Best Jodhpurs/Riding Tights for shorta***s

[Hazkirbo]

I currently live in the Shires Wessex children jods (which are still slightly too long in length!) as they're the only jodhpurs that fit me nicely, although they end up trashed in a few months. I'm looking for something that'll last a bit longer and still fit me well which I just cannot find!

I'm 5'2 and a size 10/12, but also I'm quite curvy so not petite (large belly, short legs). This seems to be massive problem as I just cannot find anything that fits me well. If it fits me at the waist, it doesn't fit my leg length and visa versa.

Any suggestions for something that would fit me well would be much appreciated. Must be high-waisted and somewhat reasonably priced (wouldn't really pay more than £50 for everyday jods); although I don't mind spending more if they're going to last well.

I am 5.1 and find some of the below makes good
Kerrits riding tights
Performance equestrian riding tights
Noble outfitters

I love Rugged, although they are slightly above your budget (about £67). They last really well and fit me well too. I'm 5ft with short legs. I have one pair I have to fold up at the ankle, but the others are fine.

I like the outfitters tights (breeches I think) as they are short so fit my leg (think they are supposed to be above ankle!).

Ariat Olympia... they even have a panel in them to flatten your tummy and they come in different lengths

So I'm the opposite and very tall. I bought a pair of the dublin cool it tights (they do warm it ones as well) and they are too short for me. The sticky bit only doesn't even reach my knee! They might work for you! They are nice and stretchy and super comfy.

I'm similar height to you, I buy breeches which tend to come right down to my foot (basically fit like jodhs on a normal person). Means I don't have a huge chunk rolled up at least

I’m 5’2” and short in the leg. I buy Ariat Olympia breeches which are a perfect fit. I also have a pair of Accademia Italiana riding tights for the summer. They are quite expensive but lovely.

Thanks all!! Got plenty to add to my xmas list now

Decathlon children's ... cheaper too!

Ariat Olympia

I buy whatever's cheap, then lop the bottom off and re-hem them!

Ariat Olympias and HV Polo seem to be a good length on me at 5ft 3!

Haha good to see fellow breech wearers using them as full length, which is what I do!

ETA are the ariat Olympia low rise/below the waist, or on the waist?

At the waist they definitely cover my ‘mummy pouch’ nicely
