If you want to go that way an air conditioned cab would be the ideal! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

a while back on this thread it was talked about cutting next to a stream and wearing a life jacket. that made me think to check my bank next to the Mississippi River, where I have a river cabin and 2 acres of ground we cut. I have always kept the tractor 2 to 4 foot away. Just incase the bank was washed out from under it below the water line.
I think I will pass on the jacket, I have a 4 to 6 ft drop then a mud bank that I would sink about 4 foot into, I better carry a tank of air so I could breath until they could dig me out.
Be safe out there

I wear a white hard hat and my chain saw chaps when I'm in the woods working. I've had many less bonks on the noggin since I started the practice.
The white hat doesn't absorb much of the sun's rays, keeping it cooler.
A day after making fun of me for having my hard hat on, my brother got conked on the head with a falling limb while working in his wood. I got the last laugh.

I may need to get a hard hat. I have bumped my head twice lately on the folded ROPS when adjusting the sway chains. JC

This could be attractive, if you pick the colors right! web page
Seriously, many chainsaw helmet manufacturers make a neck cape or chip shield that snaps in to the rear of the helmet and hangs down 10-12" to cover your collar, etc. from chips. Great in the woods, especially in cold weather, kinda sweaty when hot.
