RE: Chaps
I could care less what some might say, chaps are worth their weight in gold when riding in cold weather & comfort is where my concern is at.
Safety is another issue and they are a big aid in keeping some layers of protection between your hide & the pavement. I've heard it said "There are two kinds of cycle riders. The ones that have gone down before and the other is those that will someday"

just make sure you get all the long frills and put frills on your bike, and get a villiage people cd, and put a sock in your crotch because it will still freeze in there buy some leather pants for a few bucks more and you won`t look like a cup cake, and you will have full warmth, and pertection and not all those sneers when people look back at you as your A### is hangin out

An option you might check out....I wear Carhartt overalls, you can get them lined or unlined. Pretty freaking warm, and easy to take off;they have full-zippered legs. Thick, too, in case you make an unscheduled dismount.....

RE: Chaps
I've only been down once.. slid mostly on my left side.. mostly. Bike was totaled and I walked away with a slight limp.
I wasn't wearing paper thin chaps either, thank goodness. The set I had were thick and they saved me.
