Hey guys I wanted to hear your thoughts on what ppe. What do you think is worth while and why. also what is not worth the investment.
I have purchased some ppe and some things I like some I look to replace right away.
Chaps vs pants?
Chainsaw gloves or other gloves?
Helmet
I really like a helmet with the face shield and ear protection all in one. Just would like to find a little more comfortable one.
Chaps I have cover well but also get snagged by brush and other stuff as well as basically have to take them off to pee.
Gloves I dislike the Husqvarna chainsaw gloves. They left hand ends up trying to push of my the fingers.
I do like the Echo Kevlar gloves but are not safty rated so really doubt they would actually do much for stopping a serious injury. However the dexterity and fit is very nice and are comfortable over a fairly wide range. Please share your experience and opinions I am sure many would like to make the wise decision the first time because frankly this gear is expensive.
