Default Chaps

I am looking for a set of chaps I would like a set of HD ones but they are just to much money for me I don't plan on wearing them very much. So what is the next best Brand to look at that are good quailty but not Expensive

Thanks

I just bought some from www.foxcreekleather.com. I ordered the wrong size. They said to return and they are sending me another pair. I bought some other leathers from them and am very happy with the quality and service.

I bought a pair called "leather king". I found them in a discount leather store. Thick, soft, lined. Decent quality, and after riding in cold weather with them, I'll never ride with out them. Best of all....$90.00. Look around you can find great deals out there.
