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.

Comparison: leggings vs. classic breeches

Riding leggings

  • Material: Thin and elasticated, fits snugly.
  • Fasteners: None, easy to put on and take off.
  • Season: Particularly comfortable in summer thanks to breathable fabrics.
  • Freedom of movement: They offer maximum comfort thanks to their elasticity.

Riding breeches

  • Material: Robust, often thicker fabric such as cotton-elastane blends.
  • Fastenings: With buttons, zips and belt loops.
  • Season: Ideal for cooler days thanks to the thicker fabrics.
  • Hold: Classic styles offer a good hold in the saddle thanks to the snug fit and trimming.

Both variants have their advantages. While leggings offer maximum comfort for everyday wear and training, traditional breeches are often the first choice for competitions or in cold weather.

Thanks to their elasticated materials, riding leggings fit the body like a second skin and allow full freedom of movement. They often have a special grip trim that provides additional support. They offer optimum comfort, especially on hot days or longer rides.

Female riders in particular like to wear leggings, as they also provide more freedom of movement when working in the stable and are simply much more comfortable.
