Leathers tucked in or out?

Ok, so here is something I never understood, why is it that some folks tuck their leathers into their boots, while others wear them outside their boots, I had never thought about it until I saw it on moto gp today and it got me thinking

I think its personal preference really. I go either way depending on what pair of leathers I'm wearing at the time.

My leathers don't even fit over my boots, I never even thought of wearing them over the boots

But I went riding with a guy a few weeks ago and he left his pants unzipped at the bottom and over his boots.

Real race suits are meant to be tucked into the boots. Yes, Dainese made a suit that went over the boot, but not many people bought it, and I'm pretty sure it faded out.

My old leather pants went over the boots and I preferred it personally. I didn't like the added bulk in my boot. besides, I think it looks better, myself.

Rossi's suit still goes OVER his boots. so can't really say it faded out...

but yeah it's how the suit was made... some are meant to go over others to be tucked in. also I think the type of boot you have makes a difference. ie look at the A*'s and then look at Dainese's... the top of the A*'s are huge it'd look retarded pulling your suit over that.
