After looking at a multitude of options, I purchased a Fox Creek Laced motorcycle vest and a pair of their leather motorcycle chaps. I received the vest about a week before the chaps and it was so nice I had to give Fox Creek my business for the chaps and they are equally nice. Using their fitment charts and talking to the sweet ladies back in Virginia they made sure I had the right size and both items fit perfectly. I had wore Brooks chaps for decades and they are good stuff too, but I have to give the nod to Fox Creek on leather look and feel. The stuff in the dealer doesn't even come close to how nice these are!

I'm heading out on about a 2000 mile ride in the coming days and will report on how they work for me.
