Has anyone ever tried those wrap on style, nylon chaps? If so how do they compare with the pull on leather ones? Besides the price.

I was thinking more of the warmth factor.

Have to agree with Dustin, in the event of a slide you'll get more protection with the leather chaps. Warmth will be about the same,depending on the weight/weave of the nylon. Leather is definatly windproff.
