Beat the heat of your Carpenter, CES, Ozrider, or Reband custom headers.
Vikings probably don't need them at all and Carpenter Brute owners need to wear both! ;) :roll:.

Horse riding leather gaiters or 'Half chaps' apparently.

Similar Black ones I may have to try too!


I will try the LHS one on my RH leg. I suppose the RHS one would work just as well with zip in middle as the heat is coming from the front. I would only need them in a traffic jam though and that isn't too likely.
Maybe I should just send them to @Dr.D as a consultation fee for his 'afterdark' boot collection! ;) :roll: :cool:

I figured out you can wear them above or below your jeans and under jeans they do not need zipping up either with the elastic stirrup at bottom. Even Green Hulk like calves can still be covered! ;) :)

Check because mine are real leather but I have seen many PU vinyl leather and synthetic fabric versions on eBay too! Any Mr Magoos like @1olbull should check as these days lots of 'Leather' IS ONLY PU vinyl with very different heat and insulation properties to real full grain leather.

I bought a set of these for the Distinguished Gentlemans Ride as a costume. Surprisingly, I found I really like them. They keep the lower legs of my pants dry when the streets are wet and I don't have to worry about the cuffs on my pants riding up over my low boots. I do think that when its really hot they will have to go into the bags. The leather is thin, and I'm sure the elastic panel will melt given the chance, but have held up perfectly so far.
