Labonville Chaps
Yes, it is the same but less thickness. I recently discussed the same question with them and ended up buying the competition wrap-around chaps (10 layers). I know it is more expensive but not when compared to the alternative.
Here are a couple of videos showing chap testing which make a good argument.

I bought a pair of the stihl chaps recently.
Got them for 78.00 plus tax. OK price. Wife wrapped them for Christmas.
I just bought them because my dealer is going out of the Stihl business
(best dealer in the area, supposed to be number 1 in sales in the state)
When I walked in I looked at the wall and asked " Where are the saws ? "
He said that Stihl had become so difficult to deal with that he was going to another line. And this guy has sold Stihl for years.
Go Figure ?

I need to shop at your shop.
And these were marked down too....
Reminds me of when I payed 64.00 for a replacement handle for my 260
Later I out they are about 24.00
What a deal !
There's no doubt in my mind that they have the best saws,
but when it comes to their dealers and prices, they've lost their minds.

yeah and our shop isn't even the cheapest around here. Some things they are really crazy for though.
Like their 18+ dollar spark plugs.
