Does anyone know of a source for chainsaw safety gear in woman's sizes? My wife is 5' and 100# and men's sizes just ain't gonna do it.

Labonville makes some very short chaps with adjustable waist. They also make them at sites around New England. They might make you a custom pair.

Hi Gimpy, I'm that size and I think the chaps should adjust down to that size around the waist. The bottoms can be turned up.

So, why does a petite little thing like that need to cut the family's firewood? Actually all kidding aside, I wore chaps when running the splitter.
Gotta know when to fell em, know when to tell em, know when to walk away, know when to run....

sprucebunny,might be right. They say to measure from the belt to instep,28inches is the shortest they sell.

There's an old saw shop back home that has a pile of safety pants with kevlar pads in size 28" waist . Inventory he bought back in the 80's for a couple of cut & skid crews who were little Frenchmen from Quebec.
Their size was deceiving but they could out work and out produce loggers twice their size :D
