Rider breggings have become increasingly popular in the equestrian world over the past few years. These innovative garments are a hybrid of the comfort of a legging and the heavier weight fabric of a breech. Making them the perfect choice for riders who want to combine style, comfort, and functionality.
The main difference between rider breggings and traditional breeches is the material used in their construction. Breggings are made from a combination of spandex and nylon, which gives them a stretchy, form-fitting feel, while also providing enough structure and support to withstand the rigors of riding. This unique combination of materials allows riders to move freely and comfortably, without feeling restricted or weighed down by heavy, bulky fabrics.
Another key feature of rider breggings is their design. Unlike traditional breeches, which often have zippers, buttons, and other hardware that can dig into the rider’s skin or cause discomfort, breggings have a simple, streamlined look that is both stylish and practical. They also typically have a high waistband and a reinforced silicone inner leg, which provides extra support and protection while riding. Silicone inner legs are great for additional grip particularly in any difficult situations whilst riding.
Breggings tend to have a high GSM – grams per square metre, which is a technical fabric term. Meaning they are a heavier weight than a legging – thus offering so many more benefits.
One of the biggest benefits of rider breggings is their versatility. They are suitable for a wide range of equestrian activities, from dressage and show jumping to trail riding and eventing. They can be worn with a variety of different tops, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets, making them a great choice for riders who want to look good both in and out of the saddle. They can be worn for everyday horse riding but also for competitions making them super versatile.
Overall, rider breggings are a great choice for riders who want to combine style, comfort, and functionality. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced equestrian, these versatile garments are sure to help you look and feel your best while riding.
