Hello,
I have been looking every place I can think of. Running a 200-t all day you need them.
Anyone where them and where did you get them?

These threads always make me laugh, kevlar can only do so much, and if you are in the air and can't keep from cutting your arms and hands, what's going to keep you from cutting your climbing line or lanyard.

Ansell makes sleeves made from a product called dyneema. We sell them to metal fab companies for sheet metal work and custom glass shops.
I have one sample sleeve laying around, I may try and sleeve it onto a 4 x 4 and hit it with my saw.....not sure if it would work well, but would be better than a cotton shirt.
Kevlar sleeves are good for knife cut resistant, but I doubt they would work well for chainsaw.....
There is another product but I don't know who makes it. It is black grey and silver and has silver hexagon pcs on it for armour against cuts.
I may have one of those too I will look
Kevlar climb line, duh!
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate sliced climbing lines? It never fails that I will cut it 10-20 feet below the splice while making a finish cut in a messy canopy. Yesterday it was a nice shiny 150 hank of HiVee Poison Ivy I got last month. I was up in some bean-pole ash that are declining from over irrigation, seems a loop was caught in the chain catcher......

Chainsaw pants have Kevlar; half a dozen layers or so. But it is woven into the pants differently than what police would use.. the pants are not designed to stop punctures.. and a knife would go right through them. But they will stop a chainsaw dead in its tracks. It is designed to be used when running at part throttle as per most specs, as most injuries happen on throttle up or throttle down apparently. But I have tried old ones at full throttle with a 372.. and it cut through the pants and into wood about 1/4" or so (less than 1/2") before stopping chain. Pants are only good for one hit.. and a bit of work cleaning out saw.. but they do work. The saw will not cut the Kevlar threads, and they are designed to quickly jam the chain so it will not turn. Depending on bar length and there it hits.. you get the chain travel into saw body before it jams.. so maybe a foot of travel or less in most cases or less if hitting leg area.
