Our range includes half chaps, gaiters, and waterproof trousers and full chaps, all designed with the rider in mind. One product in particular, however, has stood the test of time and remains a firm favourite among riders of all levels and discipines – All Purpose Half Chaps.
The Innovation Behind All Purpose Riding Chaps
When Just Chaps started to manufacture specialist Half Chaps, we revolutionised the equestrian market by introducing the first-ever neoprene half chaps. Unlike traditional leather or suede chaps, neoprene offers superior flexibility, durability, and comfort, making it an ideal material for riders of all levels.
Our All Purpose Riding Chaps were the very first product we designed, and they quickly became a best-seller. Today, they continue to be one of our most popular items, known for their comfort, fit, and performance in all riding conditions. Whether you’re hacking through the countryside, schooling in the arena, or simply enjoying a relaxed ride, these half chaps provide excellent support and protection.

Are neoprene Half Chaps better than Saltos Leather Half Chaps ?
We believe that no one type of Half Chaps is better than the other; all half chaps do the same job of protecting your lower leg from pinching of the stirrup strap.
However, certain textiles suit certain riders better. Perhaps you want to spend less – try All Purpose. Perhaps you are looking for a competition-smart option – try Saltos Leather Half Chaps. Horses for courses, as they say.
