Leather Chaps - Premium - Unisex - Motorcycle - C2334-88-DL

• Leather does stretch a bit with wear. Of course it needs some pressure for it to stretch. Just like your jeans may stretch at the knees because that's where the most pressure is put on your jeans, it will be the same with leather chaps. 

Are Leather Chaps Good For Protection?

• Yes they are. That is their main purpose is to protect your skin from road rash should you crash or fall off your motorcycle and to protect your legs from flying debris. If you have ever seen someone with road rash because they rode their motorcycle with shorts on, you would never ride without the protection of heavy jeans with leather chaps right on top.

How Tight Should My Chaps Fit?

• Your leather chaps should fit snug but not tight. This however, is up to the individual. Just like with wearing jeans some people like them skin tight while other people like baggy jeans, it's personal preference. But to me, a nice fitting pair of chaps which hug your body without them being tight or suffocating. Remember when you sit, your thighs expand a bit and your pants and chaps will ride up a bit. So you always sit to measure length before cutting them off at the hem and sit to see if they are still comfortable to wear while sitting and riding your bike.
