Rough Weather Chaps

This product was created after experiencing the challenge of keeping dry and warm for most of the year while tending my horses and trail riding in Western Washington. Now that I am living in Idaho, snow, very cold temperatures and wind are not a problem. These chaps are warm and block 98% of the wind when I am out feeding, clearing snow and riding in rough weather. They are comfortable to wear and easy to put on. I am so sure that you will love these chaps that if you are not completely satisfied you can return them for 30 days for a full refund. Please visit www.flyingmonkeyranch.net
