Default Advise on these?

I am looking into buying some highway bar chaps.

I was wondering how well they work and if anyone has them.

Are they worth the $70-$150?

I would imagine they would work quite well in the cold.

Not quite sure if we're talking about the same thing, but I got some "Chaps" for my engine guards that work very well. I bought them on eBay for 50.00. They slip over the engine guard and attach with web straps in the front and snaps. They block the air, and the water from the road/rain. I wish I could find the link, but I just recently saw the same guy selling them on ebay...
