Chainsaw Chaps — Certified Class D Protection for Serious Chainsaw Work
When you’re running a chainsaw, your legs are the most vulnerable part of your body. The 39.7" Apron-Style Chainsaw Chaps deliver Class D certified protection that meets both ASTM F1897-20 and F3325-20 safety standards — giving you and your employer the documented, verifiable protection required for professional forestry, arborist, logging, and land-clearing work. Built with an 8-layer fabric system — 6 layers of cut-resistant polyester/polypropylene material plus 2 cushioning layers — and an outer shell of tough 420D nylon with reinforced stitching, these chaps are engineered to catch and jam a chainsaw chain before it reaches your skin. The adjustable waist belt fits 22"–48" (55.88–121.92 cm), and the ergonomic, lightweight construction allows full mobility throughout a long workday without fatigue.
