How many of you wear chaps when running your lines?
What features do you like/dislike about them?

I am thinking about buying or making a set, and want input from the masses.

And Savell, us Yank's are smart enough to wear pants under em, so you just shush up.

Kyle you should make em outta buckskin!

I have used the chaps from Dan's Hunting Gear for several years now and absolutely love them. Extremely durable. I wouldn't trap dryland again without them.

I bought a pair of the Gamehide heavy duty chaps last year. I’ve got no complaints. Full zip sides are nice, they're very durable and fairly cheap for chaps.

I don't much wear them for the line

but I have a set of Dans Brush Busters I wear for bird hunting and even deer hunting if I am walking through a bunch of brush.

this is really just because I have become a lazy trapping farms , rubber boots and hardly have to walk 100 feet from the truck usually not more than 30

Dans advice was you want them the right length even if that seems short measure actual inseam with your pants on how they hang normal I think mine measured out at 28 even though I would normally wear a 32 inseam pants

then go a size larger in the diameter so they have a little breathing room.

I have worn Filson's tin chaps for years when hunting in brush. They are great, but I don't care for the half zipper, my boots barely fit through them. I don't like having to take my boots off to take my chaps off.

I was looking for something with built in knee pads also. The ground isn't getting any softer as I get older.

I couldn’t find a pair of JC Connor’s so bought a pair of Dan’s on recommendation from here. I really liked them when kneeling on wet ground or snow. Not sure they replaced a tarp/kneeling pad for scent control but I feel they help.

I just use a cheap pair of knee pads like floor guys wear

I just use my chainsaw chaps if needed. And a cheap square boat cushion to kneel on

Chaps are for working cattle in mesquite or piñon or something

My JC Connor ones. Can't get em now unless you find some one willing to part with em.

We use Dan's chaps, and love them. I wouldn't be without them now. Best money I ever spent!

I got a pair of Wickes a long time ago for running Beagles, and will wear them when cutting firewood, or on the trapline where I'm, gonna hit briers/blackberry's etc.

I don't like them for trapping, gotta wear chaps at work.
Hot metal silver chaps now that's at must.

Speaking of chaps
I've a pair of Shaf by Milwaukee leather chaps I'd like to sell. Problem is they are 4X. New. Even got the tags.
Anyone interested? Please PM me.
