Chaps are a type of leather garment that cover the legs from the waist to the ankle, commonly worn by cowboys and other horseback riders as protective clothing. They typically consist of two separate pieces, one for each leg, which are fastened at the waist and around the thigh with buckles or laces. Chaps are designed to protect the legs from brush, thorns, and other hazards encountered while riding through rough terrain, as well as to provide grip and stability in the saddle. They may be adorned with decorative fringe or conchos, and come in a variety of styles and colors to suit different tastes and needs.
