Get the better Harley ones. You can't beat the price, especially 20% from one of the online dealers or Jenny. I had the cheaper ones first and the snaps pulled out, plus they get real hard to put on when it's cold. The better ones are one of the few good deals from Harley. Must have been a little cold in TN this morning. I looked at Bowling Green at 8 am and it was 9 degrees. Colder than here in MA.

Ditto on the Roadspirits! On/off fast and come with storage pouch. Cutouts were perfect for my highway pegs with no modification needed. He has them on Ebay too sometimes and you can bid on them.

The nylon ones are pretty strong and cut nice. Just use a very sharp utility knife and take your time. I was going to stich a hem around the opening but didn't need to. I'll try to get a picture when I get out to the shed as I got about a foot of snow on the ground now......... Maybe by Saturday.

I use Desert Dawgs not only for the cold but also to ease battling the wind when it's trying to blow my boots off the floor boards. Boot Dr heel guards help in this regard too.

I carry mine in the bag all the time. I can take them off or put them on in the dark in less than 4 min. less if I can see.

I could not believe how much air they divert off of my feet,legs,and even my face in my case with the RG. Here are some pics of mine fron Air Lite.

+1 on the desert dawgs. Keeps your feet dry in the rain too.
