A major determining factor in choosing the right legwear is the material they are made of; thicker materials are more suitable for cold winters, whereas thinner materials can offer better comfort in summer. With developments in textile manufacturing, you can now get an advantage from equestrian-tailored sportsman breeches that provide you brilliant elasticity, resilience and breathability - as well as a flattering fit for riders of all shapes and sizes. Of precise importance are the material on the seat and inner knees. If these zones are covered in extra fabric the breeches will be classified as 'full seat' or 'knee patch'.
