[RC] Riding in Chaps - k s swigartI have ridden endurance in english, suede schooling chaps. I have thought about getting some custom made smooth leather ones, but have balked a bit at the price (and have convinced myself that I am going to lose some weight/inches as I train for and do more ride & ties so don't want to spend the money for custom made chaps that aren't going to fit any more...wishful thinking). Additionally, I have found full seat breeches (I get mine from Equissentials) are cheaper (but probably don't last as long) and more comfortable because they are made of 4-way stretch material and work just as well as full chaps for everything except keeping your breeches from getting torn in the brush (full chaps are great for this). Full chaps are not as flexible as full seat breeches, and they can be kinda hot. kat Orange County, Calif. p.s. I also ride endurance in tall boots, and have my doubts that full chaps would work very well with them. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
