Doing some clean up work along a fence line with my saw today and I screwed up somehow. It wasn't kickback, it was just me not paying enough attention when working in the thick brush. Anyhow, the saw contacted my left knee and the chaps saved the day. Best $80 I ever spent! Fortunately, the saw had slowed a good bit, so I didn't have to spend an hour digging Kevlar out of my saw, and the chaps are salvageable. :msp_biggrin:
