Got my chaps, gloves, face shield with ear protection today. I'm feeling a little more at ease. Need to get some steel toed boots, and I'll be a little more at ease.
Best $120 I've spent in a while.

I started wearing chaps for the first time this year. I am finding them to be more comfortable than I expected, help out when working in briars, and certainly make things safer when doing higher risk jobs like limbing.
You have made a good investment.

Could bleed out if you hit the wrong area and you are alone.

What shoes do you wear?
Not as good a set as I should, just a pair of older steel toe jobs I picked up from tractor supply.
That sounds good. Steel toed is good.
It's like anything, there could always be more protection (like wearing an actual set of chainsaw boots or full versus partial chaps, etc, etc.)
But making an honest and conscious attempt at safety which may vary based upon what the activity is, is far better than what most do.

Silly question, but do those chaps go down to the tops of your boots ? If not ,you might want to trade them for a set that do . When you bend at all to cut the ones you have look like they'll expose your lower legs .
Could be just my bad eyes . Alway measure chaps from the belt-line ,not the inseam .
Personally I'd considered them too short to be effective ,and get a pair that hit the boot tops . But that's just me . If your happy with them , great . Enjoy cutting ! !They cut off 6 inches above the ankles.

Here's my new safety gear. Tried it on the day I got 'em and had my assistant take a picture. Dorky yes, but here's what I got. chaps, gloves, face shield, and ear protection. Had to pose with my saw of course
LOL! That is a whole new look to a desk jockey.
Do yourself a favor, if you want to keep your job, don't try out the saw on the office furniture! Office managers don't really take a liking to that!
