Has anyone tried any of this stuff?
It seem very inexpensive for what they say it is. I was looking at the chaps and they look good in the picture but the price is too good to be true.

Watch out! The buffalo hide stuff I've seen is very thin and sewed together in patches. Not what you would want in chaps. The seams are where the weather will affect the chaps most, rotting the stitches. A good pair of chaps will last you a life time, except when they shrink, like mine did when I changed jobs to being a desk jockey!

Run away, run away!
Dpn't waste your money on them, they are crap.
A friend had some, lasted about half as long as the Triumph saddlebags. Very poor quality.

I just bought a pair of Chilhowee's leather chaps. Fit good, keeps the wind out/off knees. Decent quality leather with doubled up thickness in knees. For the money I'm happy.
