More questions on leathers...

Which do you find cooler, leather pants (worn instead of regular pants,
not over top) or chaps worn over jeans?
Do the open areas on chaps more than compensate for the double layer
of material around your legs in terms of staying cooler?
This business of staying cool is important to me because I want the
protection of leather in case of wipeout but I know I won't wear them
if my legs start melting from the heat of the rear 2 cylinders (Honda Sabre).

Regarding colour and toughness, my local custom leather apparel maker
assures me that, despite what I have read on the net about black being
tougher due to processing differences, colour has no effect.
They just throw it in  a drum with some dye. Black, brown, green,
or paisley (:-P) it's all the same. It's just that black will hide scuffs
and stains better than lighter colours.
