Looking for kevlar arm chaps

[jefflovstrom]

046, My problem is with the safety nazi's. Jeff may be laughing about the full body kevlar suit, but i wouldn't be surprised to see something like that before i retire..

In 1995, I un-clipped my 020 from my belt and reached up to cut, a corymbia citradora , a euc, and it grabbed my saw and flung it up and it came down over my head. Stupid, I know, but the scar goes from my pinkie knuckle to my elbow. I cleaned it and never went to a Doctor,
Came out OK I think.
This is a pic of where it hit my hand 16 years ago. I just took this pic.

SIP makes arm chaps, sleeves that go from wrist to elbow.
I think its a more European thing, they are available if you search for them.

I have sometimes considered one for my left arm when pruning with the Silky...a long hot day doing all handsaw work has led to plenty of nicks and dings with the Zubat, but then its just a matter of paying attention, but gloves spare the thumb and forefinger so, why not?
