Microcord™ Extended Knee Patch Bootcut Riding Pant

I’ve had many pairs of these tights through the years. They fit great are a nice weight and do not rub. I’m not a very big person. I usually wear medium but find in these tights large fits me better as I get older.

I love the comfort and flexibility of the microcord tights. I’ve been wearing them for years. When they made them with pockets, I replaced all my old ones!

Yesterday, I was impressed more! My water bottle tether broke during a trip into the hills. I shoved it into my pocket and rode 3 more hours without losing my bottle or fighting to keep it in place!

I wore these every day on my week-long ride on the Camino de Santiago. With the exception of some snags from blackberry thorns from riding through some dense Galician forests, they were exactly the jods I needed for this ride. Over 25 hours in the saddle with no chafing, good leg protection, and excellent comfort. I turned them inside out to air out at night and they were good to go for the next day. The best part is they are still in excellent condition and ready for more riding! While most of us won’t wear them for an adventure like this, if they can hold up for a Camino ride, they’ll be great for day to day riding. FYI I usually wear an XL in Kerrit’s jods and I wear a L in these - they run a bit loose in my opinion.

The microcord fabric on these riding pants is soft and stretchy allowing for maximum comfort during frequent mounts and dismounts that I do on the trail and competing in CMO’s (Competitive Mounted Orienteering). We do a lot of trotting so the knee patch makes it so I don’t need to wear a half chap. I purchased a size S. The fit is perfect with the exception of the inseam being a little long on my 5’0, 110lb body frame.

I just had to throw out two pairs of these pants. Why? They were 11 years old and the elastic gave out in the waist band. Living up in Minnesota and the changing of the seasons I wear these from Spring into the first signs of Winter. All the washing and drying over the years finally took it's toll on the elastic. These are so comfortable, I don't ride in anything else. From barn to running errands after I forget I am wearing them. I ride both Western Dressage and Saddleseat , the flexibility in movement is so easy.
