Riding Tights, Leggings & Skins

Riding tights, leggings, and skins have become a trend, especially among female riders. They are made of modern, stretchy, and breathable fabrics that make them versatile, comfortable, durable, and also a cheaper alternative to wearing breeches every day.  They often include pockets, and some models feature knee and/or saddle gel patches for enhanced grip, durability, and comfort.

They are generally cheaper than riding breeches but more sophisticated and stylish than Jodhpurs, which makes them ideal for daily use; however, some brands make excellent showing horse riding tights. Also, most of these products work perfectly for other activities, from going to the gym to using them as street sportswear, making them an attractive, cost-effective choice. Besides, riding leggings and tights come in many appealing colours, and most models feature generous pockets strategically located for holding your mobile phone, which has become an indispensable feature these days.

Stay tuned to discover more advantages of these wonderful riding garments. If you've never tried on a pair or haven’t noticed this apparel before, you'll probably fall in love with them too.

Horse Riding Tights

Riding tights are made of lightweight and stretchy fabrics, usually 4-way stretch, which opens a world of endless possibilities. Most horse riding tights can match a high-quality pair of horse riding breeches for a fraction of the cost. You will find models with gel knee and/or full seat patches, light, cool, and moisture-wicking properties for the summer or intense training, and thicker, warmer, and breathable models for the winter. Some models are more robust, with reinforced seams, made to endure many hours of abuse and hard work in the saddle, and an extra touch or refinement, while others are simpler, with a seamless design.

Horse riding tights are snugger than standard riding pants for extra support, encouraging blood circulation, and for a perfect fit that contours and enhances the legs. It’s a comfortable pressure that embraces your body and makes you feel like they weren’t there. Most riders describe them as a second skin because they are thin, flexible, and easy to wear.

Many riding tights feature mobile phone pockets, and some models are zipless and buttonless and bring an elastic waistband so that you can just pull them on as a pair of regular gym thighs. However, some models feature zips and belt loops, and there are even some more formal models that you can use in the competition arena.

Horse Riding Leggings

Horse riding leggings are usually made of thinner and more flexible fabrics than riding tights. They feature an elastic high-waist design, zipless and buttonless, made to slip them over like a pair of joggers. They are also great for other sports and social activities as they look and feel like a pair of gym leggings.

Riding leggings are also known as horse riding skins because of their tight fit and comfort. However, it’s important to notice that some manufacturers tag some of these products as riding tights, so we advise you to check the product’s features to avoid confusion.
