Description
LeMieux Young Rider Stormwear Waterproof Chaps
The LeMieux Young Rider Stormwear Waterproof Chaps are full-length, fleece-lined waterproof chaps worn over breeches or jodhpurs to keep young riders dry and warm in wet weather. They are best for winter schooling, hacking and yard work, with a DryTex Stormwear outer rated to 5000mm waterproof and 4000mvp breathability so rain beads and runs off.
Silicone knee grips add stability in the saddle, reinforced knees and inner lower leg handle daily wear, and reflective details help riders be seen in dim conditions. Sizing is unisex, making them a practical choice for growing riders on busy winter yards.

- Pull the chaps on over your riding layers and long boots or jodhpur boots.
- Adjust the waistband so the chaps sit securely without restricting movement.
- Fit the elasticated boot straps under the boots so the hems stay down while mounted.
- Check the silicone knee grips sit over the knee contact area before mounting.
- After use, brush off mud, rinse with clean water and dry naturally away from direct heat.

FAQ
Are these chaps fully waterproof?
Yes. The DryTex Stormwear outer is fully waterproof, rated to 5000mm, so rain beads and runs off rather than soaking in. Breathability is rated to 4000mvp.
What size should I order if I am between sizes?
Order the larger size. The chaps are worn over breeches or jodhpurs and long boots, so extra room through the leg and calf is usually more comfortable, and the adjustable waistband takes up any slack.
Can they be worn for riding as well as yard work?
Yes. Silicone knee grips give stability in the saddle and elasticated boot straps stop the hems riding up, so they suit schooling, hacking, lunging, groundwork and mucking out.
Are they warm enough for winter?
They have a thermal fleece lining that adds warmth on cold, wet days while the stretch outer allows freedom of movement.
How should I care for them?
Brush off dried mud and rinse with clean water rather than scrubbing. Dry naturally away from direct heat to protect the waterproof finish and fleece lining, and always follow the garment care label.
Are they suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the sizing is unisex.
