Should I buy chaps for riding?
Hi! I'm thinking about getting a pair of half chaps. What are the pros and cons of having chaps? And if you have chaps, where did you buy them and can you recommend them?

Hi! I love my half chaps. They give me support and better grip, plus more freedom of movement than riding boots. They also protect against branches and the like when I am out hacking in the woods. They are usually a bit cheaper than boots, so I do not have to baby them as much.
My favourites are a pair of Dyon, but try a few different ones and you will be sure to find a pair that suits you👍🐴
Good luck!
