Riding in hot weather makes radiator fan exhaust just skin melting, specifically the right lower leg, somewhere above the ankle.

So, found and bought one of these that someone makes at home. Not the most beautiful thing by far, yet functional.

Wish they used some jeans material to match my own jeans somewhat. Now it looks like I have a cast, I think.
 
That is ugly, might as well just get some chaps. Or kevlar jeans...and add a kevlar heat liner patched on the inside of the pant leg
 
I am afraid nowadays chaps might be seen as a signal of an alternative lifestyle. I'd like to stay away from misunderstandings.
 
Don’t ride in jeans… but that’s your free choice.
Rather wear them underneath your pants with taller socks to ensure comfort.
Mid mounts will help but at a severe price point.
Race boots, or taller riding boots
