Hey Corn Dog – I’m with you on the short/round stuff. Maybe your chaps will fit me. I’m 5’3″ – am I shorter than you? I’m pretty sure I’d get 30″ in length. Did I mention that I’m round.

I hear you on that one! You know, in addition to protecting you if you go down, they also protect you “in the wind” from flying debris: rocks or other crap coming up off the road. I don’t wear mine often for protection – fortunately for me, the one time I needed them protection it was also a chilly day on which I wore them for warmth! Thanks as always for reading and commenting :)

Thanks for posting this article! I’ve often thought I should have a pair of chaps, but never knew how they should fit. They’re maybe less essential on the trike than on the bike because of the not-going-to-fall-down feature, but trikes can still get hit by other vehicles. Plus, I’ve gotten home from cold-weather rides with severely chilled legs. Warmth + protection=happy Juju.
