leg protection constructed with cut-resistant material. The leg protection must extend
from the upper thigh down to the boot top and adequately cover the leg.
- Leg protection is available in a variety of forms, including chaps, logger pants, and
leggings. The protective material also comes in a variety of forms including ballistic
nylon, polyester, Kevlar, Engtek, etc.
- Underwriters Laboratories (UL) currently tests and labels leg protection which meets
minimum cut resistance requirements. (Reference ASTM F1414-92a)
