All About Equestrian Chaps

Chaps are a tough outerwear article of clothing that fit over your legs to protect your pants from things such as thorns and brushes, dirt, rain, and rope burns. Chaps also help you maintain a secure seat in your saddle. Chaps are available in three basic styles - batwings, chinks and shotgun - and can be as plain or stylish as you like. Batwings are wide, full-length chaps that drag on the ground, while chinks fit loosely like batwings but only extend to just below your knees. Chinks are generally fringed at the ends. Shotguns fit snugly around your legs and are zipped into place. Chaps are generally made of suede or cowhide, but can come in other materials. They also come in various sizes and colors.
