Anyone wear these?

Only wear them for thorn.They're pretty good.

I used to use them some years ago when cut and chuck wasn't frowned upon. It can lead to a certain level of complacency.

Once the elastic at the upper end starts to go they slide down your arm and they have to be pulled up every 2-3 minutes.

The outer material is quite hard, (hence its usefulness in thorny hedges), but this means it doesn't grab the chain if you happen to get contact. When the saw does touch it they either spin round and the saw skitters down to your hand or up to your elbow. Either that or it stays still and the saw still bounces down to your hand or elbow.

That said, They do take some of the energy out of the chain so when it gets there you get a few scratches and a chance to self descend and change your underwear.

started another paragraph and realised I'd already covered that bit.
