Half Chaps for Wider Calves
The Just Chaps journey began in 2003 with only a few sizes of half chaps being manufactured. Before long it was clear that customers needed a wider range of products and an even wider range of sizes, with specific sizes for wider calves.
How did Just Chaps develop a range of Half Chaps for wider calves that fit and look great and are affordable at the same time? Let’s look at the range of wider half chaps and find the perfect pair for you.
Designs for All Calf Widths
The design of half chaps – and by that we mean the cut and shape – is essential. The shape needs to cope with a full ratio of sizes that actually fit the leg. That’s the important bit…. a shape that actually fits the lower leg of as many riders as possible. Once we had perfected the design it was time to experiment with different textiles. Let’s look at those that work best for Half Chaps with wider calves.
Neoprene : perfect for larger calves.
Our first design – the All Purpose – is made from neoprene. This is a wonderful textile and perfect for the job in hanf. It keeps its shape, is stretchy and washable. Our All Purpose design was developed to include wider sizes from Short Wide up to Medium Extra Wide which will stretch to fit a calf 50+cm. We rarely disappoint riders with our selecction of chaps for wider calves. And on top of this, All Purpose neoprene fit comfortably over chunky riding boots. If you like a stretchy and comfortable pair of chaps that you can wash, try All Purpose. More on best-selling All Purpose here.
Classic Suede
Suede Half Chaps are another great option for the wider calf. Suede is soft and pliable yet very durable. It moulds easily to the leg and has a good amount of give and grip on the saddle. Take a look at our Classic Suede Half Chaps which are available in all the wide fits. Suede chaps also fit comfortably over chunky riding boots.
Cool Half Chaps
Cool Half Chaps are not only for Summer. These lightweight and washable Half Chaps are perfect for year round use for any rider who likes a lightweight option. Made from perforated faux suede, Cool let your legs breathe and of course are available in all wide-fits and fit well over chunky boots. Cool Chaps are perfect for riding holidays and of course long hours in the saddle. If you’re interested in a Safari holiday, read about what to pack here. There are wonderful holiday options here.

Just Chaps has won industry awards with both Saltos Half Chaps and Saltos Gaiters, and when you try them, you will understand why.
