Considerations When Buying Breeches And Jodhpurs

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.

As indicated earlier, there are four major types of breeches; knee-patch britches have a leather patch on the side of the knee and goes well with long boots. They can also be worn with half chaps or paddock boots, full seat britches has gripping material that runs throughout the breech and they offer the rider enhanced protection more as compared to knee-patch breech. Jodhpur britches end at the ankle with a short cuff. They are normally worn by children for casual riding and also for lessons. Jockey britches are usually lightweight and are designed purposely for racing.

It is also important to shop around for the right size of britches or jodhpurs. The wrong size can make you feel uncomfortable. The design you own should be cut to suit your body type. The best shopping style of riding gears is moving around without fear, trying on a number of makes and designs. Buy the one that is comfortable and fits you well.

In other cases, horse riding britches are designed to keep the riders worm especially during winter by providing thermal protection. They come in different sizes according to waist sizes. The measuring units are inches. They are also available in regular and long which connotes to in-seam length. Britches normally stretch but they do vertically thus can allow maneuverability lengthwise but they can be snug for small sizes because they do not stretch horizontally.

Comfortability and durability are very important in enhancing the experience of the rider. Good britches will all the time be able to hold tightly the saddle and importantly protect the skin of the rider. Britches come in many styles, colors, types and sizes. The activity of the rider, whether practicing or racing will determine the type of britches he or she will put on.

Many say that dark colors are the best for jodhpurs and breeches because the stains that come along with owning a horse are hid. However, for competition or racing it is important to wear the right color. Some water proof trousers can help you clean if you are wearing bright colors riding attire like white or beige.

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.
