Here we look at the key features needed in a pair of men&#8217;s half chaps; what materials are recommended and why; top products and styles and how to maintain them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-features-for-men-s-half-chaps\">Key Features for Men&#8217;s Half Chaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Durability: stitching, zips, poppers. Just Chaps use only original YKK zips in the manufacture of the men&#8217;s half chaps together with the best poppers and stitching. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best materials for everyday use. The leather and suede is chosen to withstand the rigours of equestrian daily use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ease of maintenance. Our men&#8217;s half chaps can be maintained with ease and in just a few minutes. There is more information below, alongside each product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-size-men-s-half-chaps-do-i-need-can-you-fit-tall-riders\">What Size Men&#8217;s Half Chaps do I Need? Can you fit Tall Riders? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men (typically) have a longer lower leg than women and therefore require our longer sizes. We advise a very close fit for half chaps so that they do not twist or rub when worn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/ustchaps.com\/find-the-perfect-fit\">Sizing Guide<\/a> is easy to follow, but as a general rule of thumb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Rider over 5&#8217;6&#8243; will take Medium length Half Chaps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Rider approx 6&#8242; will take a Long length Half Chaps <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Rider over 6&#8242; will take Extra Long length Half Chaps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>note : all the above lengths have varying width fittings. Measure your calf at its widest to find your perfect fit. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-should-men-s-half-chaps-fit\">How should Men&#8217;s Half Chaps Fit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men&#8217;s Half Chaps should fit close to the lower leg, as snug as possible. Too tight and they will be uncomfortable; too loose and they will twist. Pick the size which gives you as close a fit as possible; the leather or suede will give as you wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-men-s-half-chaps-are-best\">Which Men&#8217;s Half Chaps are Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men generally choose either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/classic-suede-adult.html\">Classic Suede Half Chaps<\/a>: traditional no-nonsense half chaps made from durable suede that offers great grip in the saddle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/saltos-premium-leather-half-chaps-adult.html\">Saltos Half Chaps<\/a>: our best-selling and award-winning leather Half Chaps (read about them in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horseandhound.co.uk\/buyers-guides\/best-half-chaps-gaiters-horse-riders-2019-675645\">Horse and Hound<\/a>) are perfect for everyday riding yet smart enough for competition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-maintenance-of-men-s-half-chaps\">Maintenance of Men&#8217;s Half Chaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Classic Suede Half Chaps, require little attention. Simply hang to dry (away from direct heat) and brush to remove dirt and dander. There&#8217;s more to read on Classic Suede <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/classic-suede-half-chaps-tradition-at-its-best\/\">here<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saltos Leather Half Chaps will continue to look their best and last longer with a little attention. Simply remove dirt and dander with a damp soapy sponge and then feed with a leather oil or cream.

Do you struggle to find Long Boots ? We have the perfect alternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-men-s-full-chaps\">Men&#8217;s Full Chaps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cover the entire leg from top to bottom. Riders wear Full Chaps to keep clean, stay dry and to protect clothing. At Just Chaps we have two Full Chaps options &#8211; both are waterproof. One is a lightweight waterproof shell, ideal for year-round use. The other has a micro-fleece lining, perfect for the colder months.

What differs normally is the size &#8211; generally men take Half chaps in a Long or Tall; most women wear Half Chaps in sizes Short or Medium length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This article gives you a great deal of information to buy the best men&#8217;s half chaps.
