I never thought twice about wearing my chaps, until I joined this forum. I ride to work in dress pants which flop around. So I wear Chaps over them. Takes less than a minute to put them on, or take off. Always wear under 45°, or with dress pants. Easy to take off, at destination.
I have High quality, Elkskin Chaps, very soft. I see cheap, stiff Chaps at places like Fleet Farm, I would never wear. Get some good ones, then stay out of stupid Chaps threads.

LOL I was freezing my butt off when I first bought my bike and couldn't find leather pants so I got chaps instead. they work pretty good on the legs. I still think they are semi gay looking on a dude but man on a woman...
mine have already saved me from a good case of road rash and I wear mine everyday day since I commute to work

For cold mornings they work. The boys freeze though! I like the over dress pants idea. What do you do for warm days? Just dress pants only? If I did that my pant legs would both be around my knees!

If its so cold you need chaps, take the cage...
BTW, I do have a pair of the First Gear HT Overpants from my sport bike days. Nice and complete protection.
