Your Half Chaps need to be the perfect fit. This makes designing and manufacturing Half Chaps no mean feat. The size and shape of rider’s lower leg varies dramatically from lean, long and sinewy to short and round. And that was the challenge. To be able to fit half chaps around riders legs of all shapes and sizes.
Fast forward nearly 20 years and we believe we’ve cracked it. We were hell bent on being able to fit all riders with comfortable, great-fitting half chaps. And we believe that we have done just that – almost every rider leaves us with a pair of snug, great-looking half chaps.
Why Do I Need Half Chaps ?
Riders need Half Chaps to protect the lower leg from pinching. When you’re riding the stirrup strap will pinch and bruise the lower leg – wearing Half Chaps prevents this. But it doesn’t end there. Your half chaps need to be the perfect fit.
How Do I Know when my half chaps are the perfect fit?
Wearing the right size in Half Chaps is very important. Riders do not want their Half Chaps twisting or moving around when they’re riding. So how do you know your size…? firstly, you will need a tape measure and then either:
- use our Sizing Calculator on each product page
- take a look on-line, and follow our Find Your Perfect Fit guide
- take a look at our Find Your Perfect Fit video
- visit the Just Chaps stand at one of the largest equestrian events, where we will fit you
