Hello,
Can anyone recommend a comfortable pair of chainsaw chaps? What are people using? Brands? What do you like about them? Etc. Thanks for the advice in advance.

Our company uses Stihl brand chaps, for no other reason than I can by them localy and prefer to do so when possible. They where descent and we have had no problems with them. I think they are around $50-$65 something like that.

I use and love Sthil wrap around chaps. I'm sure you could find the same thing with out the name cheaper. I feel more protected etc. and I also bumped up to the nine ply versus the six. Big difference in weight etc. but I can handle a few extra pounds rather than losing something useful.
