Full details
The LeMieux Drytex Stormwear Waterproof Chaps are designed for young riders who require reliable protection against harsh winter weather while maintaining comfort in the saddle. Featuring a durable, fully waterproof, and wind-resistant membrane with a soft fleece lining, these chaps ensure warmth and dryness during outdoor sessions. While they offer excellent protection against the elements, users should note that they are specifically tailored for riding and may feel restrictive if worn for non-equestrian activities over long periods.

How do I maintain the silicone grips?
Keep them clean of dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the silicone material.

Troubleshooting
Legs riding up during movement
Ensure the elasticated foot straps are correctly hooked under the boot and tensioned properly.
Water soaking through during heavy rain
Check that all seams are clear of debris and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if the garment has been heavily used or washed many times.
Difficulty fitting over riding boots
Fully release the bottom Velcro adjustments before pulling the chaps on, then secure them once the boots are in position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, pull the chaps over your breeches and adjust the Velcro closures at the bottom to secure them snugly over your riding boots. Ensure the elasticated foot straps are positioned correctly under the sole of your boot to keep the legs in place during activity. For care, it is recommended to wipe down mud after use. When washing, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent—avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the silicone grips.
