    $30? BUY BUY BUY! No more info needed. That wont even cover the paperwork fees at the ER.

    And by the way, welcome to the forum.

    You hear of an injury here once in awhile, but slipping on the ice and a saw trying to bite you is two different things. Looking forward to your story and thanks for posting the pics.

    The chaps I bought from tree stuff are Forresterware brand. So far I'm very happy with them. Haven't tried out their cut resistance capability yet, and hope I never do.

    $30.00 is a very fair price. I'd buy if it were me.
