Problem with just flannel lined jeans and long under ware at highway speeds my pants balloon esp when I use the highway pegs and cold air runs all the way up to my crouch.
Chaps keep them tight and almost all cold air out.

Not sure what's going on with those who say they have trouble getting in and out of them.
You guys out of shape and can't touch your toes or something?
Are you suggesting that there might be some overweight Harley riders whose guts might get in the way? That couldn't really happen, could it?

I wear FCL's leather overpants, and I try to use them all year. When it hits 95 out here? Yeah, I'll take the risk of my *** getting road rash. Other than that, I try to wear them.

Do they look gay? Don't know, don't care. Personally, I'm sure my gauze-wrapped *** would look much more gay than my leather-covered ***.
