I've decided I fancy a pair of riding tights, so far have seen Horze and Noble Outfitters ones online. Any recommendations/reviews or even any other brands? I'd like something with a bit of grip if possible as the mare can be quite gymnastic at times!
I'd prefer to try the tights style ones, have Montar breeches which I like a lot but fancy a change!
 
I've got a pair of the Equetech ones, they're ideal for riding in rain as you don't get wet in them, your body heat wicks away any moisture, they're really good. But their drawback (for me anyway) is there are no pockets, which is a bit of a common problem with "riding tights" in general TBH. Also they can be a bit slippery depending on your saddle, I have a suede seat so not a problem for me!

Have a look at some of the Endurance gear websites, I've bought from Performance Equestrian and they usually have some nice stuff on there, have had good customer service from them too. Worth a look I'd say. There are other Endurance/riding wear sites, sorry can't remember them, mebbe someone else here will be able to suggest some.
 
I have Kerritts Flow Rise performance tights in black and love them and have just bought the thicker ones ready for the colder weather.

I did have the Kerrits Flex Tight 2 I think they're called but I returned them promptly - 2 little words for you - 'camel toe'. Not nice!!
 
Aztec diamond, noble outfitters , Kerrits, performance equestrian, also running tights from sports direct. For winter musto are fabulous
 
The dublin performance ones although riding 'tights' do not show any 'camel toe' lady bits !!
They are not that thin, and are very good at holding in other lady parts.....aprons etc...........you know what I mean
 
I love everything of Noble outfitters - everything wears and washes really well and is made out of fab technical fabric. I would buy everything in their range if I caould afford it (though I already have 10 pieces so I'm not doing too bad!)
 
I use FITS riding tights which are super comfortable and grippy but also super expensive especially with a weak pound (they're American import). I've toyed with cheaper brands but never found anything that comes near FITS.
 
I've got the Dublin cool-it mesh ones. I like the fit and the mesh panels make them great for hot weather. Waistband in wide enough to hold everything in! But in an ideal world it would be a bit wider.

I don't like riding in them though, they have full gel seat and I find that the seat sticks to the saddle, but I slide about inside as they are stretchy/shiny material... Give a really weird feeling.
 
This is really interesting i need some as i get so hot riding but i do not want silicone for grip or tights that are shiny and slip about. The cool mesh ones look quite good but do they slip about?
