Chaps and Protective Gear

Was not sure where to post this, but good technical information on the differences between European, US, Canadian, and other chaps / pants standards.
Also good technical information on choices made when designing these products.

Here is the one on chaps design; factors including cut resistance of fibers, how they are oriented, bulk issues, etc.

European Chaps Classifications

EN standards have 3 ratings for the coverage of protective material ('A', 'B', 'C'), and 4 ratings for chain speed ('0', '1', '2', '3').
I am unable to attach the full file here, due to its size, but copied the information from the site below, which includes helpful illustrations:

Standards
Our SIP Protection chainsaw garments and other protective clothing meet the requirements in a range of European standards, and they are CE marked.
