40" Ahlborn Wrap-Around Chainsaw Chap
When you're running a chainsaw in the tree, leg protection isn't optional — it's essential. The Ahlborn 40" Wrap-Around Chainsaw Chap provides a higher level of protection than conventional chaps by wrapping around the entire leg, not just the front. This full-coverage design significantly reduces the risk and severity of injury from a rotating saw blade making contact from any angle.
The oil and water-resistant oxford outer sheds the grime and moisture of a real workday, while the inner protective layers are engineered to clog a chainsaw chain on contact — buying critical fractions of a second that can prevent a serious injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wrap-around and conventional chaps?
Conventional chaps protect only the front of the leg. Wrap-around chaps encircle the entire leg, providing protection from contact at any angle — a critical advantage when working in dynamic positions in the tree.
Is there a shorter version?
Yes — see the 36" Ahlborn Chainsaw Chap for a shorter option.
