Comfortable and airy
Riding leggings - comfort and function in one
Leggings are becoming increasingly popular with riders as they offer a comfortable and flexible alternative to classic breeches.
They are particularly lightweight, elasticated and breathable and offer all the important functions you need for your daily training or riding out. At Lepona.de you will find a large selection of high-quality riding leggings that perfectly match your riding style.
What are riding leggings?
Leggings for riders generally do not have zips, buttons or belt loops. The fit therefore plays a particularly important role, as the trousers must not slip.
This modern version of riding breeches is not only sporty and stylish, but often also has a practical mobile phone pocket on the thigh. In terms of functionality, they are made of moisture-wicking and breathable material that offers optimum comfort, especially during intensive training sessions.
The trim is often made of silicone, which ensures a good grip in the saddle. The elasticated leg cuffs without Velcro fasteners fit snugly around the leg so that they do not pinch in the boot. These leggings are significantly more elasticated than classic breeches and are comparable to yoga trousers.
