Back when your horse wasn't made of iron, chaps were born. Leather was the material of choice, because that was the only choice, period. Leather makes a good wind-breaker, is durable, generally won't tear except under extreme duress, and can be made nearly waterproof. It has a nice feel and a good earthy smell, too. And the more you wear a leather item, the better it tends to fit.
River Road's basic motorcycle chaps are the old "shotgun" or "pipe-stove" style, meaning they have a straight leg and a close fit. Made of top-quality, imported full-grain leather, they have full-length genuine YKK side zippers for easy on and off. Snap-down bottom closures will keep the cuff in place. The seams are nylon-stitched for strength and extra durability. And while they come in sizes from men's XS to XXXL, the bottoms can be trimmed to your preferred length.
If you need something to cut the breeze or keep you a little warmer on those cool mornings, these chaps will do the job. Leather is helpful in a fall, too, for preventing road rash. Not a cure by any means, but another tough layer at least.
River Road's basic chaps, for the price, are a pretty good deal. The manufacturer also provides a two year warranty from the purchase date.
