What color pants to choose (black, green, burgundy, royal blue, beige, red, white, brown...)

The ideal choice of the color of riding pants is personal to each rider. However, we recommend that you choose light colors, which will not retain the heat of the sun's rays in summer (pearl gray, beige, light blue, ...). For winter, you can choose a dark color pants that will get dirty less easily (black, navy, chocolate, burgundy, ...).

Choosing the color of your pants is also a matter of taste. If you have a classic style, you will probably turn to sober colors such as black or navy.

Is it mandatory to wear white pants in competition?

It is traditional for riders to wear white pants in competition. For dressage, white competition pants are mandatory. For other disciplines, the rule has been relaxed over time.

In show jumping, it is possible to wear very light and sober colored pants: white, beige and pearl gray. Many riders have started the trend of wearing light colored pants to contrast with the color of their polo shirt.

What type of riding breeches to choose according to the season?

Lightweight pants for summer?

For the summer period, we prefer light fabrics. Many brands such as Cavalleria Toscana or Ego 7 offer pleasant and very light materials despite the heat.

You can also opt for riding leggings, which will lend itself perfectly to the season thanks to its thin fabric and comfortable fit.

As mentioned earlier, it is important to choose light colors in summer to reflect the sun's rays.

Warm, waterproof and water repellent pants for winter?

In cold weather, there's nothing like a pair of thermal pants for women. Generally speaking, thermal pants are made of softshell material that retains heat. Their elastic material offers a great freedom of movement necessary for horseback riding.

Several brands offer thermal pants for women, we invite you to discover them on our online store.

Which style of pants to choose? (Jodhpur, jeans, high waist, skin bottom, silicone grip, with cell phone pocket, leggings...)

Dressage pants

The wardrobe of a dressage rider is, indeed, somewhat different from that of a show jumping rider. Trainers have high-waisted, full-bottom pants.

The full-bottom is preferable to the basanes found on classic riding pants. The full-bottom offers a better grip and contact with the saddle, and thus, a better fixity to the rider. There are two schools of thought when choosing a full-bottom. The one that prefers the integral bottom in skin, a material similar to suede. The other is the one that prefers the full bottom made of silicone, also called grip.

In addition to the full bottom, dressage riders like their pants to have a high waist. A high waist provides good back support and is also more comfortable.

Leggings

Women's riding leggings are very trendy right now. Whether it's for beginners or advanced riders, everyone finds their advantage and wants to add one to their wardrobe.

Indeed, the leggings are more comfortable than a classic riding pant. Its elastic fabric, sometimes in softshell material, is known to offer a great freedom of movement. This is very pleasant when practicing equestrian sports.

There are very classic models with simple grips, but also more elaborate models for different disciplines.

For example, there are models with a high waist and a full bottom for dressage. The integral bottom on the leggings is essentially in grip.

The Jodhpur

The riding pants for women called jodhpur was a model widely worn until the 2000s. It is now considered by many as out of fashion, but continues to make the happiness of beginners and some nostalgic riders.

With its basanes or its full bottom, the jodhpur riding pants for women is the very idea that we can have of a riding pant.

The decline of the classic jodhpur riding pant was caused by its cut. Indeed, on a jodhpur model, the bottom of the pants is quite thick. This makes them uncomfortable inside riding boots or booties.

Warm pants

The thermal pants for women are part of the basic equipment for women riders to face the winter. With its sofshell material, the thermal pants for women will keep your legs warm in cold weather. For trainers, there are even high-waisted versions with full bottoms.

Among our wide range of riding pants with baselayer, this is by far the most suitable for the winter season. They can be somewhat expensive, due to the specificity of their material. You can then opt for a technique approved by beginners and professional riders: the tights.
