hot or not.I am looking to buy a pair of chainsaw chaps and some clip behind the calf others are half chaps.

I have those too. When I know I'm running a saw all day I'll wear them. But most days it is just a little here and there so it is nice to shed the chaps when I won't use the saw for an hour or more...bartlett arborist supply solidur pants are $100.00
I have the same ones and happy with them.I have a pair of Husqvarna Technical chainsaw chaps (the orange and gray ones with the full wrap over the calves). They work for me, but a bit hot in the summer.
For proper safety, get A PROPER FIT; check specs for length and waist size and HOW to measure, SUMMer hot weather, THEY CAN/ DO GET HOT FAST, SO I LIKE MY LEGS STRAPS LOOSER, but I do very little limbing/ bucking, and generally wear mine more as a sawdust apron to protect clothing. Straps behind the KNEE CAN ALSO GET VERY SKIN-IRRITATING VERY QUICK. LUCKI am looking to buy a pair of chainsaw chaps and some clip behind the calf others are half chaps. Any suggestions? Thanks.
While you are wearing them, i think they are a little cooler...but you can't take them off to take a quick break (well, you can...but best be done when working in the woods alone). That fact makes them hotter for the whole-day. I only wear them on days when I'm running saws in the woods all day...which I try to schedule around the hottest days. We are able to do that because that kind of woodland work is only a small portion of the work we do.im curious about arborist pants, are they actually protective and much cooler with good airflow?
