FORESTER Chainsaw Chaps Apron-Style 40" Black with Reflective Trim — 12-Layer Cut-Resistant, Adjustable Waist & Pocket

FORESTER chainsaw chaps are apron-style leg protectors with multi-layer cut-resistance and a utility pocket, engineered to reduce leg injury risk during chainsaw work while meeting professional safety standards.

Built for arborists, loggers and serious homeowners, these chaps combine a tough, water- and oil-repellent outer shell with internal layers that arrest a spinning chain. They are UL-listed and designed to meet OSHA and industry leg-protection standards so you get commercial-grade coverage without heavy, restrictive gear. The open-back apron design slips on fast and adjusts for a secure fit from waist to ankle.

How do these chaps protect me from a chainsaw kickback?

The chaps use multiple internal layers that are designed to tangle and stop a moving chain, slowing the cutting action before it reaches skin or clothing. While no garment can guarantee complete protection, these layers significantly reduce cutting force in many strike scenarios.

• 12 internal protection layers engineered to arrest chain movement
• High-denier oxford outer resists abrasion and repels fluids
• Meets OSHA and ASTM leg-protection benchmarks for professional work

Will these chaps fit my waist and height?

FORESTER chaps are made to fit most adults with an adjustable waist range that accommodates a broad set of sizes and removable strap options to lock them in place. They come in short, regular and long lengths and include a flip-belt feature to fine-tune coverage around the ankles.

• Adjustable waist fits approximately 28"–44" (sizes vary by model)
• Available lengths: short, regular, long with 2" flip-belt shortening
• Leg straps secure chaps during active movement or awkward positions

Can these be used in wet or dirty conditions and still perform?

The outer fabric is a robust oxford weave treated to resist water and oil, helping maintain functionality and ease of cleaning on the job. The repellent finish keeps the protective layers drier so they perform consistently during outdoor tasks, though routine inspection after heavy exposure is recommended.

• 1200-denier oxford outer resists water, oil and abrasion
• Deep utility pocket for tools and small accessories on the go
• Lightweight construction to reduce fatigue during long shifts

Who should choose these chaps: Professionals and serious DIYers who work with gas-powered chainsaws in forestry, tree care, logging, land clearing or property maintenance. These chaps are intended as protective clothing to lower injury risk in many contact scenarios; they are UL-listed and built to meet OSHA and ASTM standards for professional use. Note: they are not recommended as protection with high-torque electric chainsaws—always follow safe operating practices and pair chaps with proper footwear, eye and hearing protection for best results.
