Read this review:
"I bought these as i do a lot of chainsawing, cut and split my own wood for heat in VT.
I was cutting a dirtbike trail, it was loaded with vines, The saw was spinning and a vine caught my leg and the saw came down on my knee.
The chaps stopped the blade instantly, as cut through the nylon and caught in the fiberous innners of the chaps. I would not have cut my leg off, but I would have definatly been on the way to the ER for stitches and lost alot of blood as I am 45 minutes away.
I hope it never happens again and I taped it shut. They are good to go again. I don't like the way they slide outward on my legs and I hope they break in and stay in place. My femoral artory can become exposed. Still a great nesesaty for any logger.

Oh man! A real genius, right? Just tape them shut and that tape will stop the blade, next time. Yessiree Bob! It would be funny if it wasn't for his terrible stupidity that may lead to his injury and/or death, one of these days.
FWIW, I tried to e-mail the guy, off the site, but there's no way to trace him.
