LEATHER BIKER CHAPS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Leather motorcycle chaps are leg coverings with a belt. Think of leather pants without the sections covering the butt or crotch. Chaps are buckled over the top of one’s pants with the chaps’ integrated belt.

They are designed to provide protection for the legs and are usually made of leather (or a leather-like material).

BIKER CHAPS ORIGINS

Chaps derive from the American cowboy culture and were used as leg protection when riding a horse through brushy terrain.

LEATHER MOTORCYCLE CHAPS, adapted from cowboy gear, started to find their way into the American biker culture in the early 1960s.

Leather motorcycle chaps are usually made with the smooth side out, and have side zippers to allow them to be put on easily.

They provide bikers protection from the wind and cold as well as partial abrasion protection in the event of a fall to the roadway.
