This is my first pair of chaps that I ever purchased. After reading the reviews of many, I settled on these to start with. I wanted to see if I would like them, and actually get some use out of them. I have yet to actually wear them, as winter is approaching. However, the quality of them seems pretty good . The stitching looks good, and they seem thick enough. I tried them on, with some jeans underneath and the fit was good also. I like the ability to adjust a little bit, with the extra holes and string in the back. I look forward to testing them out once the winter is over
