Why I wear my chaps

[MacAttack]

Chaps are measured by the length from the waist down. They should cover your boots by a minimum of 2". Call your suppliers and ask for the length measurement.

Thank you!

I have to work in shorts except in the winter. I have noticed that chaps keep sawdust out of my boots, keep bugs off the front of my legs, and prevent weeds from cutting me up.

I reckon you owe it to yourself to give proper trousers a try. As mentioned before, there may be sticker shock involved, but they're a world of difference to chaps or "cheap" trousers.

I've never worn snow pants, but the trousers I have are just like wearing thicker work pants. Not too heavy, not too bulky and allow me to happily traipse through the bush over all sorts of terrain no worries. Don't do climbing but I can't imagine they'd restrict your movement.
