Great quality, supple full grain leather that is comfortable and beautifully styled. Gaiters are made from a smooth leather and are stronger and smarter than chaps.They are compulsory for use in graded shows and are worn over short jodhpur boots in the place of long boots. Horse Tech gaiters are lined with leather for minimal sweat and extra rider comfort. Made with strong English elastic and YKK zips. The zip does up from the bottom to the top, so it will not rub your horse's side when using your leg aids or unzip. Can be used for every day riding as well.
