Full details

FAQs

Are these chaps machine washable?

It is recommended to wipe these chaps clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the elastic and the closure hardware.

How do I know which size to choose?

Measure your calf at the widest point and your leg height from the back of the knee to the base of your heel. Compare these numbers against the provided manufacturer size guide.

Can I use these for competition?

While these chaps are excellent for training and daily riding, check with your specific equestrian association rules regarding footwear and leg protection for formal competitions.

Will the material stretch over time?

The elastic panel is designed to provide some natural give for comfort, but the main body of the chaps is constructed to maintain its shape throughout regular use.

Are these suitable for all-weather riding?

They are water-resistant and durable, making them great for most riding conditions, though they are not explicitly marketed as fully waterproof.

Troubleshooting

The zipper is difficult to pull up

Ensure there is no dirt or grit trapped in the zipper teeth and confirm that your socks or riding pants are pulled taut and smooth underneath the chap.

Chaps feel loose around the calf

Double-check your measurements against the size chart; if they are brand new, ensure the elastic panel is positioned correctly against the thickest part of your calf.

Bottom closure keeps coming undone

Check the fastening mechanism for debris and ensure the strap is pulled to the appropriate tension to lock into place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible elastic panel ensures a snug and comfortable fit
  • Easy to clean synthetic material saves time after grooming
  • Secure closure system prevents slippage during active rides
  • Excellent value for high-frequency daily use

Cons

  • Synthetic material may not break in the same way as premium leather
  • Limited to specific sizing categories
  • Requires precise measurement for the best fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure you have measured your calf circumference and height accurately before your first ride. The chaps should feel snug but not restrictive. To put them on, ensure the zipper is fully open, step into the boot, and fasten the bottom closure firmly before zipping up.

Care is straightforward: simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove mud, dust, or hair. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might damage the synthetic finish. If the chaps become thoroughly soaked, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from cracking or losing its shape.
