Our Favorite Kerrits Riding
Tights & Breeches for Summer

Why We Love These Tights:

During the extremities of summer heat, we love the temperature regulation provided by the Kerrits Coolcore Riding Tights. No matter how hot it is, the Coolcore tights work hard to lower your temperature; the innovative material is extremely lightweight and naturally disperses body heat! We appreciate the slick feel of these tights that allow any dirt and hair to quickly be wiped off, and these riding pants are the most effective at wicking away sweat. No swamp butt for us around here! We feel the most peace of mind in the sun while wearing Coolcore, knowing the integrated UPF 50+ sun protection is helping to prevent sun damage to our delicate skin.

Why We Love These Tights:

The Kerrits Flow Rise Riding Tights have been a staff and customer favorite for years, and it's no wonder why! The chafe-free seams ensure we don't experience any rubs while in the saddle, and the material itself is very soft against our legs. Plus, we really enjoy the option of mixing up our look between neutral or bright, bold colors. The mild grip provided by the StretchLite™ Suede knee patches is nice for horseback riders that don't particularly like the grip from a full seat riding pant. Overall, these tights take the cake for us in terms of comfort!

Why We Love These Tights:

With the Kerrits Microcord Riding Tights, we feel fully equipped to tackle both barn chores and the trails ahead thanks to their durability. The ribbed material is ultra-supportive for fatigued muscles, and the bootcut silhouette offers plenty of leg coverage while we're in the saddle. When the weather starts to heat up, sometimes it's nice to ride without half chaps—these Microcord tights take care of that! Despite being tights, we still find the design to be sufficient enough in smoothing any imperfections (like cellulite)—so we can feel confident on the ground and on horseback. The Microcord fabric holds up like no other tight we've ridden in, ensuring years of use!

Why We Love These Breeches:

The "grip" in GripTek runs true for the Kerrits GripTek II Riding Breeches, because these breeches are so grippy that we actually need to size up to get them on! Especially loved by eventers during cross country, these breeches will keep your bum glued to the saddle thanks to the Kerrits-exclusive GripTek full seat (even if they get wet). These slick feeling riding pants offer us the coverage and moisture-wicking we need when the competition heats up. Flattering and classic in look, we feel empowered to take on any riding course in the GripTek II breeches!

Why We Love These Breeches:

The versatility offered by the Kerrits Crossover II Breeches is unmatched, thanks to all the features packed into these comfy riding pants. Ideal during the summertime to help keep us cool, the lightweight Dynamic™ Extreme fabric is resistant to dirt and water—perfect for going from the barn to the saddle without fear of messing up our nice looking breeches! We love these classy pants for everyday use during schooling sessions, then it's quick and easy to machine wash them for a sophisticated look in the show ring. The soft, lightweight feel conforms to any rider's body like a hug. These Crossover II breeches simply leave us leaping for joy!

Why We Love These Breeches:

The Kerrits Affinity Pro Breeches look great on any body, courtesy of the figure-flattering seams and soft ProStretch Twill™ fabric that smooths. With ergonomically shaped silicone knee grips, these breeches offer more grip in the irons compared to suede knee patches; plus, the design is especially ideal in high heat conditions for when we start to sweat more! We love these riding pants for those hot days when we want a bit more coverage but are still desiring a breathable option. Specifically engineered by Kerrits for high performance, these breeches should earn a medal for how flattering they are on every horseback rider!
