Shotgun chaps offer the rider a better grip on the saddle through leather to leather contact, and they protect his legs in brushy terrain. Made of slit cowhide, they cover the rider's legs and belt around the hips, the side zipper on each leg often being covered with fringe. 1, record 1, English, - shotgun%20chaps

Les chaps (chapareijos) sont des jambières de cuir qui procurent une meilleure adhérence, protègent les jambes des rugosités de la selle et aussi du froid et des intempéries. Il y en a deux styles : l'un ferme les jambières avec des agrafes; l'autre, qui est plus populaire, les ferme avec des fermeture-éclair. 2, record 1, French, - chaps%20%C3%A0%20glissi%C3%A8res
