I like the Labonville chaps. Then again, I only recently started using them.
Rep'd for the 'Started Using Chaps'. You need those legs to walk on ....

same here i can't climb good with them on but if i'm on the ground i'll put a pair on incase the saw kicks back or something.
Seems like the bigger danger while climbing is arms and chest not legs. Thoughts?
I'd appreciate some information on the following chaps. I haven't included all of the written info, but hopefully the important info:
Orange color
SNAKE BITE PROOF on right leg
CHAINSAW RESISTANT on left leg
A.P.A. 92-A-12 Class A, 11BF
tag Made in the USA
tag Made with KEVLAR Brand Fiber Du Pont
tag Bailey's Safety Division
tag 1000 Denier, 100% Cordura Nylon, Urethane coated wind and rain repllent, 2 ply woven Kevlar, 1 ply needle felt Kevlar, 1 ply lining: 65% CTN, 35% POLY.
So one legs chainsaw resistant and the others snake-proof? what happens when a snake sneaks up on your left side and bites you? You might accidentally hit your right leg with your saw
It looks as if they are 3-ply chaps, personally I'd look for something with another layer or two
I have a novice type question regarding chaps. And yes, I do have some and wear them.
Do the chaps twirl around your leg if the saw hits them? It's always made me a little nervous that even wearing them I could end up with the saw gnawing my leg because the chaps spun around, leaving my leg exposed.

Thanks for the responses.
I was thinking they seem to be 'minimal' chaps, but since I bought 'em I'll use 'em. Maybe I'll get my wife to sew some chainmail or something similar to the front of 'em , or I'll take Jay up on his offer :msp_thumbup:.
ANY chap is better than NONE!!
Heck, I've seen guys in HOT weather with SHORTS AND chaps on... that's SMARTER than JUST a pair of pants, that's for sure... I bet it's cooler, and WAY safer than just pants...

I think there's a guy in Canada who wears nothing under his chaps , and has posted photos to prove it .
