Tourmaster Cortech: heavy cordura nylon with big side zips, padding, regular pockets with velcro, and velcro thigh pockets. Best overpant out there IMO. They look good, work great, are easy on and off, water resistant, and pack down pretty small. You wouldn't care what others thought if you asked so in my opinion don't do it. You don't see guys wearing race suits on cruisers for the same reason. I don't ride harley's or cruisers and I have never worn chaps and probably never will. If I had a harley or cruiser I still wouldn't wear them. Not really my taste....but to each their own! Staying warm is all that matters.
