In an effort to satisfy the needs of more and more riders, Just Chaps now offers 3 different styles of Leather Riding Chaps. How do you know which style is for you?  Let’s have a look at what each style offers:

Just Chaps Classic Leather

The workaday and traditional option for many riders. Made from hard-wearing aniline leather for a smart look these chaps are cut from the original Just Chaps shape to hug the leg and come with a side zip for easy wear. The leather stretch panel down the side gives a flexible fit and a the tough YKK zip and sturdy popper are both long-lasting. Sizes start at Child Small, which will generally fit an 8 year old and includes 10 Adult sizes which are so well designed that we feel confident to fit practically all riders.

Saltos Premium Leather Gaiters

The smartest option. In response to an ever-growing demand for gaiters – and by that we mean half chaps which zip down the back – Just Chaps launched their premium Saltos Gaiters. Designed with passion and know-how by a team of riders in the UK, the Saltos Gaiters are elegant, great fitting and great looking with a shaped Spanish top-line. Made from only the best Full Grain Aniline leather for a soft yet durable finish and lined with a wicking lining so that the leather does not “give”. The Saltos Gaiters have an elastic stretch panel at the back to allow a comfortable, flexible fit with a sturdy YKK zip for closure. Available in 7 width fittings to accommodate up to a 50cm calf.

Saltos New Generation Premium Leather

New Generation was born out of a need for a riding chap that is easy-to-fit and elegant. Easy because of a side zip opening (not everyone favours the back zip) and an elegant, leg-hugging shape. Made from beautifully soft full-grain aniline leather and with a clever stretch leather panel the New Generation are proving yet another winner.

SALTOS Half Chaps to be launched at Badminton Horse Trials

Just Chaps are proud to launch Saltos Half Chaps – representing a new generation in premium riding leg wear.

Saltos Half Chaps combine the great looks and feel of top quality gaiters with the simplicity, comfort and durability of their renowned half chaps.

Premium full-grain aniline leather is exquisitely cut to fit the calf snugly and is elegantly finished with a Spanish top line.

An easy-to-reach side zip is retained, along with a stretch front panel at the ankle to fit easily over the majority of riding boots.

Helen Salmon, Just Chaps MD will be at Badminton Horse Trials to oversee the introduction of the latest addition to the Saltos range.

“We have spent the last year working with our designers to develop a new generation of legwear that bridges the gap between Half Chaps and gaiters. We are confident that riders will look and feel great in our new Saltos Half Chaps, and will not be breaking the bank in the process!”

The Just Chaps team will be ready to give advice and free fitting on stand 239 opposite the World of the Horse marquee – so please come and try these great new half chaps for yourself or get in touch.
