Choosing a shorter fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding half chaps or gaiters in the right height can be difficult if you need a shorter fit. A pair that is too tall may press behind the knee or bunch around the ankle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Chaps offers Extra Short and Short heights across our adult half chaps and gaiters ranges, with a choice of calf widths. This guide explains how to choose a suitable height, width and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should a shorter pair fit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Half chaps and gaiters should sit comfortably below the back of the knee and fit closely around the calf and ankle. You should be able to bend your knee freely, and the zip should close securely without being forced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the height and calf width separately. Needing a shorter pair does not necessarily mean you need a smaller calf size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half chaps and gaiters in shorter heights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wear half chaps or gaiters with short riding boots. For everyday riding, choose from neoprene, suede, breathable fabric or leather styles. Leather gaiters offer a more traditional appearance for riders who prefer the look of long boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
