Getting the size right
Why is it so important to get the right size Half Chaps ?
Properly fitted half chaps can improve both the comfort and performance for riders, whereas, ill-fitting chaps can lead to discomfort and chafing. A snug fit helps the lower leg stay in place and provides protection and support.
Am I the same size for all styles?
Probably not, is the answer. Let us talk through the differences between products so that sizing and finding your size is straightforwards.
- Saltos Gaiters have minimal stretch. The leather is lined so that they keep their form.
- Saltos Half Chaps have both a stretch leather panel and are made from unlined leather, both features allow great flexibility and “give”.
- All Purpose neoprene offer the greatest amount of stretch
- Suede Half Chaps will also “give” as the suede is a natural breathable textile
How to measure for riding half chaps or gaiters
To find your perfect fit Half Chaps – or gaiters – simply grab a tape measure and
- measure around the calf at its widest
- know the approximate height of the rider
