  • Courses hippiques et sports équestres
CONT

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.

OBS

Dans ce dernier contexte, il aurait fallu dire «glissières» car «fermeture éclair» est une marque déposée.
