We know riders want choice. That’s why our full seat leggings give added security, our non-seat designs are versatile for yard, gym or leisure. Our thermal leggings keep you warm on winter hacks. Every pair is tested, reviewed and loved by riders just like you.
FAQs
What makes riding leggings different from regular leggings?
Riding leggings feature silicone grip panels for saddle stability, reinforced seams for durability and technical stretch fabrics. They include deeper pockets, higher waistbands and moisture-wicking materials designed for active riding. Regular leggings lack grip, reinforcement and the specific features riders need in the saddle and around the yard.
Can I wear riding leggings for competition, or are they just for schooling?
Riding leggings are perfect for schooling, training and hacking. They're accepted at many unaffiliated competitions and lower-level shows. Affiliated competitions under British Dressage, British Eventing, or British Showjumping typically require traditional breeches. Always check your specific event's dress code beforehand.
How should I care for my riding leggings to make them last?
Wash riding leggings inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Skip fabric softener as it damages technical fabrics and grip. Air dry only and never tumble dry or iron. With proper care, our riding leggings maintain their performance through 100+ washes. Rotating between pairs extends their lifespan significantly.
