The Fox Creek chaps are very good quality.
I wear them below 45 as well.
Screw the morons that don't like them. It ain't their skin I am protecting.

I bought a pair from Leatherup. I had bought something from them before and they sent me a 15% discount so I bought leather pants, chaps and a vest with shipping for $151.
They are very well made, have YKK zippers and are very adjustable.

Check them out here

Don't you know anything about biker fashion? They go with the fingerless gloves!

Well I went to Fox Creeks website, and I guess I'll order from them. Anyone who puts it right in their warranty that they will not cover damage from knifefights has got to have a sense of humour.[sm=biker2.gif]

Believe it or not - I got a pair of Hein Gerke (I think that's how it's spelled!) chaps back in 1986, and they are still goin" strong! What's even more amazing is that they still fit after all these years!!!!!!
