Chaps (/ˈʃæps/ or /ˈtʃæps/) are sturdy coverings for the legs consisting of leggings and a belt. They are buckled on over trousers with the chaps' integrated belt, but unlike trousers they have no seat and are not joined at the crotch. They are designed to provide protection for the legs and are usually made of leather or a leather-like material. They are most commonly associated with the cowboy culture of the American west as a protective garment to be used when riding a horse through brushy terrain. In the modern world, they are worn for both practical work purposes and for exhibition or show use.
The earliest form of protective leather garment used by mounted riders who herded cattle in Spain and Mexico were called armas, which meant "shields." They were essentially two large pieces of cowhide that were used as a protective apron of sorts. They attached to the horn of the rider's stock saddle, and were spread across both the horse's chest and the rider's legs. From this early and rather cumbersome design came modifications that placed the garment entirely on the rider, and then style variations adapted as vaqueros, and later cowboys, moved up from Mexico into the Pacific coast and northern Rockies of what today is the United States and Canada. There is also evidence that certain design features may also descend from the mountain men, who copied them from the leggings worn by Native Americans. Different styles developed to fit the local climate, terrain and hazards. Designs were also modified for purely stylistic and decorative purposes. The time of actual appearance of the garment on American cowboys is uncertain. By the late 1870s, however, most Texas cowboys wore them as the cattle industry moved north. By 1884, the Dictionary of American Regional English notes use of the word in Wyoming, spelled "schaps."

http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/ - Here I show a pair of chaps and chinks and explain the difference and advantages to each. Basically longer full length chaps are called chaps, shorter half length chaps are called chinks. Chinks are more of a working chaps, they are cooler, not as heavy but give some protection to knees, legs and grip in the saddle. Chaps are longer, heavier, give more protection to lower leg and tend to be warmer, better in winter, not so good in hot summer. Thanks to Candace for coming and filming. Wearing leather when you ride give you a better seat and more grip in the saddle. The fringe does many things like shake flies and bug off, protects from wing and cold, protects from sun, makes you look bigger and more threatening if you have to back off another animal or a...

How much protection do bunker pants provide against a chainsaw? Chainsaw training video by Warren Twp VFD, Marietta, Ohio.
This video describes how to properly fit a pair of leather chaps. Our dedicated employees Luke and Ralphie take you step by step, going through our simple three step process. First make sure the belt is wrapped around just below the waisline to assure comfort while sitting on your bike. Second zip and button the chaps making sure they fit snug in the thigh, which is the most important step, but not to tight they should feel comfortable. The final step is cutting your chaps with a pair of scissors about 1/2 inch past where the chaps first contact the ground. Please watch our 2 min video for detailed instructions!
Law Abiding Biker Podcast & Media Production: http://www.lawabidingbiker.com VIDEO & BLOG-In this video I teach you step-by-step how to properly fold and roll your leather motorcycle biker chaps into a tight and neat "chap pack".

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Somethings out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's a red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
And opens up one eager eye
Focusing it in the sky
99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street, where 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waiting for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
99 red balloons go by
99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero
Everyone's a captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red ballons go by
99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have had
In everyone a red ballon
Now it's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here...
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
