Crucial Information On Ridding Breeches

By Marissa Velazquez


It is intrinsic to every rider that if you really want to enjoy horseback riding you must get yourself the right equipments. When wearing the right clothing you will be in a position to effectively compete in specific shows, events or races. A good pair of riding breeches (britches) is one of the most essential to effective riding.

For the britches to be worn comfortably with long boots, they have to be fastened. Jodhpurs can comfortably be worn with long boots. However, they are commonly worn with Jodhpur boots or paddock boots along with chaps or gaiters.

Another intrinsic characteristic of riding breeches is that they are perfectly crafted to fit inside tall riding boots. They come in fly-front, pull-on, or side-zip styles. Pull-on britches have elastic waistband and do not require belt loops. Front-zip riding britches are common to majority of the people because they are classic in style. They contain both belt loops.

Britches are made of different varieties of fabrics. While making the horse riding britches, designers normally use cotton or blends of cotton because the fabric is comfortable. While the rider is sweating, the cotton breech get dump because cotton does not absorb moisture. However, advanced microfibers are becoming popular with the riders. These garments provide ideal breathability while still wicking away moisture from the body of the rider.

Spandex or cotton-polyester are commonly used in making of britches; they are also designed to stretch. Basically, they are tapered at the end to fit under tall, English-style riding boots, known as jodhpurs. Moreover, designers also make special britches that fit well outside of shorter boots called paddock boots.

Knee patches are very useful especially for those who find out that your jodhpurs are getting worn out around the knees. Knee must be flexible while riding to enhance flexibility. It is therefore advisable to buy breeches or jodhpurs with knee pads sewn in. Some designers use the same fabric with the rest of the jodhpurs or breeches to make knee pads while others make knee pads from other materials like suede or any other suitable fabric.

English riding activities are the ones that normally use britches but also many western riders wear and enjoy the good feel of riding britches. They prefer these britches rather than jeans that normally rub against your skin while horseback riding and this can be very uncomfortable.

In conclusion, whether you are riding for competition or for fun, it is important to look decent and more so feel comfortable. Great pair of breeches will not only give riders fantastic look but also enhances freedom of movement that not any clothing can give.
