Lazy Rider's Leg Leathers have a proven design
with a tapered fit. They are made in the U.S.A. using only the highest quality and durable
synthetic leather. Many companies are now using this unique
material to make their saddle bags, luggage
and motorcycle seats. I have chosen to use
this man made synthetic leather over real leather for several
reasons. First , the product is always available and the uniformity and
quality are very dependable. Second, the material is extremely durable with
no maintenance except for a damp cloth. Third, the material does not sun or weather fade, thus no re-dyeing required.
Fourth, the Leg Leathers will not streak or crack
due to the various climate conditions a biker faces. Fifth, when
leather gets wet the dye often transfers to your jean legs and can
really makes a mess. The synthetic leather I use is water proof and the dye
will never fade onto your clothes. Sixth, for the purpose it is being
used, I offer you a product that competes well with leather, and in some
respects even better, for a much lower price. Your choice!
Besides, no one will ever know they are not leather unless you tell
them. These Leg Leathers are heavy duty, but not stiff, highly durable, yet have a
soft felt-like lining to insure maximum comfort. They are put together with
strong nylon stitching thread and a large, tough and smooth operating
zipper in the back. I chose this black nylon-plastic zipper over
the gaudy brass zipper because it is almost invisible and looks much
better. For what it's worth, the zipper I use cost 50% more than
the brass zippers. Just a quick smooth zip and you're out of here.
Protection is the primary purpose of this product. They help protect you
from rocks, bugs, cold wind, and water. The most enjoyable features, for
me, is that my pant legs no longer flap in the wind and don't blow up
around my knees and when it rains my pants no longer get soaked from the
knees down and fill my boots with water. Those things alone are reason
enough to own a pair of these great Leg Leathers.
Like most material, extreme
heat from tailpipes can cause surface marking of the product. Elongated
contact with hot tailpipes can result in some melting of the material.
Caution against hot tailpipes is advised as this product is not designed
for contact protection against extreme tailpipe heat.
In my effort to keep life simple, I only offer the Leg Leathers in a black color. The three styles offered are
currently First, "The Texan"
which is the Basic style with no Conchoas.
Second, "The Bandit"
the Fancy style with a single concha on each leg ) and
thirdly, "The Gringo" my
X-Fancy style that has a snake (backing design) with 3 conchas on each
leg.
The sizes are Small, Medium, Large,
and X-large. Check the "Size" link on the home page for
how to measure your leg and convert the measurement to the size Leg
Leathers you need. For the larger legs I offer extenders that
expand the diameter of the Leg Leathers to your size.
