Better off with chaps for rock and temperature protection and rain suit for water and temperature protection. I froze this weekend when i forgot mine and it turned cold. One of the guys loaned me the rain suit pants and it made all the difference.

I have the HD FXRG pants, they are waterproof, wind proof & are very warm, in the summer you can open them up a lot to let air in I wear em instead of jeans because they are armored.

Why wear pants? Ridin' naked is only a problem if you're hung like a horse. Then you just gotta be careful about burnin' it on your exhaust. [:-] I just learned to throw it to the other side. Now I'm worried about gettin' it caught in the belt!

I've got these and I'm very happy with them http://www.newenough.com/protective_...overpants.html

I wear shorts to work from spring through fall, and these go on right over whatever I'm wearing. They have a removeable quilted liner for when it gets chilly and when it's really cold, I'll wear them over jeans.
