Let&#8217;s explore both options to help you make an informed purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-dri-rider-range\">The Dri-Rider Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As all equestrians know, there is nothing worse than getting wet and cold. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/waterproofs.html\">Dri-Rider<\/a> range of riding waterproofs are high-performance, technical kit which we designed specifically to prevent you from being cold and wet. This blog will talk you through our range of waterproofs to help you decide which are most useful for you. We developed the Dri-Rider range of waterproofs to help horse riders of all ages, sizes and disciplines stay dry and warm whether they&#8217;re in the yard, in the saddle or at a show. This high-performance range, which has earned the team at Just Chaps 2 industry awards, will do an excellent job of keeping you dry. Let&#8217;s look at our Dri-Rider Trousers and Dri-Rider Full Chaps individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waterproof-full-chaps\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/summer-weight-dri-riders-adult.html\"><strong>Waterproof Full Chaps<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riders wear Full Chaps to protect their legs completely, from top to bottom. Full Chaps are flexible and comfortable to wear due, in the main part, to the fully adjustable waist with elastic at the back and an adjustable clasp at the front. We secure the legs with 2 full-length zips and cover the zips with storm flaps, into which we added a discreet Hi Viz piping. The ankle is secured with an adjustable strap and ride-up is prevented by the adjustable stirrups straps. Our full chaps are easy to wear and can be removed from the saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help protect riders from all weathers, we developed two versions of the Dri-Rider Full Chaps. We added a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/dri-riders-adult-black.html\">Micro-fleece lining<\/a> for warmth without bulk, perfect for those who feel the cold or suffer from chillblains. By contrast, we added a wicking lining to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/summer-weight-dri-riders-adult.html\">lightweight version<\/a> which transforms them into the perfect year-round waterproof shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"waterproof full chaps by Just Chaps in blue\" class=\"wp-image-974\" style=\"width:363px;height:363px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Just-Chaps-Summer-Waterproof-Dri-Riders-1-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Waterproof Full Chaps by Just Chaps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waterproof-riding-trousers\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/waterproof-riding-trousers-adult.html\"><strong>Waterproof Riding Trousers<\/strong> <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"931\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterproof-riding-trousers-by-just-chaps--931x1024.jpg\" alt=\"lady rider wearing dri-rider waterproof trouers in the yard pushing a wheelbarrow\n\" class=\"wp-image-978\" style=\"width:372px;height:408px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterproof-riding-trousers-by-just-chaps--931x1024.jpg 931w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterproof-riding-trousers-by-just-chaps--273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterproof-riding-trousers-by-just-chaps--768x845.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterproof-riding-trousers-by-just-chaps--1396x1536.jpg 1396w, https:\/\/www.justchaps.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/waterproof-riding-trousers-by-just-chaps--1862x2048.jpg 1862w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our waterproof trousers are multi award-winning, crowned  &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.horseandhound.co.uk\/reviews\/horse-riding-clothes\/just-chaps-waterproof-riding-trousers\">Best in Test<\/a>&#8221; by Horse &amp; Hound and &#8220;Best Waterproof Trousers&#8221; by Horse &amp; Rider magazine. As a result, you can be confident of an excellent product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk you through some of the features. Most importantly, our trousers are comfortable and lightweight to wear with a non-slip seat and deep elastic panel at the back. We use only the latest waterproofing technology in our Dri-Rider range. The fabric is a fully-waterproof two-layer technology and we tape all seams. The two layers comprise a tough yet lightweight outer (with an impermeable membrane attached) and a breathable mesh lining. In terms of testing, this fabric meets standards EN 343 3.3 &#8211; which is the highest level of waterproofness and breathability. This equates to a testing of up to 15,000mm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have recently introduced the Dri-Rider Country Waterproof Trousers &#8211; equally high performance as the riding trousers but without the riding features. That means we&#8217;ve removed the non-slip seat and stirrup straps.
