hacked away at my large (too big for me) dri-ducks pants to make rain chaps.
i always hated putting these things on, even with the zippers at the cuffs. i'd always get them muddy on the inside and they'd make me too hot where i'd never get wet due to my rain jacket or poncho.
turns out there are pocket openings at the top with a snap at the middle. my plan was to use those to snap them to my belt (extra shoe lace). i also cut off the elastic at the cuff because i hate it.
the zipper at the cuff is a bit heavy so i replaced it with two plastic snaps.
i also realized the metal snap on the pocket is a bit heavy so i just chopped it off and put a plastic snap below where it was.
was 6.5 oz or so. now… 2.8oz for the pair!
