<div class="bbWrapper">I have seen pants and chaps. Does any company make chainsaw bib overalls? I like wearing bibs at work and when I cut. I hate to go to the extra step and bulk of putting chaps on over them. Any thoughts?</div>
chainsaw bibs?

<div class="bbWrapper">I've never found them. <br />
I used to get the pants one size bigger w/suspenders and wear sweat pants under them . Warmer than bibs and better movement.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Stihl makes 'em. I have never seen them, but my dealer says he can order them. I was thinking they would be good for a little extra protection when lifting rounds or splits up onto my trucks. They are just over $100.<br />

<div class="bbWrapper">It's a little hard to tell but those Stihl chaps look like regular chaps with a chest piece attached. In the little picture they don't seem to have a seat and complete coverage all around. Better than just regular chaps but still not a complete overall type bib. I wonder why they're so hard to find?</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">These suggestions look great! I am cheap, so I might connsider the pants w/suspenders. I forgot , I have seen that method before and forgot all about it.</div>

</blockquote>I know you said around $100, but has anyone actually priced these out. I went on their site but didn't see any prices. I stopped by my local Stihl dealer but he didn't have any in stock. He looked it up in his book and said they'd go for around $165. Seems a bit steep considering it's about 3 times the price of regular chaps.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">If you follow the link in my post it will take you to local dealer pages. My local dealer has them for $104.99. Maybe you guys North of the border get to pay extra? I guess its a trade off for your universal health care.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">I put in a zip code for Duluth, and all the dealer links State-side just say "call for pricing". The price I gave was <i>before</i> taxes. We get to pay another 13% HST on top of that.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Oh, and I was looking at their camo Bib Style Hunter Protective Chaps. Figure that green camo won't show the dirt so bad.<br />

You'd probably have to buy a whole container full from China.</div>
