Soft Lowers?

Soft Lowers?
I am getting ready for a multiple-day ride from CO up north through Wy and the Dakotas. I am guessing I will encounter all the seasons (rain, possibly minimal snow). I am interested in the soft lowers on my EG Classic for warmth and helping to keep my feet dry.
I do have boot covers and wonder if the soft lowers might be overkill. The HD catalog has cautions in regards to using the lowers in temps above 50f due to possible overheating issues.
Any input appreciated,
Mike

You can always just carry them in your saddlebags like rain gear, use 'em if you need to. That's what I'm going to do.
FWIW, I just - as in five minutes ago - finished some serious research on soft lowers, and ended up ordering a set of Sage Brush Designs Engine Guard Chaps. Worth a look for you, anyway > http://www.sagebrushdesigns.com/

I have the HD soft lowers for my Road King and they are the best money I ever spent at a dealership (they were cheap, maybe $40.) They work astonishingly well for keeping your legs warm and are easy to install and remove. But they aren't kidding about not using them over about 50°F - much above that and you can smell the engine running hot if you sit for a minute.

I was at a swap meet a couple of weeks ago and a guy had a set that were maybe used once or twice... I wasn't really looking for them, but when the guy said they could be mine for 4 bucks I jumped. I'm looking forward to using them, but so far (and I'm not complaining) it hasn't been cool enough to use them.

I had them for my VTX from Chilhowee in Grants Pass OR. They were more expensive than some here but very nice quality and good folks to work with. www.chilhowee.net

H-D must think so, too, or they wouldn't have a warning with the soft lowers . . .
