Default JAFRUM chaps

http://www.jafrum.com/Motorcycle-Gea...FU9o7AodaRQAvA

Anyone with exp with these? Seems crazy affordable and all the reviews are glowing. Cooling down here in Texas and I think it is time (past time) to make a purchase.

Thanks, Casey

A friend has a set of these. they are very thin. A good quality set of chaps is going to cost more than $50.

I bought a similar set from them a couple years ago. The ones I got had a removable insulated liner (which I never used) and elastic in the thigh area. For the money, they're hard to beat . I'm sure there are much better ones out there, but they keep the wind and rain off me. I wouldn't hesitate to get another pair. BTW, they seem to run small.

Yea, I read to order a size larger than needed. Being in Texas I am not sure I need the super thick chaps. I think these may work. I don't ride below 50 degrees usually.

Can't comment on the chaps, but I have a Jafrum jacket & it's better than anything else I had looked at & it was $60. It's thick, heavy, warm, and pretty much indestructible.
You don't need to spend $400 on leathers to have a good product.

I bought a pair with the zip out liner October last year. I ride down to 30 and they worked good. Keep the rain off and are warmer then you think. I treated them and put them up for Spring and Summer just took them out and yup still look good fit good and as warm as when i bought them. Yes order a size bigger then you need.

Good deal yall, thanks. I have many friends that paid a TON for chaps... which is why I have not bought yet. I see you measure your thigh... how do they figure waist size? I am 6 ft. tall with a 36 / 38 waist.

They are laced inthe back for adjustment as well as have a good length belt in front. Just go atleast one size up, the leg length on mine was a little long but i didnt cut them just dont button the bottom and they work great no matter which boot i choose to wear.

I bought a pair of their chaps a couple of years ago. I think they are great. No issues so far and for the price, I don't think you can go wrong. I looked at chaps that cost twice as much and didn't see twice the quality.
