I was out all day Saturday working on my bedding areas. 1/2 way into it I had a nice wake up call and didn't realize how close the blade was to my leg before letting the blade stop. The chaps for sure saved a trip to the ER to get stitched up.
Chaps are money well spent. I have a nasty habit of going way to fast during cutting especially limbing trees before chunking them up. I have many pairs of jeans that have rips in them. I finally got smart and bought some chaps.
