Riding breeches for women

Riding breeches reduce the risk of chafing and, depending on the material, can also help improve your seat and stability in the saddle. The seams on riding breeches are positioned where they will not cause discomfort. Riding breeches can be full-seat, knee-patch or completely unpadded. Full-seat breeches generally provide a better grip on the saddle, while many people feel that they get deeper into the saddle with unpadded or knee-patch breeches. It's a matter of preference and personal taste.
