When I'm chopping up for the wood store I generally wear my steel capped trucker boots, light gloves, ear defs and a pair of frag-proof goggles or specs. when I'm out and about cutting down trees I stick my lid on that has the visor, face mask and incorporated ear defs. Very good piece of kit which I wouldn't be without.
Other top piece of kit - Dremel 3000 with the chainsaw sharpening attachment. Dull saw to sharp saw in about 3 minutes, has more than payed for itself in the time that I've had it and does a better job than taking it to the shop to get it ground down or using fiddley files to sharpen a chain. If you're going to spend any money on anything, spend it on one of those.
