Leather Chap

A leather chap is a type of leg protection worn by horse riders, typically made from leather or synthetic materials. Chaps (short for "chaparreras") are worn over the rider's pants and boots to provide protection from the elements, brush, and abrasions. They usually extend from the waist down to the ankle or stirrup and may have a buckle or tie closure. Leather chaps are popular among horse enthusiasts, particularly in Western riding disciplines, as they offer durability, comfort, and style. They come in various styles. Leather chaps are a practical and fashionable accessory for horse riders, providing protection and comfort in the saddle.
