You down wit' P.P.E.? Right here on O.P.E.?

Good thread!!

Received an eye cut once playing BB in college....not a fun thing. I'm very protective of my eyes ever since.

Always wear chaps even when hot....better than results without.

Ear protection and good tight gloves.

Boots......well I wear moutaneering boots because I don't like the steel toe....one because of loss of toes and the other because they don't fit well in the crotches of trees when climbing.

I wear steel toed boots, safety glasses, long cuff TIG welding gloves (I'm a welder and it is what I have) and ear plugs. I have recently acquired a pair of chaps, but have yet to use them. I will definitely wear them when I finally break out my bowsaw...

Glasses and ear plugs. Chaps occasionally. Boots when doing anything but cutting cookies.

What he said, I like the chaps they help keep you cleaner. I just need to get into the habit of taking them.

Eye and ear protection ,always . Chaps,gloves ,boots .... Depends . If I'm limbing ,not so much . Anything else ,I'm fairly consistent . The boots are saw rated ,as they offer better protection than steel toes .

Helmet with eye protection, ear protection, radio in them.
Stihl Protection pants, boots with steel toes.
Heathed handles, no need for gloves.
