Echo Gloves: not that Safe?

Well, I have cheap black dye disease.

I've had no dye issues with the pairs I own, a friend has a pair with no issues, and ECHO has good quality products so it sounds like you got a knockoff.

I doubt anyone in China is going to the trouble of copying Echo gloves. The seller is an Echo dealer.

I am curious. How does the left hand get injured? It always seemed to me that if you are gripping the handle, your left hand should be quite safe from chain-inflicted injuries. And the saw tends to throw small branches under the saw, not on top. I wear gloves using a chainsaw primarily for vibration protection and only when it is not too hot outside. My main use of gloves is for splinter protection when handling wood. I can see it would be useful for dealing with thorns in some cases.

One handing a top handle saw and holding the branch with left hand,one kickback or slip and thats it.
