I have worn chaps last few years in the winter,but under 40 degrees legs still got cold.had the idea to line them like my leather jacket.So I went to Joanns fabric store,bought 1 yard of black quilted liner material,had the guy at leather shop sew it to the inside of my chaps.Rode yesterday at 42 degrees in trhe morning,I was as warm and comfortable at 42 degrees with chaps on,as I was at 77 degrees without them coming home.I really think when it falls below 40 to 35 degrees I will be glad I did this. some pics here.
Great Idea!! Good Job!!
I'd say any temperature less than 60 degrees now, it doesn't hurt to wear something else to help keep you warm..
I am not slamming ya...I have thought about doing the same thing...but I keep getting hung up on "what do I do when its about 50 and I do not need the extra insulation?"
