Why Do Riders Need Dri-Rider Fleece Lined Full Chaps?
- Warmth – One of the standout features of Dri-Rider full chaps is their cosy microfleece lining. This high-tech material is a game-changer for anyone who feels the cold – or suffers from chillblains. This micro layer of fleece traps warmth effectively without adding bulk, ensuring your legs stay toasty warm even on the frostiest days.
- Comfort – Dri-Rider full chaps are easy to wear and very comfortable. With no restriction at the hips, movement is not restricted.
- Easy Care – simply zip up the zips and close the velcro, wash on a warm wash with non-bio detergent and no fabric softener. Dry away from direct heat ie the radiator.
How are Full Chaps Waterproof and Windproof?
Just Chaps and Dri-Rider (Just Chaps’ Waterproofs range) are at the top of the technical game in terms of waterproofing. Having won several industry awards for product development, you can be assured that you are buying a serious piece of kit.
Dri-Rider Full Chaps are made using a traditional 3-layer construction:
- the outer layer is made from Taslon – a durable, windproof and water repellant shell
- the mid layer is an impermeable membrane. This critical high performance membrane is both breathable, which means it allows moisture such as body sweat to escape, while preventing rain droplets from getting in. It is also windproof. For performance statistics please see the table below.
- the micro fleece lining adds warmth without bulk
Are Waterproof Full Chaps Washable?
Yes. To wash your waterproof chaps simply fasten the zips, velcro and buckle and pop in the washer on a warm cycle (max 40 degrees). Use only a non-bio detergent and no fabric softener (it clogs the membrane). Hang to dry. Do not dry on direct heat such as a radiator as this causes premature degrading of the membrane.
Are Waterpoof Full Chaps Comfortable?
Yes! Dri-Rider Waterproof Full Chaps are designed to be very comfortable with zero restriction at the hip. With a fully adjustable waist with elastic at the back and an adjustable buckle at the front – you have your perfect fit. Simply measure your thigh and inner leg to find your ideal size. There is no need to worry about the waist size as this is fully adjustable.
Technical Performance
The impermeable membrane that we use has the following technical features:
- Waterproof rating: up to 10,000mm (designed for sustained rain protection)
- Breathability: 3,000–5,000 g/m²/24h (helps reduce overheating during active wear)
