The advantage is particularly evident in summer, because chaps can be quickly removed after riding. This way fresh air gets to the leg and the rider still wears comfortable boots. Chaps are particularly suitable for children, as they quickly outgrow expensive riding boots. Riding chaps are significantly cheaper and grow with you to a certain extent. Even beginners who are not yet sure about horseback riding make a good choice with chaps. Another advantage is the free combination option with riding boots. Has your calf become stronger through all the sport? Then you buy new chaps but keep your booties. Do you have cold feet in winter? Then you keep your riding chaps, but combine them with lined ankle boots. All options are open to you.
You have the choice between elegant bootlegs made of real leather, dressage chaps and so-called mini chaps. Dressage chaps and bootlegs are reminiscent of riding boots, because they are made of real leather or imitation leather, offer a zipper and a fixed elastic insert. They enclose your leg relatively tightly and have a dressage bow. Mini chaps are usually made from a combination of materials. Synthetic leather for good grip and polyester are combined. This makes Mini chaps much more flexible and comfortable to wear. They also often have a wide, ribbed elastic insert and may even have grip.
All types of chaps have a rubber band that runs under the boot and provides support. The zipper can be on the back or on the side and elastic inserts ensure a comfortable, supple fit on the rider's leg.
If you want to order your chaps from our online shop, you should first determine the correct size. It's best to get help, as your calves should be measured while standing. The length is measured on the inside of the leg from below the kneecap to the middle of the ankle. The circumference is measured at the thickest part of the calf. You can then use these measurements to order the chaps.
Whether you can wash your chaps in the washing machine depends entirely on the material. Chaps made of real leather should be cleaned with warm water, if necessary some leather soap (without harmful ingredients) and a soft sponge or cloth. Then care for them with shoe polish or polish without turpentine. You can wash chaps made of imitation leather or polyester according to the washing instructions. You can find this on a small piece of paper on the inside of the chaps. Follow these washing instructions to keep your chaps supple and beautiful for a long time.
Children grow out of clothing quickly. In equestrian sports, this can quickly become expensive. Therefore, cheap riding chaps from Busse, Elt or Suedwind at. These can be combined with the comfortable children's ankle boots and you can get them for under €30.
