why do chaps not cover your jewels

So you do not have to remove them to go pee.

Because they serve no practical purpose other than to make you look just like everybody else and think you're cool. Try sliding down the pavement in a pair. You will never wear them again. l learned my lesson when they had to replace my hip. :0)

chaps r for 3 reasons,
1) to reduce cold due to wind, ur jewels r behind gas tank and
also need to breath in summer, talk about sweating ur '''' off.

2) If u fall off or get hit by rocks, gravel. They provide some minor impact & friction protection. They will reduce or prevent road rash. That area of ur pants u normally wont slide on, has thicker material & overlap due to fly, & has a zipper.

3) reduces burns on inside of legs from pipes / engine.

hope this helps.

Hehe - l wear them mainly for wind protection during the cold days (under 45F). My jewels safelly cuddle behind the gas tank on such days.

Actually they are supposed to be kept cool - that is why they hang out ;)

If they did they would be called leather riding pants and not chaps.

If you want to cover the ''jewels then buy leather pants.

So they can breathe. No one likes stinky sweaty b alls

so when women wear them they're a$$ hangs out! woo!

l think it is a gay thing.

they seem to be worn by every wanna be harley tool that thinks they are for wind protection and sliding down the road

Just goes to show you how much these so called bikers know

do some reasearch and see why they were worn

That is not what they're for. It is so you can wear a pair of shorts with chaps over the top, and when you get where you're going, you do not have to change pants, just take off the chaps.
Thanks to those who provided information about the lack of protection provided by them, as l was considering getting some, but l guess it is still ATGATT.

So that we can tell if your flashy bike is compensation for a small penis. And because they look great while marching in pride parades, with nothing underneath. l usually wear my chaps with a down jacket.

Because they are intended to protect your legs from thorns and cacti when you are riding a horse through rough country, the height of the horse protects the family jewels.
