engine guard chaps
I'm looking at engine guard chaps to extend the riding season this year.
The AirLite chaps have caught my eye. Does anyone have them on their bike? What are your impressions? Did you get them with pockets or without? How do they stay on by just stretching over the bar? https://www.airlite.ca/products.php Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I use them all winter. They work great. Once it gets 80+ I usually take them off. No pockets. Fit tight. Work great for cold or wet driving.

Me too! They're reasonably priced. Easy, easy off. They hold up very well and are durable.

If you are going to get engine guard chaps, Airlite are the best IMHO.
I had them on my Nomad and my Drifter, on and off in about a minute.
