Riding tights?

[poiuytrewq]

Can anyone recommend some nice ones? I thought I may treat myself to a pair with next weeks weather forecast (are they much cooler?)
I’m struggling a bit in my usual breeches (I may, may have eaten too much junk recently...)
Would like £30-£50 unless there are some amazing ones out there.
I see decathlon have some under £20 but figure they probably won’t be the most attractive

The Decathlon ones are nice and inexpensive

I love Kerrits but if you want a more traditional look these are very nice

I have just bought my first riding tights, and they are wonderful! Mine are from Noble Outfitters.

I bought my Horseware ones last spring and I wore them all through the winter (and they're still going). They are so comfy, and they have a pocket on each thigh that fits a mobile phone which is SO handy. I recently ordered a pair of riding tights from Aztec Diamond Equestrian and although they were a bit cheaper and they looked nice, the fabric was so thin and flimsy they wouldn't have lasted very long and my knickers were visible though them! I had to send them back. I would definitely recommend the Horseware ones. They are nice and sturdy without being heavy, and they have mesh panels and a wide waistband. The only criticism is that the Horseware screen-printed logo came off after about three washes but I'm not that bothered about it. A yard friend of mine has a pair of Imperial Colt tights and they are really smart-looking and she is pleased as punch with them.

I always use noble outfitters balance riding tights, have done many miles in them!

Another vote for Noble Outfitters Balanced Riding Tights! I've also heard the Apt Cavalier ones are good and nice and cool too.

Dublin or Horze. So comfortable. I'll never go back to jodphurs. The Dublin ones look pretty smart too.

What's the difference between riding rights and pull on jodhpurs?

The riding tights are thinner material. They come in a wicking type of material. I have a pair that are lighter than leggings but they have a fullseat made of silicone.

So originally it was Noble outfitters or Horseware I was looking at so that’s all good!
How do the sizes on each brand come up?

 

[BeckyFlowers]

Horseware ones come up as average size I would say, but because they are really stretchy and have the wide waistband they fit like a glove (in a comfortable way!)

I love Arion riding tights.

 

[poiuytrewq]

I’ve just bought a pair of Noble Outfitters, partly because I’m really fussy about gloves and love my Noble outfitters gloves, if the tights are as comfy I’ll be happy!
Got them from Amazon as they had a bit of money off and free post with Prime.

Don't riding tights reveal far too much that ought not to be displayed to unsuspecting onlookers :eek3: ?

No more than Jods, they're not that thin.

 

[Tiddlypom]

No undies on show, then?

 

[Britestar]

I have a friend who's saddle is now covered in little d's after using the Dublin ones. Be aware.

Yeah, mine have knee grips, not bum.

I thought that might be the case, but they're actually fine. The Dublin ones are nicely cut aswell. Luckily my saddle hasn't got covered in little D's unlike britestar's friend.

 

[Dave's Mam]

My Arions.

 

[Mule]

My Arions.

They're nice. I just looked at their site. They're really good value too. Oh dear, perhaps I need a new pair

They are a very good price & they are super comfy. Nice wide waistband that doesn't dig in.

 

[Louby]

Ive just bought some Decathlon ones after wave reviews on the yard Im on. Only £15.99! so we shall see

 

[2ndtimearound]

I have both Dublin and Arion ones. I prefer the full-seat stickiness of the Dublin ones, but the Arion ones are way more comfortable and have useful pockets (not to mention being half the price). I rode in the Dublin ones the other day, after having worn the Arion ones for a while, and I found the thick seams on the Dublin ones (at the back of the leg) were getting on my nerves by the time I took them off.

Another vote for Kerrits - expensive new but I got mine 2nd hand off ebay. Another thing about some tights is that, presumably because of the high lycra content of the fabric, they can be a bit "shiny". Not a good look for oldies like me but won't bother younger riders (or thin ones).

 

[pansymouse]

I wear FITs but they are eye wateringly expensive now the £ is so weak against the $. I'm keeping mine going until the exchange rate improves. I've tried cheaper ones but nothing is as good.

I live in my Noble Outfitters Balance tights. I got rid of all my traditional breeches and now have 4 pairs of them and am ordering another pair next month. I love them. I'm hard on breeches and the NO ones have lasted incredibly well over the last 2 years. They literally still look new.

They also started an NO obsession and I have loads of their stuff now - if I need anything they are the first place I look! Their mid-layer tops in particular are fantastic.

I have one pair from Snuggy Hoods (so can't compare to other brands) and I LOVE them, super comfy, nice wide waistband to hold my flabby bits in and they're long enough for the taller than average of us.

 

[Otherwise]

I have a pair of Dublin ones, I like that they have a full silicone seat. My only gripe is they leave d's on the saddle but as I clean my tack after every ride it's not too big a deal. Love how comfy tights are compared to breeches and the lighter fabric really helps in summer
