It was so easy to order the perfect gift. The Proyama chaps were delivered to my door in a few days. They were a good fit and he feels much better about using the chainsaw with the additional safety equipment. I liked that the chaps could be adjusted to fit so I didn't have to worry about size. I also like the way the chaps were packaged, they were easy to wrap. I will definitely shop on line from amazon in the future.
I think these are available at Amazon but not sure about Lowes.
I use a 6" sawzall metal cuttimg blade (fine tooth) to clear the grooves on my bars.
Works great every time.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
That’s funny people who do videos understand the end. Every time I go to make a video I swear my phone rings I just started making a habit, putting it on silent. 😂
Hahahaha..... never fails man! Thank you for being here once again friend
Outstanding topic! Great video 🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓
Thank you James! Appreciate you friend
👍👍 really good info!
Thanks CF. You know, for a person starting out, it may not be a bad kit setup especially since it wraps the lower leg better. The forester helmet and chaps was my first setup. I cut for quite a while with nothing.
They don’t look too bad for the price I agree 100%. I’m very hard on myself about wearing chaps every once in a while I get lazy and I think to myself what if this is the time the accident happens especially running some big cc saws things kick back very quick sometimes
you just never know Tom! You know guys like me and you have young kids and a wife and we gotta think about that stuff. I also want to be as good of an example as I can be for them.
@@oakiewoodsman absolutely 👍
There are three other wood yard channels I don't watch because they don't wear or use personal protection gear.
Well, thanks for watching however, I do at times cut cookies without suiting up. May even buck something. However, when it comes time to really get some work done, I make an effort to be in best practice. Thank you
Mr Joe. Very good topic.
I've used chainsaws for most of my life and have never worn a pair of chaps.
I'm a recent owner of chainsaw chaps.
Learned the hardway recently.
Good deal Mike! When I am cutting cookies, I may not from time to time. But, if I am working around limbs and moving quickly not just bucking a log, I wear them. It can happen super quickly. Have you seen the video where Indiana Doug hit is leg?
@oakiewoodsman I'm going to start making use of them.
The video where I cut my knee will post next week. It was a little scary and yep happened super quick. I got extremely lucky.
I haven't seen that episode from Indiana Doug I'll check it out.

I want to check your video out for sure. The link i posted is to Indiana Dougs video. Was a nice pair of black ones too!
those things saved his leg. That can happen so quick. Thanks for sharing that with me Mr Joe @oakiewoodsman
.50 Allen wrench is the best I found for cleaning your bar
Thank you for sharing!
I make my son wear chaps he doesn’t like wearing them when it’s hot 🥵 neither I’ve never worn them they never had anything like that when I grew up have a great Easter Sunday
Happy Easter Dave. Thanks for watching!
Definitely better than nothing. Seems to offer much better protection than the apron style at a very reasonable price!
For sure AP. I am serious about the heat though. I really think that I am going to appreciate a lighter weight outer shell. Of course, a person needs to factor in how they treat them. I have a tendency to treat them like knee pads at time so I am not sure these would hold up quite as well. But again, many people do not run a saw as much as you and I and certainly not nearly as much as a full time professional.
I wish I could order off Amazon I'd definitely get a pair. My guess they are much better than nothing. Only time I ever wore chaps is when I was falling being employed by an employer. That was years ago so no idea what happened to them. Anyways if I could I'd order a cheap pair!
Thank you Ted! I bet your daughter can help you out! hahaha... thanks for watching another friend!
A couple years ago I just bit the bullet and bought a pair of can swe pros and now I have three pair. I was getting lazy and not wearing my chaps so just went with pant. I'll never go bad and I'm never unprotected due to my laziness
Very good to figure something out that you can use consistently. I have heard some good things things about nice quality saw pants. Can you share approximately how much something like that is?
@@oakiewoodsman they have a few models, between 250-500 cad. I try and support canadian made products and can swe was the one and loggers use them then a bunch. If I'm going out I jusy wear those pants and don't even notice I'm wearing safety pants. I was just never wearing my chaps, I'm lake access and no help around so I was like I'm being a idiot and bought them.
good story and great testimony. Hopefully you will never "need" them and you can just wear them out!
I personally often go without a helmet and even hearing protection but I generally do wear chaps. I’ve seen what happens when a guy takes a chain to the knee. Personally depending on what your cutting conditions are like, we generally don’t want the long wrap type because the straps can get caught in low brush. Think I’m on my third pair in 30 years. The first two got retired from having to many mysterious cuts in them and I don’t think I can remember doing a single one 👍🏼
Oh, and I also just prefer them to be green that quickly turns to black with oil! Not a big fan of the orange clown suits but that’s just a personal preference 👍🏼
The low brush can certainly be an issue and I had this happen to me recently. Awareness is the most important thing when running any equipment. I will still wear them however but be more aware of my surroundings and trip hazards. Thanks for sharing that story below. CRAZY how fast it happened!
ah.... I c the green would turn dark then huh? I have been wanting to get a pair of black ones. I do however like high vis when there is equipment running around with you.
Yeah it definitely just depends. We had three guys get killed in two years including my cousin so I’d walk off a job where anyone is within two tree heights of a faller. Generally we’d go in and finish a section completely before I’d let equipment in. Can’t say what’s normal these days. Mostly I’m biased against the bright colors because I became a surveyor working next to highways and once they mandated bright vests accidents skyrocketed because traffic started watching us instead of the car in front of them. Hi vis has it’s place but it’s not for me generally. But that’s just me. But yeah, eventually they will turn dark from the bar oil. Even the orange. Good news is once they do they repel water really well and become pretty water proof 👍🏼👍🏼
@dgoodman1484 very interesting perspective for sure. Thank you
Been logging 43 years and never wore them but admit I probably should have
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a faller that wasn’t wearing them. Most are pretty cut up with is why we all wore them. Plus they kept you pants from getting covered in oil and kept from wearing out your knees. Drove a buddy to the hospital once that just took them off and to get out of there faster ran over to help the landing guy out and cut right into his kneecap. I don’t fall anymore but I still wear them for anything more than cutting up a dropped branch in the yard 🤷🏽♂️
@davidbulich1254 Thank you much for watching and sharing!
@dgoodman1484 Wow, this is quite a story. Thank you for sharing it!
Just a guess, but the "folding over" could be to allow you to adjust the length.
Agreed! A shorter person may want to fold them over.
Thank you much..... maybe I need to do that on the Husqvarna ones as they kinda bunch up on the bottom for me. Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts on this!
@driftlesshunter9200 Thank you for that as well
What I have found is, the cheap chaps will burn if they touch the muffler where as the better ones won't.
Thanks for sharing. I will be wearing these for a bit and we will see how they do!
I don't wear them in my personal life, I know I should. We have to wear them at work.
What does your work supply you with? Saw and protection?
@oakiewoodsman they have 545s, the pants are Stihl, and the chaps are Husky. They'll supply zipper back chaps because ohs doesn't like the buckle backs. They say if the chain hooks the buckle backs, it could spin the chap around the leg and expose the skin.
Interesting. Never thought about that!
Always wear chaps
That is a good idea. Thanks for watching
Love my chainsaw pants. Never liked chaps. Too easy to get snagged up in the brush
I am getting there. That recent job I did with Jason I actually got snagged on the back of the pants and took me down. Ripped my Oakie Woodsman shirt and gashed my back really deep. I hear ya! In the brush, they are a bit tough at times.
@@oakiewoodsman ya it’s no joke. You might want to check out solidur. Great chainsaw pants and a model for every budget. The breathable are awesome fyi.
Thank you!
All three of these chainsaw chaps clearly state that they do not protect against the torque created by electric chainsaws. Be aware.
I have looked into that.... and even checked the amazon listings for the Proyama and the Husqvarna. I cannot find that as true. Better yet, I have also seen numerous videos where this has been tested against electric saws and they worked as intended.
The disclaimer does however state that they are not a replacement for proper saw usage and practices. I would assume that they cannot be 100% effect 100% of the time. Just makes logical sense to me.
Here is a video from outdoord with the morgans address this

I wanted to come back and say I have found something interesting on this. In the STIHL 2021 catalog on ph 186c, it states on the bottom of the page WARNING FOR CORDED-ELECTRIC AND BATTERY CHAIN SAW USER!
The fibers may not stop the sprocket on most corded, electric chainsaws, and some battery powered chainsaws, because of the constant high torque however, to reduce the severity of injury from accidental contact with the chain STIHL recommends that leg protection be worn when operating these types of chainsaws
