Riding Gear Upgrade - Leather Chaps

Its been getting colder here in the evenings.  Another thing is my pants always seemed long enough.  When I walk, they come down to a good place at my shoes.  When I sit, they come up a bit.  But, on a motorcycle, that little bit they came up to seems to be above the sock and boy you really feel that cold air where your pants end.  In the future, I may get my jeans a little bit longer.

Jeans feel thick when your wearing them around.  But on the bike, the wind can go right through them.  Plus I keep reading that jeans aren't much protection if you fall.  They are more like paper than like actual protection.  Given all that, I invested in a pair of Harley-Davidson Leather Chaps.  I'm styling.  They really add to my biker look.  Plus I'm a bit safer.  Kind of worried about the part they don't cover, but more research on riding gear is needed.  But too, my legs aren't cold anymore when I ride.  Not even on the gap where my pants come above my boots or socks.  That alone makes it so worth it.  Plus did I mention I'm styling? :)
