Warm breeches for winter.

[kerilli]

Can anyone recommend any, please? i've got a pair of the musto ones but they're a bit too hot unless it is absolutely icy, but my summer cotton ones are too chilly now. and i can't stand having tights underneath, so that's a no-go. i need the thicker woven ones, but haven't been able to find any yet. recommendations please. thankyoukindly.

Hi Kerilli,

I recently bought a Dublin pair, lovely material, full seat, not a great fit for me (that's down to my shape) but lovely and warm.

*waves and waves*
hiya. my Dublin ones are very thin cotton, but a reasonable fit. will have a look at their other ones. ta.
will PM you. x

Mountain Horse Isolde are thicker - I bought a pair for competing and they're too hot for me even in winter - still riding in my summer Pikeurs (and will be all winter!)

 

[kerilli]

yeah, but you're hot-blooded! will check out the MH ones, ta.

I second those MH Isolde ones - really warm!

Try this website, they seem to have a lot of things cheaper than a lot of other websites.

I've bought these in slate. I thought the price was very good.

Me - hot blooded? It's not cold yet - mucked out and poo picked this morning in tracky bottoms and polo shite - OH in t shirt, rugby shirt, fleece, and thick dublin jacket and rode in his Ariat Glaciers last night

I recently bought some from Ice Distribution, Astund Clothing. www.astund.co.uk. They are designed in Iceland, for their weather conditions and really do the job. Look good too when you get off your horse. Stylish, and great fit and tailoring. They made my bum look firm and shapely! They were featured in H&H a few weeks ago, brand new on the market.

 

[kerilli]

thanks everyone, that's great.

How odd, they are like boot cut jods!! do they fit under half chaps?
How cool they managed to get Ginger Spice to model them...

Hi Kerilli - just wondered seeing as you have a pair, how do the Musto Snugs fit please? I'd like a pair but not sure if I'd be S or XS

I'm 5'5 and size 8...

 

[kerilli]

well, i'm 5'10" and size 12, and i have to have XL otherwise they're too short. sizing's a bit weird tbh, i think i'd go to a tackshop and try both tbh.

 

[sfward]

ok thanks, I'll have to see if there's anywhere round here that stock them... York is rubbish for finding decent riding clothes!

I love the cord Pikeur ones - not the most flattering, but lovely and warm for riding!

Georg Schumacher. they are water-repellent and windproof. but for the middle of winter not all that. the fit is lovely.

 

[Persephone]

the dublin supafit breeches are really thick and warm. comfy too and a good fit for my little waist and big butt!

What about chaps? I have Equenox full chaps with fleece on the inside - so cosy. They're waterproof but not that horrid crinkly rustly waterproof material.
