I have them, but haven't wore them, ridden as low as 38 degrees. Don't know if I'll ever wear them

Only when I go to Wal-Mart, grocery store, or church. But, never on the bike.

I don't understand Chaps. Why don't you just buy leather pants?

Wear mine when the temp goes below 50 or when I ride to work wearing shorts...Will not ride anytime in shorts....bare skin and hot pipes don't mix...and somehow I will always touch one of the pipes, no matter how hard I try not to

Wow.. you folks wear them as rain/cold gear and I wear them as protection. I wear mine whenever I get on the bike.

Bob
Thank you Bob. The leather gloves, leather jacket and leather chaps aren't "cold" weather gear. They are personal protection gear. The are there to help absorb some of the road rash if you are misfortunate enough to have and unintentional dismount.

I wear mine whenever I am on the bike.
