- Step into the chaps and pull them up over the top of your riding layers.
- Fasten and adjust the waistband so it sits securely without pinching.
- Pass the elasticated boot straps under the boot and adjust so the hems sit level and do not ride up.

- After use, hang to dry naturally and wash with a technical fabric cleaner following the care label.

FAQ
Are these chaps fully waterproof?
Yes. The DryTex Stormwear Chaps are fully waterproof with a 5000mm rating, so rain beads and runs off rather than soaking through, and they are also rated to 4000mvp for breathability.
What size chaps should I order?
Chaps are worn over breeches, so choose your usual size and allow for the layer underneath. If you are between sizes or wear thick winter base layers, size up. Check leg length as well as waist measurement, as an over-long hem will gather at the ankle.
Will they slip in the saddle?
Silicone knee grips are built into the knee area to help maintain stability in the saddle, and adjustable elasticated boot straps stop the hems rising while you ride.
Are they warm enough for winter?
They have a thermal fleece lining for added warmth, which makes them suitable for cold, wet days riding and working on the yard.
Can I wear them over tall riding boots?
Yes. The full-length cut and adjustable elasticated boot straps allow the chaps to sit over tall or short boots, with the straps holding the hems in place.
How should I wash them?
Fasten the zip, follow the care label, use a technical fabric cleaner rather than standard detergent or fabric conditioner, and avoid high heat so the waterproof finish is not affected.
