Half Chaps for Wider Calves
The Just Chaps journey began in 2003 with a mere handful of sizes. Before long it was clear that customers needed a great range of products in an even greater range of sizes. How did we develop a range of Half Chaps for wider calves that are exceptional in fit, look and affordability? Let’s look at this range and find the perfect pair for you.
Designs for All Calf Widths
The design – and by that we mean the cut and shape – of the Half Chaps 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 all sizes. 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 was made from neoprene and we called it the All Purpose, because it is just that. Neoprene is a wonderful textile and perfect for the job. It keeps its shape, is stretchy and washable. Our All Purpose design was developed to include wider sizes from Small 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.
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 fit comfortably over chunky riding boots.
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.
Saltos Leather in Wide Fit
If you prefer a leather option, take a look at our Saltos Half Chaps & Gaiters in exquisite leather. Just Chaps has won industry awards in both products and when you try them, you will understand why. Both designs come in all width fittings and fit a calf of more than 50+cm. Take a look at how well they performed in Horse & Hound.
