Proper fit of riding pants and tights is crucial for you to feel comfortable and perform your best while in the saddle. Here are some tips to help you understand if a pair of breeches really fits you.

Many brands provide their own size charts with measurements for the waist, hips, and inseam. Your size may differ between brands, so it’s important to reference that specific brand’s sizing chart while shopping. For example, SmartPak brand breeches, such as the Piper and Hadley lines, use this sizing chart.
Some riders prefer a snugger fit, while others want more room and flexibility. Take your personal preferences into account when choosing the size that feels most comfortable for you. Trying breeches in different styles – such as low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise – is a great way to experiment and find the style that best suits your body type. Keep in mind, we carry plus size options as well as curvy fit which provides more room specifically in the hips and thighs.
