| Reviewer: Keith from NORMAL, IL |
| These are quality chaps. I ordered one size smaller than my normal and they fit perfect. I am usually a 36 and the 34 was perfect. I was a little worried about the thigh since I went down a size, but with the elastic insert they were not too tight and very comfortable. |

| Reviewer: Jon from Stillwater, MN |
| Very comfotable chaps at a great price. As others have mentioned, you will probably have to trim the bottoms to the proper length. I usually wear a 34-36" waist in jeans and I probably could of fit into the 32-33" size. They are a little big in waist size so you might want to order at least one size smaller other wise you will probably not get enough adjustment in the belt. I had to exchange the 36 for the 34 size and I am on the last notch in the belt. |

| Great chaps at a great price. I went with my actual waist size and they fit just fine. With their lock stitching it was a breeze to hem them to fit my inseam perfectly. Highly recommend them... |

| Reviewer: jeff from CARRINGTON, ND |
| chaps are awesome. very soft and comfortable. have large thighs and with the elastic thighs on the chaps, not sure if i would order them with the zipper on the thigh. The zipper however poses no problem. would definitely order from leather up again |

| Reviewer: Patrick from NAPAVINE, WA |
| Ordered one size larger and they fit a little loose. Could have easily ordered exact size and the expanding thigh and zipper would give a nice snug fit. Quality is great. I'm short and had to cut off almost to the leg zipper. These should last a very long time. |

| Reviewer: Ronald from STOCKTON, CA |
| Very soft and comfortable. Bought a pair for my wife as well. Sizes run true as stated in other reviews. Lots of leather for the price. You will have to trim the bottoms. Would highly recomend. Xelement makes great products. Ron H., CA. |

| Reviewer: Glen from MONROE, UT |
| These chaps fit very well I used the size chart and I am very happy with them. There is adequate leg room but yet still snug enough to be comfortable on long rides The elastic in the inner thigh and the zipper on the outer thigh makes all the differece. The thickness of the leather is more than I expected for the price. This is my second purchase from Leather up. I will continue to purchase all my leather from them. Thanks, Glen |

Fast service. |

| Reviewer: Richard A. Hendrickson from Rio Rico, AZ |
| I've never had chaps before but these appear to be very well made. They are very comfortable and give well at the stress points of the knees and thighs. I've used them in temperatures as low as 30 degrees without any discomfort. I'm impressed! |

| Reviewer: Danielle Townsend from Washington, NC |
| I bought these chaps for my husband for Christmas. They arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date -- even in the midst of the busy holiday season. I purchased exactly his jean size rather than going up one size as recommended. The fit is perfect. He loves them. He likes the elastic inserts and the zipper closures on the back of the thighs. That allows a little bit of give and makes them very comfortable. Definitely a great buy!! |

| Reviewer: David Jefcoat from Brandon, MS |
| Previous reviews regarding sizing and trimming was very helpful. Since my bike is my only transportation I ride in all weather and these chaps have made all the difference! Thanks LeatherUp!! |

| Reviewer: Wilson Copeland from Tucson, AZ |
| I was surprised at how heavy the chaps were. I have looked at leathers for a lot more money and they looked cheesey when compaired to these. |

| Reviewer: William Stahl from Lake Jackson, TX |
| My suggestion for all people looking for leather is to shop here. You will not find better quality at these prices anywhere else. These guys are great. I'm extremely happy with the chaps and everything else I've bought from here. |

| Reviewer: Richard Dandridge from Grass Valley, CA |
| These chaps are the greatest. The weather turned cold very fast here in Norhern Ca. I was happy the chaps arrived so fast. They made it just in time for our annual toy run. While the weather was freezing, and many of my ffellow bikers were a bit cold, I stayed very comfortable on the run. The chaps were a lifesaver. They look great, they are soft and comfortable, and they fit great. Super buy! Rick |

| Reviewer: pamela lareau from dracut, MA |

| Reviewer: Richard Hansen from Patchogue, NY |
| These chaps are great. Comfortable, very soft leather, easy on and off. Makes a world of difference for cold weather riding. At 6' 2" I did not cut the bottoms and they cover my ankles to protect them when I am wearing shoes commuting to and from work. I could not be more pleased with my purchase. |

| Reviewer: Daniel O'Connell from Pleasantville, Somewhere |
| Really comfy. Keeps the wind off your legs, which seems to be more than half the issue with keeping your legs warm. Like other reviewers, I got one size wider in the waist. I thought I might have to cut the bottoms since my inseam is about 31" but with the snaps, it's great, kind of like in the picture. The thing that really surprised me is how fast you can get them off and folded. The quality of the leather is excellent. I am completely happy with this purchase. |

| Reviewer: Barry Baldridge from Rose Bud, AR |

| Reviewer: Paul Leger from Buna, TX |
| Fits great, feels great, outstanding value & fast delivery. I have compared to other shops and NONE come close. Will be buying from this store again. |

| Reviewer: Joseph Shonka from Marietta, GA |
| These chaps are awesome! I have never worn them (I always thought they were cheesy), but I have decided to ride into the winter here, and I have already been comfortable in 30 degree weather. They cut the wind perfectly, and I would recommend them to anyone. One suggestion, as I am sure you have read - order them a size above what you wear, they will still be snug. Easy on and easy off, these will look and feel great! This is a great company to deal with, too - they processed my exchange within days! |

| Reviewer: Ray Sech from Mt. Vernon, TX |
| My friend drives and rides the Harley Brand. These chaps well match his quality. They are everything the add boasts. I was able to purchase a complete riding outfit for what my friend paid for his chaps. I agree on the comments others have made per sizing. Order one size larger and be prepared to trim the length. No hemming necessary! |

| Reviewer: Steve Johnson from Newberry, SC |
| Excellent quality product at an unbeatable price. 5 stars. As others, order the next size up. I'm 6' and 215lbs. I wear a 36" , so I ordered the 38". Perfect fit. The dual zippers & the elastic thighs give a nice snug fit against the wind. Fast delivery, great product, and price. You will pay more elsewhere. If you need 'em, order 'em here. |

| Reviewer: terry bell from clermont, FL |
| Great fit and great price. Agree with all others - order one size up from what you would normally wear in jeans, since these have to over your pants(unless you are going to one of those clubs and not wearing any...). |

| Great Value, Easily worth full price. But, LEather Up saved me $180, can't beat that. |

| Got the chaps one day and had to ride 110 miles one way in 38 degree weather for my 1000 mile check and oil change.The chaps were very warm and comfortable. Good choice.Highly recommend them. |

| Reviewer: Juston Cline from Garden City , MN |
| I just received these chaps in the mail and am pleased to say that I am very impressed. The quality of leather and workmanship for the money is unsurpassed. I wear a 36 waist jean and purchased these chaps in a 38, the fit is great. A little off the bottom and I was good to go. |
November 08, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Jay Conlin from Cypress, TX |
| Chaps arrived on time and seem pretty comfortable. I still need to cut them off at the bottom, I would bet they would fit someone 6 foot 6. |

| Reviewer: Jeffrey Leiner from Pleasantville, Somewhere |
| great fit (get one size larger then your jean size & read the size chart for your thigh measurement). construction and materials look good. I wore these chaps yesterday for the 1st time yesterday and rode almost 200 miles on a brisk fall day (39-50 degrees), with just a pair of jeans under them, and was very comfortable. Even better I didn't sweat in the restaurant like I did when wearing thermals... |

| Reviewer: James Rudy from Willow Street , PA |
| This is the first time ever wearing chaps. They are well worth the money spent for them. Good quality. |

| Reviewer: Charles Edwards from Palmyra, VA |
| I am truly impressed with the quality of these chaps. I have taken 3 rides since receiving them. Temperatures from the 60's to a low of about 40 and have been very comfortable. The elastic thighs are great as they snug up the chap to prevent heat loss as well as expand some for comfort. If you need more thigh room the thigh zipper will provide the extra room. I agree with previous reviewers that ordering a full size larger as recommended is the way to go. At 5'9" and 185 with a 36" waist I ordered the 38 and fit was perfect after cutting off excess length. Be careful not to cut too short. I marked mine as they rested on the top of my boot while sitting on my bike. This ensures wind is blocked from going up the leg. Great chaps, good looking, good fit, good materials. |
October 22, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Dennis Edge from Pleasantville, Somewhere |
| Bought the chap one size big and they fit perfect once I cut an 1-1/2" off the leg. Four days later, I put them on and rode 1000 miles over a four day period. They felt perfect from start to finish. |

| Reviewer: Kerry Kelley from Wheelersburg, OH |
| Bought these first in the same size as my regular pants... mistake.. had them exchanged for a size larger and they fit really good... a little snug over jeans but for me I like the fit, others may want to go up 2 sizes. I am 5'11 180 lbs. with 32" inseam and 34 inch waist. They are VERY comfortable... have ridden a couple of times in upper 30's for 30+ miles and they have kept my legs warm with just a pair of jeans under them. I would rate these a 5 based on comfort and what seems like very good workmanship and durability. |
