Men's riding clothing: start with the breeches

Men's riding breeches must leave room in the crotch without bunching up in the saddle, and come up high enough at the back not to slip down when you go into a forward seat. Try them on sitting down, legs apart as in the saddle: if they are tight at the front or pull at the waistband, change the cut rather than the size. They are almost always worn with a belt.

For training, the HKM Sportive and San Lorenzo, the Privilège St Malo or the Ego7 men's breeches suit most sessions. In winter, the Horse Pilot X-Balance Winter keeps you warm. The Privilège Tenevo, the Harcour Costaso and the Horse Pilot X-Design come in white and can also be worn at competitions. They are all in our men's riding breeches.

Polo shirts and mid layers

The polo shirt remains the most practical top: it tucks into your breeches and does not flap at the trot. The long sleeves of the Privilège Bankso or the Ego7 polo shirts protect your arms from the sun and branches when riding out. On top, the Harcour Shelton sweatshirt or Flash jumper are enough until the first cold snaps, with a Horse Pilot Rider gilet for chilly mornings.

For winter and rain

For warmth, you can choose between the Flexon padded jacket, the Hamburg and the Munich jacket by HKM, the HKM men's softshell, the Harcour Jako or the Robertol parka. In the rain, the Horse Pilot Long Raintech comes down to the thighs. Before buying, reach your hands forward as if shortening your reins: a jacket that pulls between the shoulder blades will bother you every session. The whole selection is in our men's jackets and coats.

Men's competition wear

For competitions, compare the Horse Pilot Aerotech and Aeromesh jackets and the Privilège Tasavero on the page for men's competition jackets. Try the jacket on sitting down, with the polo shirt or shirt you will wear in the ring: if it creases at the stomach once you are in the saddle, it is too tight. For the top, the Privilège Urbano polo shirt is cut for competition.
