I wear chaps as a regular state of affairs for I've seldom found anything else to give the protection to my legs that I feel I need. I sort of knew that my rear areas hung out but I just accepted it.
Anyway, I've never found leather or textile pants to give me the protection that my heavy chaps do. most of the problems that I have is stuff coming up from the road and my chaps are better protection than anything else I tried. Actually, heavy duty riding boots are more necessary.
I've never come off my bike that I didn't ball up and try to ride it out. The actually scary thing for me in an accident is to ruin a hand or two. Most accidents that I see (and I see a lot ) the problem is head injuries first. Then the hands/arms and legs. And finally the rest of the body. I guess that I don't ride 10/10s anymore or I'd have a real crotch rocket. My Buell is really more of a sweety than a fire breather. Then I would wear real armor if I could find it in my size.
I've never tried denim riding pants. I'm kind of scared of them. Has anybody tried them and what did you think.
Just my 2 cents...
Ladies: Recommendation on buying chaps please
Gurls, I got into trouble today for not thinking of my butt.
