Riding chaps
Chaps can be removed quickly after riding. This allows fresh air to reach the leg and the rider still wears comfortable ankle boots. Chaps are particularly suitable for children, as they quickly outgrow expensive riding boots. Riding chaps are significantly cheaper and grow with the child to a certain extent.
What types of chaps are there?
Dressage caps and boot shafts
- are reminiscent of a riding boot
- are made of genuine leather or imitation leather
- offer a zip and a fixed elastic insert
- enclose your leg relatively tightly and have a dressage arch
Mini chaps
- soft polyester exterior, imitation leather trim on the inside of the leg
- straight cut
- often ribbed elasticated insert for a better fit
- "Grows" slightly in width
Can chaps be washed?
How to care for your riding chaps
Whether you can wash your chaps in the washing machine depends entirely on the material. You should clean genuine leather chaps with warm water, a little leather soap if necessary (without harmful ingredients) and a soft sponge or cloth. Then treat them with shoe polish or polish without turpentine. You can wash chaps made of artificial leather or polyester according to the washing instructions. You will find these on a small label on the inside of the chaps. Follow these washing instructions to keep your chaps supple and beautiful for a long time.
