A
protective garment (400, 500, 600) for use with a chainsaw is provided, comprising a plurality of inner protective material
layers (210, 220, 230) and a plurality of outer protective material
layers (240, 250, 260). Each inner protective material layer (210, 220, 230) may comprise a first pulled
fiber (215) and each outer protective material layer (240, 250, 260) may comprise a second pulled
fiber (245). The pulled fibers (215, 245) may be configured to perform a safety feature by being pulled out when contacted by an operating chainsaw to jam the chainsaw and prevent further rotation of the
cutting chain. The first pultruded fibers (215) may be woven into each of the inner armor
layers (210, 220, 230) having a first
fiber density, and the second pultruded fibers (245) may be woven into each of the outer armor layers (240, 250, 260) having a second
fiber density. The second
fiber density may be greater than the first
fiber density.
