Chaps for Your Poncho
By Rocky Thompson on May 16th, 2007
The Exped Chaps are part Old West revivalist, part wet crotch, part snow wader. They don’t make any sense for paddling a canoe in the rain or backpacking with a normal rain jacket, but they would work well with a poncho or riding a bike in light rain. The Exped website says they work well for building igloos, but so would waders and I don’t think I’d wear those winter camping. They weigh six ounces and pack into pockets on the knees.  Â
