If I had it I would probably atleast wear the chaps considering how much time I spend cutting with no one even remotely close by.
You can buy basic chainsaw chaps for under $50. Better ones $100+Labonville chap inserts are the way to go. Snap right into your Carhartts/ jeans.
An advantage of chaps, over pants, etc., is that you can keep them with your equipment; put them on and take them off if not cutting all day, taking breaks, etc.; can let a family member use them if they are using your saw; etc.
