What should you consider when choosing riding breeches?

When purchasing trousers for horse racing, it is worth paying attention to several important aspects:

  • Adjusting the size and cut - pants should fit well to the body, but not too tight so as to restrict movement.
  • Seat type - full seat provides greater grip on the saddle, while the knee seat provides greater freedom of movement.
  • Seat material - seat cushions can be made of silicone , an additional layer of fabric or leather.
  • Practical pockets - it is worth paying attention to the presence of pockets that may be useful during training.
  • Elastic leg finishing - this is an advantage that makes it easier to put on riding trousers and ensures a better fit of the breeches under riding boots .
