Chaps Repair
By: Philbert Date: July 22, 2017, 10:03 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Chaps are a basic piece of personal protective equipment (PPE)
for chains saw users. Some people are reluctant to buy them,
possibly due to the cost. Some people are reluctant to 'retire'
them, again, possibly due to the cost. If only the outer fabric
of the chaps is damaged, with none of the inner, protective
fibers affected, the chaps can usually be repaired - a cost
effective alternative.
Here is a common sense approach from the US Forest Service:
"Inspecting, Cleaning, Repairing, and Retiring USDA Forest
Service Chain Saw Chaps"

*It should be noted that not all chaps are the same: some brands
and models use different types of protective fibers, which meet
acceptable performance standards.
Some brands and models of chaps ARE machine washable; so follow
the manufacturers' recommendations on cleaning, detergents, etc.
The general instructions for repairing the outer layer, without
sewing through or gluing the inner, protective fibers, should
apply to most saw protective chaps.
