ariat chaps - whats the difference?

[those-ears]

Looking at buying some ariat chaps to go with my boots but there are so many to choose from!!
I like the ones with the suede inner panal. They are for everyday riding and need them to polish up well for shows
What is the difference between the oxford, close contact and the classic?!

The oxford is unlined and has a zip up the outside,
the classic is lined, has a zip up the outside and has a section of elastic for the boot,
teh close contact is lined and fairly stiff and has a zip up the back - of the ones you listed it is the one that would look most like a long boot.

Just to through a spanner in the works - how about the concord? It is unlined and soft, zips up the back and would look like a long boot.

I have the close contact and they are fab! Highly recommend : )

Another vote for Concord.....Love mine!

Another vote for close contact, very smart and look like a long boot which is a bonus i would say these are the best if your looking for chaps to use at shows aswell.

Definitely recommend the Concord ones. I love mine, wear them all the time and have another pair for shows/hunting. They are comfortable and very smart.
