I purchased leather chaps from BikeBandit to keep warm in the cold weather riding. The leather chaps are not perfect because lack of coverage and now I think leather pants would be a better option. I already have a Joe Rocket leather jacket and looking for a good leather pant.
Please pass on some brand recommendations from your own experience.
I have leather pants from Jammin leather. They work great on summer nights when it gets a little brisk. but forget them in cold weather unless you really like being cold. If you are determined to buy leather get them large so they don't fit like spandex, cold leather stretched against your legs is just plain cold. I have Cordura type pants for winter and heated pants and jacket liners for 30 degree and lower temps. www.sportsmansguide.com is great for inexpensive but good quality biker clothes. on a side note, If you are in Daytona don't wear your leather pants walking by the clown with the microphone sitting at the "dunk tank" unless you want a really good ball breaking!!!
I have a pair of leather pants. I bought them large enough to go over my jeans. I have not had a problem riding with them. The only problem I have is getting my wallet and other items out my jeans. I still like the pants because with the jeans and the leather the keep the essential equipment warmer! They have zippers all the way up the sides of the legs and are easy to put on.

I have bought Jammin leather pants, gloves and a jacket. And it's pakistan leathers for Jammin leather with inport companies here in the USA. The leathers fix funny like the pants go up to your chest with short legs. The gloves are made with small fingers like children size finger sizes. The the leather jacket you should buy the larger for them to fit right.
