Crucial Information On Ridding Breeches

By Marissa Velazquez


For any horseback rider, breeches (britches) and jodhpurs are two important pieces of unique clothing that make riding an extraordinary experience. The two are quite similar and the difference is seen at the point they finish on the leg of the rider. Both fits tightly in the skin of the rider, however, britches normally finish around the mid calf and they also have touch and close fastening so as to offer the rider a tight fit. On the other hand jodhpurs tend to finish around the ankle of the rider.

Britches are usually designed to fit tightly and at the same time discourage rubbing during back horse riding activity. These riding britches stretch so as to allow extensive freedom of movement which gives the riders more comfort while horseback riding. With all the comfort, the rider can concentrate and focus on riding rather than chafing, pinching and sliding on the saddle. He or she can be able to ride on any style.

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.

There are many advantages that come with investing a good pair of riding gear. Designers incorporate spandex, spandex or some stretchy fibre into the fabric thus making the britches and jodhpurs more comfortable because of the stretching element in them. This allows your breech or Jodhpur to cling to your body and move with you, this enhances extra comfort and assures no movement restriction in any way whatsoever.

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.

Some riders replace britches with jeans but the experience not comparable. Jeans are not comfortable; they normally rub against your skin while horseback riding and this can be very uncomfortable and limit freedom of movement of the rider. It is therefore important to shop around for the best britches for the best horse riding experience.

Finally, There are a number of places you can buy breeches or jodhpurs. Track stores, online, second hand shops and speciality equestrian shops are some of the outlets that you can shop for these riding attires. Remember to take your own waist and inseam measurements before you head to the stores to buy these pair of trousers.
