I’ve got 5 or 6 pairs of these. Not the leggings but the breeches. Nice enough for show, no compression, and very comfortable. I can wear them all day and not feel like I want to peel them off immediately after I get off the horse like I do with other brands. And the price can’t be beat.
Here’s the link:
I LOVE my two pairs of these from Lemieux: https://www.lemieuxproducts.com/us/new-in/summer-pull-on-breech-bluebell#selection.color=6639
Also, the pockets are amazing and I want them in every pair of pants I own.
Pipers… are VERY sticky. They are also on the heavy side (thick material) which made them very uncomfortable on hot days. Sausage casing… yes, they can be.
I didn’t really like them, so quit wearing them and can’t comment on how long the silicone lasted. I would not buy again.
These look really nice (and the price is good!), but they do appear - at least on the model - to be on the compressive side.
Thanks for the input on the Pipers @Obsidian_Fire! Will stay away from them.
@Spudsmyguy - I think I’ll bit the bullet and order a pair of the tights off Amazon - the price IS right! (BTW - I got the Kerrits half chaps at your recommendation - LOVE them!)
I second the Amazon tights! I’m going in year 4 of abusing mine and they’re still going strong. As far as the Free Rides, I find that the Lux are semi-compressive but the Define have a lot more stretch and give. I’m a fan of compression so they’re not my favorites, but they might be right up your alley.
For what it’s worth I don’t find them to be compressive for my body (they fit similar to my normal leggings and I can wear them all day), but that’s always such a hard thing to gauge, it is so dependent on body shape!
In the fall they go on clearance–at least they did last year and that’s how I got my first pair–if you want to keep an eye open for that, might be more worth the risk then
Do you find the seam in the crotch bothersome at all? Some of the tights I find an issue with that lol
I don’t find an issue with these–and that is something that has bothered me with other brands, for what that’s worth!
Thank you! Glad you understood what I meant hahaha
Sorry you had a bad experience with Tuff Rider. I was just coming on to say that I have a pair of winter fleece-lined and a lightweight summer Minerva tight from TR, and have been pretty happy with both, for the cheap price I paid. TR seems to have a short inseam, which works for my Shetland Pony legs. Material holds its shape, but isn’t super-compressive.
