How does Prolar compare to Kevlar?
Prolar is a material that was developed specifically to stop a running chainsaw, by jamming the chain against the chainsaw bracket and bar. Kevlar on the other hand (a Dupont product and brand name) is a more universal material used in chain saw chaps, bullet proof vests, tennis rackets and many unrelated applications. Kevlar offers excellent protective properties, and has the capability to comply with the above referenced commercial standards. Kevlar pads are negatively affected by washing, unlike Prolar.
