favourite riding tights?

[dottylottie]

what are your go to riding tights that aren’t erm, *unflattering* in the front? ideally more budget friendly but i’m not opposed to spending more if they’re worth it!

i’ve looked at a lot, especially the smaller online brands, but not being able to try things on since they often don’t sell in shops makes me hesitant since i hate the faff of returns haha

Just togs for cheaper, gs equestrian are also quite good!
Le Mieux for perfect quality ?

I like my Dark Horse Equestrian ones they fit well and only about £30 the base layers are good as well.

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

Actually just looked and the essential riding tights are only £24.99 they have some reduced stuff for black friday as well.

 

[Britestar]

Equine splendor are really nice and not at all expensive.

Plus they do Ones without sticky bums.

[Goldenstar]

Pepperell for me .

 

[Goldenstar]

Oh and I love the socks as well .

I have a few pairs of Eileen Douglass ones. They’re cheap and cheerful but have lasted well. I wear them in winter with fleecy leggings underneath too. They do them without a silicone seat, which is a must for me.

They usually have the aw range in the Boxing Day/nye sales. The blue matchy breeches from aw22 might be a more neutral colour?

Legacy all the way for riding tights. I have a few pairs of their full seat tights and they’ve lasted forever. Around the £40-50 mark I believe.

Another good brand is Harry hall. Their tights are constantly on sale and are true to size. Very nice material and again, super long lasting.

Stay clear of Justtogs imo. While I like a lot of their clothing and boots, I had serious issues with their tights - specifically the ones with the mesh down the sides over the logo. The stitching fell apart within a few weeks.

Best breeches are ariat. Not tried their tights but their breeches are very worthwhile if you find a good sale on them and are far more flattering than tights (and many of them are stretchier now than breeches used to be!)

My grey just togs did too, none of the other colours tho ?

My burgundy ones did ? Haven’t worn my ‘grey’ pair enough to see the damage (I quote because they looked grey in the store & the tag said they were, but they turned out to look a rather gross shade of purple in the sun).

It’s a shame, as I really do love their old boots and the tights are a good price.

i’ll have to keep an eye out! i’m not crazy about the colours this year but for the right price i’m sure i could live with the fig

 

[Barton Bounty]

I have a lot of Pikeur but they are really pricey ?

 

[holeymoley]

I have no idea what mine are- they say apollo on the side and I picked them up for a steal at a horse trials. The cameo ones are nice too.

Sorry to derail slightly OP but I have a riding tights related question.
I bought a pair of the gs equestrian ones in a sale, but they’re super shiny/slippery material.
I haven’t really seen other riding tights up close, is this how they all are or is it specific to the brand I bought?

No they are not all like that, did you buy the Becca ones with just knee patches?

Have you had a look at FLexars? They're really comfortable and flattering.

 

[Hallo2012]

Eqcouture-really warm and pretty water proof only heavy downpours leave them damp.

just looked at their website and it looks like i wouldn’t have to roll them up at my ankles too, winner!? thankyou very much

 

[scats]

Loved my shires aubrion ones- flattering, comfortable and had a phone pocket. Unfortunately they were cut off in the trauma unit ?
I shall be buying another pair!

 

[eggs]

I really like the Flexars although they definitely are not the cheapest they really do fit nicely and last forever

i don’t mind paying a bit more for a pair that don’t give you ? ?…??‍?

 

[WispyBegs]

Eqcouture! Haven’t found another pair to beat them.
Super warm and flattering.
They have 20% off on their website just now for Black Friday.

 

[SpotsandBays]

CT Equine collections - if you like a super sticky seat! About £35 I think? Two pockets, lots of pretty colours too
