Waterproof trousers or full chaps? – which are best for kids?
There is nothing worse than a soggy, miserable child in the yard, which is why the Just Chaps Dri-Rider range of riding waterproofs are so popular. But we are often asked which waterproofs will do the best job of helping to keep kids dry and warm: waterproof riding trousers or waterproof full chaps ? Which are best for kids?
Most importantly, both do the job of keeping you dry. And if you are dry, you are warmer. The trousers and full chaps are also hard-wearing – with a tough nylon shell and sturdy zips. Both styles also come in a wide range of waist, thigh and leg sizes to suit young riders of all ages, from tiny tots to teenagers
The basic difference between trousers and full chaps is that trousers cover your entire bottom half – from waist to ankle – whereas full chaps just cover the leg – from crotch to ankle.
Let’s look at each product in more detail.
Waterproof Full Chaps
Child Dri-Rider Full Chaps are the most flexible solution, with a fully adjustable, elasticated waistband and the option of wearing on the waist or lower on the hip. With full leg length zips, they are very easy to put on and remove – even in the saddle, so you can keep clean until just before entering the ring.
We have a summer weight in blue which is the perfect waterproof shell. For colder weather we have the fleece-lined in black for young riders who feel the cold.
Child Dri-Rider Trousers offer a complete waterproof riding solution whilst also featuring a grippy seat and hi-viz piping. They have convenient pockets and a high-fitting elasticated waist panel to keep them snug into the small of your back. Child Dri-Rider trousers are great for all round riding and messing around in the yard.
The latest addition to the range are the Toddler Waterproof trousers – a simple pull-on and go design – perfect for ponies, puddles and play – yet made to the same exacting standards as all other sizes.
All products in the Dri-Rider range – full chaps, trousers and toddler pull-on trousers – are easy care. All can be washed on a gentle 30 degree cycle with non-bio detergent. Please do not use fabric conditioner.
