Fouganza innovation: half chap socks!

It's been a while since I had not talked to you about Fouganza, Décathlon's riding brand!

This article will make you forget about my mistake as it is targeted on their new innovation: the half chap socks!

The concept: the sock is reinforced at the level of the calf level so that you can ride without half chaps, without hurting your legs.

But why would you ever want to ride without half chaps?

Well, for many reasons! Some people just like riding without them. Also when the weather is really hot, it can be annoying to put your half chaps in leather on as you will get really warm. You can also put the socks in your locker for the day when you will forget your half chaps (don't tell me it never happened to you, I would not believe you).

It can also be useful when you start this wonderful sport that is horse-riding and that you do not know if you are going to enjoy the activity or not. Then, investing in a pair of half chaps can be risky if you realize on your second lesson that being flung to the ground horse-riding is not your sport. Then, the half chap socks can be great for you!

For the time being, only two sizes are available: from size EU 35 to 38 (UK 2.5 to 5) and from EU 39 to 42 (UK 5.5 to 8).

The socks can be washed in the washing machine and they are available on Décathlon's website (UK: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/black-half-chap-socks-id_8279196.html). They cost 17.95€, £14,99.
