I wear them during the winter. It really helps with blocking the cold wind, especially if you get the 1/4 thick hide....This is only when I ride my Harley. When I am on the Vespa, I dont' wear them because the legshield helps with that.

my legs and ass got cold today (jeans) even with the legshield but can't imagine trying this option as I need less ventilation / plus wouldn't match my new helmet that well nor my lx150 / but you never know... put the word Vespa on a pair and I bet they would sell out (jk)

Don't forget to make them match the paint color too. You see, it's thinking like this that will put that scooter skirt guy out of business.

Let's see now...when I left for work this morning the temp was 2 degrees C. I wore chaps!!! By the time I got to the bus garage I had decided to buy myself a nice thick warm pair of snowmobile mittens...the ones that have a fore-finger...never mind looking cool; I don't like freezing body parts!
In the middle of winter here I was riding to work at around those temps. All it took was tights under me trews and a spencer under my jumper. I mean, chaps...really? I feel like I've died and gone to Hog Heaven Crying or Very sad emoticon

You'd be much more comfortable if you wore them with a codpiece.

Well, Spock, now that the subject has come up.... LMAO I do wear them in very clod weather, when going at high speeds, they keep me warm. When on long frwy trips I feel like if I go down my legs are protected better, same for the leather jacket. Tho recently I got a Kevlar mesh shirt that I feel gives me a good bit of upper body protection. When I had horses I had 3 pairs of chaps, all above mentioned chaps are worn with some brand of jeand or other. Tho there have been occasions, but we won't go into that here ROFL emoticon QB

So apparently your winter riding attire draws on a wardrobe of 18th century period costumes...

So that's what they mean by All The Gear, All The Time (Toreador Pants).

Depends by what you mean as "gear".
