FAQs
Can these chaps be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede texture and the integrity of the elastic panels. Hand cleaning is advised.
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure the widest part of your calf and the height from the back of your knee to your ankle bone while seated, then compare these to the manufacturer's size chart.
Are these suitable for showing?
While highly functional and durable for daily training, the suitability for formal show rings depends on specific discipline rules regarding suede vs. leather.
What is the purpose of the PRYM popper?
The popper closure acts as a security lock at the top of the zipper to prevent it from sliding down while riding.
Will these chaps stretch over time?
Suede may soften and slightly adapt to your leg shape over time, but the elastic paneling is designed to maintain consistent tension.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or hard to pull
Check for trapped dirt or debris in the zipper teeth and clean gently; applying a specialized zipper lubricant may also help.
Chap feels too tight around the calf
Ensure the ruched elastic panel is not twisted and verify you are wearing thin riding socks to minimize bulk.
Suede looks discolored or matted
Use a suede eraser or a stiff-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, measure your calf height and circumference while wearing your breeches. The chaps should feel snug but not restrictive. When putting them on, align the zipper carefully to avoid catching the interior fabric. For care, it is essential to brush off dirt and dried mud from the suede surface after every use with a soft-bristled brush. If the suede becomes heavily soiled, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack.
