Default Re: Chainsaw boot test

Hmmm.......looks like I might be a little behind the times and have to write a small retraction!!!! All the boots I have ever had any dealings with only had protective chainsaw jamming materials in the tongue...it has been pointed out to me that in fact there are a number of CP boots that have cut resistant materials woven into the sides and back of the boot, also there is an American patent on an internal sock (for want of a better word) woven from kevlar that should when worn inside the boot provide some protection.

Apologies to any boot manufacturers out there for my limited experience of more advanced CP boots.
