it definitely goes beyond "being comfortable" and "protection from the cold". there are many alternatives to chaps that are lighter, cheaper, and much more effective than chaps. just admit you like wearing the chaps and be done with it.
i suppose i can wear a arabian da shiki in the summertime and be comfortable too, but i don't' want to wear a dress.

*** for me, I will wear chaps. a trip into Montana, with rain one day, heat the next, bugs, and 30 degrees in the mountains. I just wore them the whole trip and stayed dry and comfortable the whole time. When I got home after 3500 miles of bugs, it was nice to just spray them off and not drag them in on my wranglers.

Bored to death at work, reading all over the forums to pass the time. Was reading funny comments about assless chaps when it occurred to me that I had no idea when these began to appear in the general riding community. Anybody recollect? Surely it didnt start with the Village People.
