Leather chaps are a piece of leather armour worn on the legs, most commonly by low-level rangers as they have no level requirements to wear. Players can make this item through the Craftingskill at level 18 from a piece of soft leather, granting 27 Crafting experience.
At level 44 Crafting, steel studs can be added to the chaps to make studded chaps, giving 42 Crafting experience.
Originally, these chaps did not cover the inner leg area, and the colour shown was that of the player's default clothes. This was changed when they received a graphical update on 31 January2012.
