FITS Breeches: Choosing the Right Style of English Breeches

FITS English riding breeches are designed with the rider in mind, boasting styles for all riders.When choosing a style of breeches, there are different features for dressage breeches and English breeches. Full-seat breeches are often preferred by Dressage and Event riders, offering a more secure grip in the seat and knee flaps of the saddle. Knee-patch breeches are used for pleasure, hunter-jumper, and jumping, as they offer a smooth fabric for the seat to easily lift yourself out of the saddle over jumps while giving you the grip and security in your knee for a jumping position.

There are different fabrics, pockets, and zip styling as well. Front zip, side zip, and pull-on styles work to suit personal preference. There are fleece-lined fabrics with wind and water resistance that are great for winter riding, and performance fabrics to wick away sweat in the summer months. Riding tights, often in fun colors and stretchy comfortable fabrics, are great for wearing around the barn and schooling, where traditional show breeches will typically come in traditional white and neutral shades of tan or beige for the show ring. At Schneiders, you can always find the perfect style and fit for all of your riding needs, year-round!
