Tredstep Chaps

I said i'd do a review of them so here we are!

I bought them in September of last year for around £40 second hand but they were as good as new. I think they are the Galway/ Pro G2 version and i got them in 15" Calf and 17" height. I was told by a Robinsons fitter that i should go for the 14" calf and 18" height but i didn't want to risk them being too small and/or jabbing me in the back of the knee!

As for the chaps themselves... i would put them mid range despite the RRP of £100. This is because i find the zip too hard to do up and i half expected it to fall apart. The leather seems too thick and this makes them stiff and at times uncomfortable and despite me buying an inch smaller than i measure at they still get me in the back of the knee sometimes!

They are still lovely looking on and after months of breaking in they're not too bad and after stretching them a bit seems to help with the zipping up and closing the popper.

Anyway, i still would recommend them and maybe I'm having a a few issues because they don't fit me right, I'm not sure!
