Men's Leather Motorcycle Chaps
Leather Motorcycle Chaps are sturdy coverings for the legs consisting of leggings and a belt. They are buckled on over trousers with the chaps' integrated belt, but unlike trousers they have no seat and are not joined at the crotch. They are designed to provide protection for the legs and are usually made of leather or a leather-like material. They are most commonly associated with the cowboy culture of the American west as a protective garment to be used when riding a horse through brushy terrain. In the modern world, they are worn for both practical work purposes and for exhibition or show use.
Motorcycle chaps are an example of the shotgun style. They are usually made of leather with the smooth side out, and generally provide all-around protection for the leg and have side zippers to allow them to be put on easily. They are popular in the biker subculture, providing protection from the wind and cold as well as partial protection from cuts and scrapes in the event of a fall to the roadway.
Motorcycle chaps are also popular in the leather subculture, where they often are tightly fitted and worn without jeans or other garments layered beneath them other than a codpiece. Worn in this manner, they are colloquially referred to as "assless" chaps. These chaps are sometimes styled with the zipper on the inside of the leg and colored leather striping down the outside.
