Four Big Benefits of a Little Silicone in the Saddle

Four Big Benefits of a Little Silicone in the Saddle

Posted by Noel Asmar on

No matter where, when, or how you ride, what you wear to ride matters. Choosing riding apparel that’s comfortable, purposeful, and high performing lets riders of all skill levels focus on technique and train like a pro. That’s why when it comes to choosing breeches or leggings, a little silicone in the saddle can make a world of difference.

We’ve recently launched Women’s Silicone Grip Riding Leggings at Asmar Equestrian and put together some of the top reasons you’ll want to get a pair (or two, or three).

  1. Grip
    Perhaps the biggest benefit of silicone is the grip. The silicone on the leggings holds you in the saddle, reducing movement and fidgeting and allowing you to focus on other things when riding, all of which can be a huge advantage when schooling or working on specific techniques. We’ve reviewed countless silicone patterns to ensure our leggings have the right amount of grip and hold without being too sticky, too hot, or too restrictive.

  2. Next level comfort
    Made from a luxurious and buttery soft fabric, legging breeches are the epitome of comfortable riding wear. Our leggings have no buttons to dig in anywhere and feature a double waistband to hold, support, shape and contour you. The fabric stretches and breathes, and the leggings also feature flatlocked seams to eliminate chafing and increase durability.

  3. Easy to wear, easy to wash
    Unlike breeches with suede patches, their silicone counterparts can be easily washed and maintained. In fact, all you need to do is flip them inside out, throw them in the washing machine, and lay flat to dry. The fabric provides UPF50 sun protection, dries quickly, and retains its shape and ensures you look chic and stylish in and out of the saddle.

  4. A range of options
    Asmar Equestrian Silicone Grip Riding Leggings come in both full seat and knee patch styles to cater to whatever your needs are as a rider. Wear them for schooling in dressage, cross-country, getting over jumps, general trail riding, or even out to coffee after a trip to the barn. Choose from classic black or rich navy blue, and keep your essentials close with a zippered pocket in the back waistband and a larger leg pocket with silicone grip so your phone is never out of reach for safety, or a quick selfie.
