Nomad USA Deep Pocket Elastic Fit Motorcycle Leather Chaps (5XL)

Ok, so I am 5'8", about 240, with 27" thighs. I have always had trouble getting decent chaps because I am short with big thighs. I ordered a 3X due to the thigh size. They are actually a little baggy around my thighs, which is awesome. I had to trim about 8" from the bottoms, leaving just 1 snap, because I have a 30" inseam. Don't worry about the length, you can just grab a pair of scissors and shorten them. Look at the waist (which is adjustable from tiny to massive), and the thigh size.These seem to be good quality, nice thickness of the leather, and the hardware feels solid. The fit is good, just have to break them in now, because they are stiff. I recommend them based on the quality, fit, and the elastic patch on the inner thigh for movement. Good price, and you get a good pair of chaps.

These chaps are excellent for the price. The leather feels thick, strong, and well made, and the zippers feel solid. The fit is great, I'm 6'0" tall and I normally wear size 33/32 or 33/34 in pants. I ordered the medium and as you can see, the length is quite good and I still have plenty of room left to adjust the waist. They have tear away buttons at the bottom of the leg and zippers above that so they can be put on and taken off without removing your boots. They feel a little stiff but that's normal with real leather and should get better as I break them in. I'm very pleased with these chaps and don't think I could have found anything better at this price point!The jacket I'm wearing in some of the pictures is the Nomad USA Classic Biker Jacket (M) which I also highly recommend!

I had the opportunity to get a pair of leather chaps from Nomad USA. I have never worn or even tried on a pair of chaps before so this was something new. I ordered a Large and they do fit but there is WAY too much material through the legs and I have large legs. The length is correct as I am 5'10, course if you are shorter they can be easily off to fit at the bottoms.The chaps are real heavy duty leather and they would offer a lot of support through all types of weather, or if you were to go down. The snaps are very well made and have YKK zippers. The chaps have two methods of closure- they zip shut first and then snap for a nicer look plus it allows them to stay together. The two legs are held together and tied at the back with a leather string. They have deep pockets made into them on both sides.Although the chaps look to be made well, I did not like the fitment on me.

The leather is pretty stiff. That's a good thing, but it also makes it harder to roll up. I'm sure it'll soften up with use. The front zipper pocket is really nice. I have large hands that barely fit in them. I think those pockets will be ruined by my ham hands if I put anything in those pockets that can't be pulled out from the top with a few fingers, like a phone. They are deep enough that I can put my fist in there a little past my wrist. Plenty of room for a phone. The flap of leather that covers the zipper is a good looking, heavy duty chunk of material. The zipper isn't YKK, but it is a very rugged design and I highly doubt I will have any problems with it. Last, unlike some leather that reeks when it first came out of the bag and for a while afterwards, this smelled fine.My thigh is 25", waist is 38" and I wear 36" long pants. The fitment chart shows that I could go with either an XL. I picked the 2xl for a little extra space when I'm wearing lined jeans on those really cold days. It was actually just a hair bigger than a perfect fit as I'd hoped. I could comfortable pinch an inch of material (1/2 " on either side of the pinch) and it would fit just right, so I'd say that the fitment chart is pretty close to correct. If your leg/length dimensions are the same as mine and you don't plan on riding in real cold weather, the XL might be fine.Overall, I think these were a steal for the price. If designers are watching, my only real suggestion would be to make those zippered front pockets about 1/2 an inch wider.

Great quality for the price, they fit perfect and they keep me warm. I wore these for a motorcycle ride on Christmas day, 33 degrees, and was warm as toast. They fit great, feel comfortable and easy to put on and take off. I do want to mention the finish on these, they are not as shiny as my leather motorcycle jacket, (Xxelement B7100 Classic) so there not a perfect match there, but they function great.

For the price, can't go wrong with these. What I like is two zippered pockets because if you ever tried to get anything out of your front pocket while wearing chaps, you already know. Medium thickness leather is more than adequate for Southern California and folds up nicely for your saddlebag. HD leg zippers and bottom snaps and leg liners. A little loose on me but that's my fault for losing weight and skipping leg day. Easily cut 4 inches off the bottom as they were longer than needed. Don't have anything "bad" to say about these. Put about 15.000 miles on them through our "winter" with no issues.
