Thermal tights or regular leggings?

The difference is on the inside. Thermal riding tights have a warming inner layer, usually fleece. Regular riding leggings are thinner and fit close. Both have a silicone grip for hold in the saddle.

The weather at the yard decides: on a cold, windy morning the thermal pair is the comfortable one; on a mild autumn day the regular leggings are enough.

A full silicone seat gives hold in the saddle, and a side phone pocket carries a silicone logo print. Material: 86 % polyester, 14 % elastane. Machine-washable at 30 °C on a gentle cycle; not for the tumble dryer.
