Chaps may keep you warmer on cold days but the part that gets road rash is not covered. I'd go for a pair of leather trousers to protect my little pink butt as well as keep me warm. Also so I wouldn't look like I should be standing next to a cop, a sailor, an Indian and all those other guys Besides whenever I see some guy trying to look tough while wearing chaps I'm reminded of Eugene Levy in the movie "Armed and Dangerous" with John Candy. I'd rather ride a pink Vespa
