Chainsaw arm protection

[jct]

Just curious if any uses or knows of any sleaves shirts that off saw protection. Wife's been on me to add it to my ppe but most I have seen wouldn't do anything

Best arm protection is to hold on to both handles on the saw. I've seen some sleeves which are against brambles thorn etc but not saw protection.

You can get the slaves with elasticated cuffs I bought a pair but don't know where I put them . Tended to take them off after a few minutes. The Stihl jackets are good but only if it's very cold then great to keep you warm.

Was given a pair like these given to me once, think they stayed in the workshop and came out for a manky blackthorn hedge once.

Whilst I can't comment on what PPE you currently wear, but training is probably the best protection you can ever own.

 

Yes, sleeves and jackets are available, but they aren't comfortable for any length of time. So will inevitably get ignored and left in the shed.

Could do with some thorn protection over sleeves knackered my  jacket sleeves up on brambles.

This is what I use for protection when hedge cutting, they are NOT chainsaw protection, they save my sleeves and arms.
