Questions about Rattler Scaletech Snake Protection Chaps
Q:
are these chaps full lenth,from groin to ankle?
Answer: They are full lenght but only have snake protection to the knee
Q:
Can you give a more accurate size (length for long/regular/short) for these chaps? Also explain the difference between "husky" and regular.
Answer: Sorry dont have an answer. I am 6'7" and ordered the long/ husky. covers from the knee down, but later found out needed the above the knee protection would have been nice to have. some larger rattle snakes bite up and higher. Found snake thongs at http: //www.bigappleherp.com/Professional-Series-Tongs
Answer: I would purchase a different brand, they are bulky and cheap.
Q:
How do you determine which size you need?
Answer: I chose my size based on other customers comments. I purchased size regular/regular. I am 5' 5", 117 lbs female. The length is perfect and I can fit layers underneath should I need it for hunting.
Answer: I am 6'2" 218 lbs. I wore my extra large chaps over levi's. There are zippers from the base of the chaps that open that area for someone wearing boots. The top has fasteners that fit over a belt or belt loop. I would say that if you are slight of build, particularly in the legs, a large may do just fine. I would err on the side of being bigger rather than smaller.
Q:
How much do the husky regular weigh? Are thee bulky?
Product reviews of Rattler Scaletech Snake Protection Chaps
m. christ : not bad for the price
I found the lower part of the chaps unnecessarily wide but maybe this is because I wore them over snake boots to begin with. The panel design is unique and effective. Upper material is extremely thin but does provide a waterproof cover when walking in high grass & ferns. Not a bad purchase for the price. Economical protection.
Jaime Patterson : Four Stars
These had to be altered at thigh.
Amazon Customer : Protection
Protection only from knee down
Nated14 : check the size
Seem pretty sturdy but the sizing is off. I am 5'10 165lbs and the regular/large fit length wise but the thigh area is too tight to wear with pants beneath.
Dennis : Excellent
Work and wear excellent on my Texas hog hunt
Nadeene : Two Stars
They where wore 1 weekend and started to wear at the seams. The next weekend the snaps broke.
Ian : okay
Not bad. I got the big/husky size and they are wide in the calf but not very husky in the thigh area. And there is no strap to tighten the calf area around your legs, which is vital to walk quietly when hunting. I used bungie cords to fix them tightely to my calf. And the upper thigh part is very hot, I ended up cutting them off just to be comfortable. However, for the price, not a bad product
BJ swafford : Four Stars
Pants shorter than expected. We have many snakes so I will let you know later
Bob Howells : Not as hot as all the people are talking about ...
Not as hot as all the people are talking about. I clear brush outside of San Antonio where it is regularly over 100 degrees and they are not exceptionally hot. They do not breath but they do appear very durable.
The size is very slender for what is written. Get one size larger than you need.
connie lepley : Not looking forward to the "ultimate test"!
Pretty much as advertised, should do the job nicely.
David Tashlin : GREAT PRODUCT
Great. It is only bite proof from knees down but above that is brush resist. If u have slightly thick thighs. Get the husky. Great price and great product. Yes they get a little warm but it keeps you from getting a live threatening snake bite so to who ever put a bad review because you got to hot. Suck it up and be happy your protected.
caver47526 : A bit hot and noisy
They seem to be a quality product though they are so boxy. I also had heat problems while wearing them as well as having to yell over them while walking through the woods. I have no doubt they will do what they are suppose to but I am buying gaiters and saving these for only the most extreme snake conditions.
Dennis : Excellent

RR of WV : As can be expected they are stiff. The legs ...
As can be expected they are stiff. The legs are tight so downgraded one star. As of now I cannot say if they will work against snakes.
K Sad : Poor design and sizing
Purchased these for a hunt in Argentina for my husband and son. Quality was poor. Materials made moving in them very loud... Which defeats the purpose in a "stalk" style hunt versus hunting from a blind.
Also the sizes are totally off ... Small was too loose for my 14 year old son but a couple of inches too short.
And the large was way too tight for my husband and again inches too short. Returned the large for a husky and they fit a little better but still inches too short.
My husband has an athletic build. Typically wears a 35 x 36 wrangler retro jeans with boots or a 35x34 in lucky brand jeans if he's wearing sperrys or driving shoes.
My son typically wears a 30x32 in jeans or slacks.
Frank : Three Stars
fit well but very hot
Ray Ray Travels : Not usable
WAY too big at the lower leg. Feels like wearing a garbage bag. Very stiff lower portion.
Lomé : Excelente protección
buena calidad lo utilizo para ir de casa y protegerme de una mordedura de serpiente
J.W. : Wise investment
Darned good to have if you're doing any wandering around in the desert!
Brenda H : They work great. Even the husky size is a bit too ...
They work great. Even the husky size is a bit too tight in the thigh area for my husband. That part is just too tight for comfortable wearing and working. Would like to see them made a bit bigger in the thigh/groin area.
Timothy Bowen : One Star
they r thick I don't believe you have to worry about getting bit but they r to stiff
Deal Seeker : If all you are worried about is snakes these are 5 stars
I bought these more for walking through the woods and protection from briars for my granddaughter. Well the bottom part provides protection from that although they look very odd as i was expecting just a heavier material on the bottom and it looks more like pads all the way around. Above the knee is not particularly thick so briars go through it easily. Perhaps the 3 is not far as I was more interested in the chaps application and not the snake portion although I thought it would give added protection to my granddaughter so figured that was a good thing.
Amazon Customer : Not for people with thighs.
I don’t think a snake could get through these things. They are super tough. Only issue is if you have thighs look for a different brand these are tight above the knees.
Michael Huffer : Nice to have when hunting or fishing in heavy cover
These things work very well.Nice to have when hunting or fishing in heavy cover.We have lots of rattlers and copperheads and these chaps are tough.
A.J : Not please!
The fit was off, husky/long was indeed way too husky and the snake protection was way below the knees. The length was fine, lower protection was fine, I'm 6 ft and the upper protection was too far below the knees.
lambert : Four Stars
Purchased these chaps for my husband to use on our mini farm for weed eating, cutting wood and hunting.

Marcus butcher : One Star
There good in cutting tall grass but around the thigh for me would have to be about 4" bigger
Deb : happy
works
Phil : Four Stars
Fit and polish is very good. Was hoping for more water resistance.
Big Ridge : Makes sure you get the right size
Fits like a Kilt. I’m 6’7” and this is way to big for me ...

Paul Mccutcheon : Looking For Snakes?
Took a little longer to get the chaps than I expected but recieved them in great condition. Product packing was good. I got these for my wife to wear when we ar at deer camp. They fit well but a little on the heavy side. Of course that doesn't matter when you run across a big Copperhead or Rattler! I really like the overlapping plates!!!
Amazon Customer : ok. One buckle strap was not sewn correctly and ...
ok. One buckle strap was not sewn correctly and failed. I could not return because Amazon said it was past 60 days.
One must check product when received to make sure it is not faulty.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
as advertised
Daniel : Two Stars
These chaps seem to be very snake proof. But they are a little bulky in the woods.
Lori T : Five Stars
Just as we expected and bought several pairs for family and friends!
