Can chaps be worn in the summer without over heating?

Chaps + Draggin Jeans are a great combination.

motorcyclecloseouts.com have some "chap pants" - either pants with zippiers and snaps up both side, or chaps with butt and crotch. But, they are darned near paper thin.

Only advice I can give you is don't buy fron Jafrum, they will suck you in with their pricing and warranty promises and will deliver sub-par merchandise and if you return it per their instructions you will never hear from them again..Bye bye money ..Buy elsewhere..

Thanks. That's the kind of stuff I like to hear. I haven't bought any yet. I decided to wait till the end of the summer.

jbois28,

Glad I read that. I've been considering doing some wholesale buying from Jafrum. Think I'll keep looking around.

Didn't one of the Village People invent those things? :?

They look too Gay to me, (Not that there's anything wrong with that) so buy some Leather Pants & play it safe.

Unless...........................nevermind.

(struggles for a PC way to say this) Leather pants are even worse in this regard. Enough bikers wear chaps to water down what you said but not many bikers wear leather pants. At least around here they don't.

Go ahead and laugh at me while you're at it. :laughing:
