that website had me rolling...thanks for the laughs,as well as some of these posts!

if there's that much debris flying around where you're riding,why not wear a jacket and protect your whole upper body? Honestly,in 35 years or so of riding,I can still not see a need for something like this,but to each thier own.

i was sitting here thinking they look like something mr.slave on south park would wear...matter of fact,he's wearing one.

true enough, i only posted the welding sleeves pic cuz they are not homosexuallike like the OP armchaps.com gear.
welding sleeves aren't 4 riding IMO either i wear my custom fitted armoured leather jacket but like i posted earlier i have worn my welding sleeves riding to work late before, it got alot of WTF? looks of confusion and you'd have to an attention ***** to want to wear em.
stuff from that website armchaps.com looks homosexuallike and any kind of 'armchaps' is a attention ***** thing.

SOOOOooooo ....... would these be BACKLESS CHAPS ????

Twenty years ago these would have probably been an open invitation to an *** whippin', but, times have changed, to each his own. Besides, I like laughin' so I hope I see a lot of them.

I'm sure I haven't seen it all, but these put me closer to that goal.
Or it may be me. But introduce yourself anyway.

Hmmmm, two uses came to mind for me. One, they will protect your hair from split ends if you slide down the highway ???? Two, well, my other thought, hmmm, they don't make them in a large enough diameter for me. BwwwHAaHaa!
