I recommend that you look for a set of cycling windfront tights for under your jeans. Like these: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1122920_-1_400066__400066. I have two sets for winter cycling, but they work great under jeans for riding on cold days. I used them Sunday when it was 48 degrees when we started riding.

Hahah, only in the US. Sorry guys. Sizes available are large, extra large and extra extra large
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

First, Andy, all chaps are assless.  That's what separates them from pants.  And if you had read my first post in this thread, you'd see where I mentioned the possibility of grinding off some rump.  I'll take that over loosing leg skin any day.
Go metric, every inch of the way!

I'd rather lose my legs than wear chaps.  :P   F*ck If I wore chaps I'd probably be raped and kneecapped.

Chaps have nothing to do with image, really! ;)
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.
