Riding breeches

If you have a desire to go horseback riding or just ride a couple of times, you must always think about the right equipment. First of all, it is worth paying attention to the breeches, since the lower part of the clothing is designed to protect the rider from rubbing and slipping. This is achieved through special anti-slip inserts, which quench sliding and allow you to sit tight in the saddle.

How to choose riding breeches?

These breeches differ from ordinary jeans or trousers in that they have no seams. This avoids rubbing the skin while riding or bruising. When choosing your option, pay attention to the following points:

  1. Material . The most comfortable and comfortable for riding are the breeches from lei or, as it is also called, "artificial suede". This fabric provides the best grip on the seat surface. The main material can be mixed with other, like cotton, corduroy, viscose.
  2. Weather conditions under which you are going to be engaged. If this is the summer time of the year, then it is worth choosing non-binding movements and light breeches creating the effect of a "second skin". If you are going to skate in the winter, then you need to make sure that your riding breeches are equipped with thermal materials.
  3. Intensity of training . For those who are just beginning to learn the basics of riding, one must understand that with intensive training clothes can quickly fail. Therefore, when buying, look at the composition of the fabric. It should be 5-10% elastic, so that the knees do not stretch after a couple of runs.

The rest of the choice is a matter of taste. As for color, the most interesting and popular are beige, dark blue and white breeches. Leather inserts are just an element of decor and convenience.
