Comfortable half chaps are part of that preparation, alongside suitable boots and riding clothing.<\/p>\n<p>The best half chaps for you are the ones that fit comfortably and have been thoroughly tried during training. Here we look at what to consider, with an example from rider Kelsey Elliot\u2019s preparations.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Look for in Your Half Chaps<\/h2>\n<p>Half chaps provide a layer between your lower leg and the stirrup leathers, helping to reduce rubbing. For long rides, consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A comfortable fit that stays secure.<\/li>\n<li>Flexibility through the calf and ankle.<\/li>\n<li>Compatibility with your riding boots and trousers.<\/li>\n<li>Durable materials and straightforward care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try your full combination of boots, socks, trousers and half chaps on longer training rides. This gives you time to identify any rubbing or discomfort before travelling.<\/p>\n<p>For an overview of the different materials and styles, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/horse-riding-half-chaps-guide\/\">Complete Guide to Riding Half Chaps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>All Purpose Riding Half Chaps<\/h2>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/all-purpose-neoprene-adult.html\">All Purpose Riding Half Chaps<\/a> are made from soft, stretchy neoprene. A stretch panel behind the zip provides additional flexibility in fit.<\/p>\n<p>They are lightweight, hard-wearing and machine washable, making them a practical option for riders who want comfortable kit that is easy to look after.<\/p>\n<p>If you need additional calf room, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/riding-half-chaps-zip-extension-panel.html\">Riding Half Chaps Zip Extension Panel<\/a> works with the All Purpose range. Choose the panel that matches the height of your half chaps.<\/p>\n<h2>Kelsey Elliot\u2019s Training Experience<\/h2>\n<p>When preparing for the Mongol Derby, Kelsey Elliot focused on spending more time riding and testing her kit.<\/p>\n<p>Her plans included a week of riding at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, beginning with a 25-mile endurance ride. She saw this as an opportunity to assess her progress and understand how much preparation she still needed.<\/p>\n<p>Kelsey also described building her horses\u2019 fitness through steady hill work and trotting. She gradually increased either the distance or the pace of each ride.<\/p>\n<p>During those preparations, she wore Just Chaps All Purpose Riding Half Chaps and reported that they were one part of her kit she did not need to worry about.<\/p>\n<h2>Check Your Fit Before Travelling<\/h2>\n<p>Measure around the widest part of your calf while wearing your riding trousers. For adult half chaps, use your height and calf measurement to select a size with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/find-the-perfect-fit\">sizing guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Your half chaps should feel snug and comfortable. Check that you can fasten the zip without forcing it, then try them with the boots you intend to take.<\/p>\n<p>Allow time to test any new pair during training. Familiar kit that you have worn on several rides will give you a clearer idea of how it feels over longer distances.<\/p>\n<h2>Need Help Choosing?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are preparing for the Mongol Derby and would like help choosing your half chaps, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/contact-the-just-chaps-team\">contact the Just Chaps team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us your height, calf measurement and which boots you plan to wear. We can help you choose a suitable style and size to try during your preparations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing for the Mongol Derby means choosing riding kit you can rely on for long days on horseback.
