Question: Would good Kevlar Chainsaw chaps work as snake chaps?

Way too many copperheads in a thick area beside the house. Sticker bushes, azaleas, ivy, grown up hillside. I'm thinking chainsaw chaps and heavy leather boots would work to go stomp around and see what I could scare up and then dispatch with reckless abandon. I've got a pair of Stihl kevlar chiansaw chaps...they buckle around the back of the calf so that area may be partly exposed...like an inch or two when cinched up tight.
What say ye?

I would think they will work but you are leaving the back of your legs exposed.

I thank so. Ive saw snakes not penatrate rubber boots. I think I got the crap bit out of me in 85' right thru a rubber boot....... chaps and most boots will stop a mid sized copperhead....wouldn't trust either on a good size rattler...
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I'd take my chance if I were you. The rest of us will comfort your wife with beer after your passing  Seriously, I think it would be o'k, but wouldn't like that gap. I can't see a snake penetrating where a chainsaw blade will stop. But that's me. I have a push weedeater you can borrow if you'd like. You can reach out there a bit further and it works great.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

kevlar usually isn't used to stop sharp objects from direct penetration. My bullet proof vest would stop a 125gr 357mag but wouldn't stop an ice pick.....

I don't know if it will stop a snake or not. That is two totally different designs, though. Snake chaps stop puncture-type attacks. Chainsaw chaps are filled with tiny shreds of fiber that bogs the chain down. All the fibers get into the chain and stop it. Go for it, if you feel froggy.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I would not chance it myself. A great pair of boots even have me worrying when the snakes are crawling. Cheap insurance for something I enjoy.
I can't stand a thief.

I just choose to look where I put my feet which seems to save me from snakes, turned ankles, and other problems.

I doubt a snake could penetrate a chainsaw chap. It would have to be a perfect strike. if it had the fang length it would go thru it a hot ice pick thru butter.....
