Weekend Sale At Labonville

[Battenkiller]

I followed this link that Zapny provided and found they are having a Father's Day weekend sale - 20% off everything. I'm getting competition chaps (10-ply), all-in-one helmet, and chainsaw gloves for a little over $100.

I just stopped by at lunch and picked up a new chainsaw and a string trimmer. They have had sales in the past but this is the first time its includes saws and trimmers. One note is that the guy who runs the power equipment department said that he was planning on leaving early afternoon on Saturday so it you want toys, get there early. 20% off and no sales tax (in NH) and its effectively 25% off for folks from out of town.

I shoulda mentioned that the sale is also good for online purchases. I just put my order in and got a new bar and chain as well. Oregon PowerMatch 18" bar with pro 73 JG chain for $45, about the price of the bar alone elsewhere. Good time to stock up.

Looks like good stuff. What's the advantage of the wrap vs regular chaps?

They supposedly stay in place better. I have tree trunk legs, so I'm a bit concerned the regular ones will keep sliding off to the side. They also protect the back of your calf and Achilles tendon area. I've never worn either type, so I'll have to see how I like them.
