Good protection, but not for long.,

"These chaps are first rate for safety, but almost every (plastic) clip that holds them on has broken. I wear them whenever I pick up the saw, and cut a minimum of 3 cords of wood each year. This is my second year with these chaps, but will have to replace them if I cannot figure out how to mend the clips. Unlike other reviewers, I have not had a problem with the fit (5'10"/155 lbs.) Warning: mice love the innards for nests!"

"I bought these as i do a lot of chainsawing, cut and split my own wood for heat in VT.
I was cutting a dirtbike trail, it was loaded with vines, The saw was spinning and a vine caught my leg and the saw came down on my knee.
The chaps stopped the blade instantly, as cut through the nylon and caught in the fiberous innners of the chaps. I would not have cut my leg off, but I would have definatly been on the way to the ER for stitches and lost alot of blood as I am 45 minutes away.
I hope it never happens again and I taped it shut. They are good to go again. I don't like the way they slide outward on my legs and I hope they break in and stay in place. My femoral artory can become exposed. Still a great nesesaty for any logger.

"I have used these chaps several times under different conditions and find that they are:
* Easy to put on and adjust.
* Comefortable
* Lightweight
I would deffinately recommend these chaps to other homeowners as a necessary piece of safety equipment."

AO Safety Chainsaw Chaps,

"The chaps had a big red AO Safety logo on them, which make them look foolish.
I would be embarrassed to wear them, and they are still in the box....."
