PPE? Phew, I thought you were being rude about my stump! (Note to people without a tree fetish: being critical of another persons stump is a classic jibe, and that one is a shocker)
Kevlar backed left glove.
-36 dB ear defenders
Kevlar trousers. I've deliberately chosen climbing trousers because I can move in them, but they are Class C protection. I find that the standard chaps get so hot you either don't wear them or you suffer from heat exhaustion. Edit - I've just looked at them: Design C, Class II. I always get confused with that stuff.
Boots with kevlar inserts and steel toes (but you can't see that)
Yes, I should probably have been wearing a helmet with a face shield - however I lent that to my friend who was cutting elsewhere. I have found that the ear protection in a standard helmet combo is worse than those peltors in shot, so when I am using a loud old saw, I tend to go for the peltors. I also wear glasses which keep the majority of the chips out of your eyes. Clearly, if I was felling, I would be wearing the helmet.
The most heinous crime in that picture (for a modern arborist) is that I am using a saw from about 1972, 108cc and no brake. I would pick something more modern for difficult work.
