FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and the height from the bend of your knee to the sole of your boot. Consult the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer.
What is the best way to clean leather half chaps?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely away from heat. Follow up with a leather conditioner.
Can I use these half chaps in wet weather?
Leather offers some water resistance, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are properly dried and conditioned afterward.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Typically, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended for regular riders.
Will these chaps fit over any boots?
They are designed to fit over most standard riding boots and paddock boots. Ensure your boots are not excessively bulky.
What is the main benefit of wearing leather half chaps?
Leather half chaps provide protection, support, and a closer feel to the horse's side, enhancing rider comfort and control.
Troubleshooting
Chaps feel too stiff
Condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner and wear them for short periods to allow them to break in gradually.
Zipper is difficult to close
Ensure no leather or fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil to the teeth.
Leather shows scuff marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or conditioner may be effective.
Chaps feel uncomfortable after extended wear
This may indicate they need further breaking in or that the sizing is not quite right. Ensure they are not too tight initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These half chaps are designed to be worn over standard riding boots or paddock boots. They are suitable for most equestrian disciplines.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your leather half chaps, clean them regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Apply a leather conditioner periodically, following the product's specific instructions. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
