Shakari:

Regarding chainsaw pants, etc.

Try the big farm store on Commercialweg in Maritzburg. Haven't been there for 20 years but I bet the outfit still exists.

Also, I bet the Clan Syndicate logging company about 50km north of Maritzburg can get them. If Clan Syndicate still exists. Again...20 years...

I can get all that stuff here in town. I am in a timber town here in logging country.

And for an on-line supply outfit;

Some of the light tactical vests are not too restrictive, but the multi-hit heavy sets add thickness at the shoulder making mounting the rifle difficult.

I bet if you start calling around, you can find some law enforcement fellows in Joburg area that can scrounge you up a set to try. The sets designed to be worn under a uniform are much less restrictive than the full torso class II and III sets.
