Anybody who has ridden a horse is familiar with the wide-leg stance atop the horse and the uncomfortable chaffing of the legs as the horse increases speed. Cowboy chaps have been invented to make the experience of riding a horse more about the riding and less about the hassle.

The leather material of cowboy chaps prevents the awkward chaffing of the leg and is also resistant to the elements. It will not wear or tear as you ride the horse or if you fall. Out west, brushing up against a prickly plant is no longer a problem if you are wearing cowboy chaps.

However durable a material it is, leather is not a very flexible material. And any horse rider needs full range of his legs to get atop his horse. For this reason, cowboy chaps only cover each leg, attaching at the waist. This gives the inner thigh and gluteal regions free range of movement for getting on and off a horse and sitting comfortably while riding.

Despite their pop culture reputation as silly and useless, cowboy chaps are anything but. Their material and design are optimal for the cowboy riding long distances and quickly mounting and dismounting his horse.
