Same here except I need XXL in many gloves.... I don't even have big hands.
So far only time I needed chaps was when I caught the end of the saw dawg on my leg while moving my 460. (have a set of big "western" dawgs on it) The chaps didn't do a damn bit of good, tore right through them and got my leg.
So, you really didn't need chaps, but chainmail or platemail in that case.
