Equinox. you can also buy them at hikelight.com (http://www.hikelight.com/equinox-ultralite-full-moon-chaps.html).
Also, Sierra Designs is coming out with some, should be this spring.
Zpacks used to offer cuben rain chaps made from the same material as their cuben poncho/groundsheet. They might still make up a pair if someone asked.
Like the previous post said. Joe will make you a pair, he did for me. They were no longer for sale on the web page when I asked.
Oware makes them too.
I swear I have seen them on the Oware site, but cannot find them any longer.
I have a pair of zPacks chaps. To fiddly and hot — more the concept than the product. But his rain skirt is awesome, plus you can find many other uses for it.
Equinox makes 'em in silnylon

I wonder if Ron or Joe would make a shorter pair like we use horseback (we call them "chinks")- would breathe better, would keep a lot of crud off them (vs ankle length) and less likely to tangle in the underbrush
Thanks all. The comment about being clammy gave me pause, however. Maybe a rain skirt is the way to go…..?
Fjällräven makes chaps. They are listed as breathable.
