No, half chaps just cover the calf, to protect from pinching from the stirrup leathers. Totally different from chinks. I don't know the proper pronunciation, but I call them chaps like chapstick.

Different parts of the country pronounce it differently. Like Mecate is MCarty depending on where you come from.

They typically have long fringe on them to ward off flies too. (you all probably knew all that already huh?). In Wyoming if someone pronounces chaps with the CH (like chapstick) we assume its a tourist.
I had no idea. Fascinating.
