Frequently Asked Questions
What is TurtleSkin material?
TurtleSkin is a patented woven fabric that provides exceptional cut, puncture, and abrasion resistance. It is used in TurtleSkin gaiters, gloves, and other protective gear rated to ASTM and ANSI standards for forestry and chainsaw applications.
How are TurtleSkin gaiters different from chainsaw chaps?
TurtleSkin gaiters are lighter and more flexible than traditional chainsaw chaps, making them better suited for active, steep-terrain work. Traditional chaps use ballistic fiber fill that jams the saw chain; TurtleSkin's woven construction provides cut resistance with less bulk.
Are TurtleSkin gaiters OSHA compliant for chainsaw use?
TurtleSkin gaiters meet ASTM F1414 performance standards for chainsaw leg protection. Check current OSHA and employer requirements for your specific application. Browse our full PPE selection for additional compliant chainsaw protection options.
