Got to take a ride today (Only people in the northeast know how good it feels to type those words.) Had the absolutely perfect combination * Cold ankles * Hot right leg Had chaps back-in-the-day; - heavy, bulky attracted offers of roadside-rest nuptials - hated them. Didn't even try to sell them, cut them up to make a quiver (still have it). Are there any chaps out there that don't look gay? - Possibly even chaps that are not heavy and bulky |

I've got Kevlar chainsaw chaps. I dont think they look gay, but I dunno...maybe the village people might use them if they had a lumberjack guy. |

I wear Fieldsheer armored textile overpants. They zip-to-the-hip, so I can pull them on after I put on my touring boots. Removable liner for winter, lots of good venting for summer...and armored. Knees, hips, and backside. I've worn them over jeans in very sub-freezing temps; I've worn them over shorts in 90+. Good stuff. |

I use First Gear HT2 overpants. I'd get another pair in a heartbeat. I use the mesh version in the summer. |

I've got these with fleece linings. Warm and roll up in a small package for storing. http://coloradochaps.com/motorcycle_chaps.html |

I wear custom made 38"inseam Bates lined leather chaps. Had them since 1985. Always in the saddlebags when it gets cold. I need to make an expansion piece for the back side where they lace together. I can barely get the buckle to catch the first whole anymore!! Do they make me look gay? If we ever meet up somewhere you can tell me. I've actually had women start poking me in the arse while I'm standing at the bar. Funny how they can get away with that but boy look out if I tried to return the favor!!

99savage, after rereading my post it sounded kind of "challenging". I should have used a smiley face as I was just joking. Would love to ride to the shooting range with you some time! |
