Default Fingerless gloves/assless chaps

Ok i've been riding dirtbikes for 38yrs and street bikes for 30. I learned the hard way to always wear gloves on dirt and i,ve always worn fingerless ones on the street due to those lessons. As for the chaps i wear them when its cold! What am i supposed to wear? Carhart coveralls?

Assless chaps always look better on a woman, but for real cold riding, Carharts or a riding
suit may work better, and keep you warmmer.

Aren't chaps just called "chaps?" Why do you call them anything else...unless you're one of the Village People...

Yeah, my old lady wears chaps in cooler weather, but they are just not for me. HD offers some expensive leather over-pants, which I may pick up down the road. icon used to offer something called Barrier Jeans, which are basically regular denim jeans with some sewn-in Kevlar and lining in them for cold weather riding. I picked up a pair in blue and black a few years back. They worked well for me this past winter down into the 30's. I think they offer something similar now for about $100. The blue one's look a little Sport Bike-ish, but the black ones are plain. I just have no need for them right now. I'm a little shocked that HD doesn't offer a lined jean for winter riding.
