"I have had these chaps for about 6 monthes, and these chaps are just not holding up. I ride very often, and these chaps show it! The stretch panel began to become stretched out and baggy. The snaps keep getting stuck, and I need TWO people to get them undone. The inside of the chap is also becoming worn down and not grippy anymore:( I love other Tredstep products, but these chaps just don't last."

"So comfortable I kind of want to wear them all the time! The suede is grippy in the saddle and wonderfully supportive while still being supple and flexible. I'm already hooked and having a hard time imagining riding in anything else.
I haven't had them long, but they are well-made and about as sturdy as I can imagine they could be without getting impractical. Very heavy-duty elastic, zipper, and stitching.
I measured well and ordered these in 14/17, but was still prepared to have to exchange if they weren't quite right. However, they fit perfectly. Ideal length. They're snug but with enough room to wear thicker breeches or possibly more than one layer in the winter. They don't slide down, twist, or shift, either while walking or riding.
I have not had the slightest trouble with the snaps as many other reviewers have. They're secure, but not difficult to fasten or unfasten at all. I'm wondering if this is a quality control issue in which certain batches have tough snaps and others don't."

"I have a larger calf and these are perfect. The snap can be hard to close, but the trick is snap them on at an angle. Usually works"

"I've been wearing these chaps for about two months, I love the fit and the feel of them. The only thing I have issues with are the snaps, they are a pain to unsnap (the bottoms) and ususally require a bit more time to unsnap then I would like. Overall, they are pretty good"

"These are my first pair of Tredstep chaps, and I am very impressed. True to size (from the size chart) and have slight room to wear another pair of thick socks because of the winter weather. Love the look and are easy to put on/snap.
I wear Ariat boots, and these look great over them. Will probably buy another pair in brown! Don't know much about durability since I just recieved, but seem great

"These are quality suede half chaps. Great fit, very durable & they have better grip than leather. This is my third pair ( I got one size larger for winter breeches) & the snaps are better than my old Tredsteps. Highly recommend!"

"I measured for these with a pair of TIGHTS on, not my thicker breeches that I normally wear. This makes putting them require a little more effort, but even so they are not uncomfortable. My only vice with them is that the buttons are hard to snap; this isn't because of the slightly incorrect size, because this happends with all four buttons."

"I bought these to replace a pair of Dublin half-chaps that never fit right. I am short (petite) but with athletic legs. So nothing height wise ever fit to match my calves. So after the rave reviews and knowing how awesome SP return policy was I went for it. I measured 14.5 in my calf so I decided to go up per others reviews. I bought the 15/15 based on how they said to measure. I could not believe how nice they were for the price nice suede that is thick and the zippers are nice and large. I got these on in record time. The bottom snaps are super hard to close but the tops for me were very easy. I am ok with this as I figure they will hold up to tough riding. The fit is great and comfortable they hug my legs in all breeches (gersemi and pikeurs). Also nice is they are made in Ireland not china like so much of my tack. I am looking fwd to buying another pair for schooling shows when I just don't want to deal with my stove pipe boots."

"I have tried alot of Half Chaps, and with a long fairly slim calf, I have had trouble finding the right fit. Most would be a bit big, too short and slide down my leg. I had always heard good things about Tred Step, and decided to give them a try. Comparable in price to other brands, I went with a suede model because I like them better for an everyday chap, because I think they hold up better and are easier to clean. I could not have been more pleased, I measured my leg and ordered the exact measurements and the chap fits perfectly. They stick, do not slide down the leg, nice close feel, elastic is great and did not stretch too much. I will never buy another pair of half chaps again. They look great and are super comfy if you tend to be in chaps most of the day. Highly recommended."

"I've been riding in these half chaps for 4 years now. I am just to the point where i need to replace them. I wear them to ride in, and then often leave them on for when I bathe my horses. Great the ride in, super comfortable, purchasing my second pair 4 years later! Nothing in the horse world lasts 4 years!"

"Bought these after buying smooth leather Tredstep chaps but sent those back as they were too small. I decided to go back to suede chaps and I really like these. They look nice and fit well. Can't comment on durability as I've only been wearing them for about a month."

"I got these half chaps a little over 2 years ago. They have collected some dirt, but overall they look brand-new. Alot of people at my barn have gotten a pair after asking me about them. The quality of these half chaps is very good considering the price. But I have found that over the years, the leather lineing at the bottom has gotten torn up(a little of it came off).Thats okay because it's not very noticeable. I love these and hopefully I'll be getting another pair when I grow out."

"Bought these chaps for my daughter to replace a pair of Ariats that fell apart at an early age. I had read some good reviews for Tredstep, so decided to give them a try. The suede is soft and form-fitting. It is not bulky. They fit well and don't wrinkle. She loves them. Said they are the most comfortable she has ever had. She rides at least 2 horses per day, so she is in them for several hours per day. She has not worn them long enough to talk about durability yet...."

"If you like suede half chaps, these are well worth trying. I use mine almost everyday and have even hosed then clean and left them to air dry. The only "complaint" I have is the snap is difficult to open, so I yank hard each time and the stitching is still perfect."
