Well, I have a long trip planned for this week (leaving Wednesday). I tried on some HD Stock Chaps at the stealer and picked 'em up (had a 15% off coupon). They fit good. Problem is - I didn't snap the buttons.

Tonight as I try them on to cut them to length, I realize the dang things take no effort to snap and likewise, no effort to unsnap. I am sure a little bit of wind buffeting will make them come undone.

Is this what I should expect from these stock chaps?

Should I pay a little extra and get some Fox Creeks (or something else)?

Thanks in advance....

My brother had a pair. Not sure if he still has em though. I remember on one ride we had to keep pulling over so that he could re-snap all of the buttons. Junk....

I've had a pair for 5+ years with no problem
They stay snapped on the highway at 80+
Mine seem to snap tight though

I have the deluxe HD chaps and they are awesome. The waist has a heavy duty belt up front with the two pins that go into the perforations and it cinches nice and tight. The sides do up with zippers and they have 2 spots to zip up in case I get old and fat along the way, and the lower snaps up around the boot with 3 snaps and they never come undone. Great quality in the deluxe chaps!

Maybe you got the the wrong model. There is the Hiway version of chaps and the stripper version.

These are definately the stripper version of the chaps then... easy on.... easy off....

The snaps are definately WAAAAAYYYYYY too easy to snap and unsnap.. I think I'll order some others next week.....

Thanks for the help...

Yup...you must have gotten them from the Ladies aisle.
