Quick View
Men’s half chaps are a piece of equestrian clothing worn by horse riders in order to support and protect their lower legs while riding. They help to prevent the type of rubbing and chaffing that can be caused by stirrup leathers. When worn with paddock boots, men’s half chaps can be used in a similar manner to tall boots, serving as a source of grip while in the saddle.
What are the different types of men’s half chaps?
Men’s half chaps are commonly made out of leather, though they may also be made out of synthetic materials or a combination of leather and synthetic materials. Some half chaps incorporate features meant to increase rider comfort. This can include side panels to allow for greater breathability as well as more flexibility. Another common feature is a strap behind the knee which can help to ensure a proper, snug fit. In addition, half chaps are sometimes lined with a comfortable, soft material such as suede.
When to wear half chaps while horse riding
Most commonly, men’s half chaps are worn for schooling and everyday riding. They can be worn during training sessions, equestrian tournaments, and even during long rides. Due to their versatility, comfort, and relatively short break-in period, men’s half chaps are a popular choice among many horse riders.
