Which Gallop Equestrian jodhpurs or breeches should I buy?

The classic and two-tone jodhpurs are all built the same way: a 95% cotton, 5% Lycra blend with two front zip pockets and belt loops. The classic plain styles have a self seat, the two-tone styles have a contour seat, and the Full Silicone Seat Breeches are a different fabric again — a polyester/spandex mix with a full silicone seat, elasticated ankle cuffs and a front zip with hook-and-bar fastening. The real difference is who they are cut for, how much grip they give you, and what they cost. Here is the straight comparison of what is in stock right now.

What is the difference between jodhpurs and breeches?

In UK usage the words overlap a lot, and plenty of riders use them interchangeably. The practical difference in this collection is the seat and the fabric. The jodhpurs are cotton-rich with a plain self seat (classic styles) or a contrasting contour seat (two-tone styles), and they rely on the cotton and Lycra blend for stretch and comfort. The Full Silicone Seat Breeches use a polyester and spandex fabric with a full silicone seat that grips the saddle, plus elasticated ankle cuffs and a front zip with hook-and-bar fastening.

Do I actually need a silicone seat?

Not for gentle hacking. A plain self-seat jodhpur is perfectly good for lessons, riding out and yard work, and it is a lot cheaper. Silicone earns its keep when you are schooling seriously, jumping, or riding a horse that moves you around. Many riders end up owning both: a plain pair for everyday and a silicone seat pair for lessons and competitions.

How do Gallop Equestrian sizes work?

Sizes are given in inches and refer to the waist, not the inside leg. Measure round your natural waist with a tape, over the base layer you normally ride in, and pick the nearest inch size. Ladies' and two-tone styles are made from 24 to 40 inch, men's classic plain from 32 to 40 inch, and children's styles from 20 to 32 inch.

What if I am between sizes?

These are cotton and Lycra blends with a bit of give, so between sizes most riders are happier going up rather than down, especially if you like to tuck a base layer in or wear them over the winter. For a child who is mid-growth-spurt, sizing up one is usually the sensible call. If you are stuck, get in touch and our team will help you pick.

Why are children's jodhpurs so much cheaper?

Less fabric, simpler construction and smaller panels. It also means you can buy a spare pair, which matters when a child rides twice a week and one pair is permanently in the wash. The two-tone children's pair hides yard dirt better than plain beige, which is why it tends to be the pair that survives the winter.

Which colour should I choose?

Beige and white are the traditional competition colours and look smart for showing, but they show every stain. Black, navy and the two-tone options are far more forgiving for lessons, hacking and mucking out. If you only buy one pair for general riding, navy or black is the low-maintenance answer; if you are heading to a show, beige or white is what most classes expect.

How do I look after them?

Always follow the care label on the garment, but as a general rule for riding trousers: wash cool and inside out, and skip the tumble dryer. Heat is what shortens the life of the Lycra in a stretch jodhpur and what can lift a silicone seat panel. Line drying takes longer but keeps the stretch and the grip working for far more seasons, which matters most on the silicone seat breeches.

Gallop Equestrian jodhpurs and breeches: your questions answered

How much are Gallop Equestrian jodhpurs?

In-stock children's jodhpurs start from £7.27, ladies' jodhpurs from £11.60, the full silicone seat breeches from £19.47 and the men's classic plain jodhpurs from £20.34. Prices vary by size and colour, and the lowest option depends on what is in stock at the time.

Are jodhpur sizes the waist or the leg measurement?

The inch number is the waist measurement. Measure round your natural waist over your usual riding base layer and choose the nearest size. Ladies' styles are made up to 40 inch, men's classic plain from 32 to 40 inch, and children's styles from 20 to 32 inch.

What does a full silicone seat do?

A silicone seat panel grips the saddle so you stay more secure and stable through canter work, jumping and sudden movements. For gentle hacking a plain self-seat jodhpur is usually enough and costs less.

What are Gallop Equestrian jodhpurs made from?

The classic plain and two-tone jodhpurs, in ladies', men's and children's sizes, are a 95% cotton and 5% Lycra blend with two front zip pockets and belt loops. The Full Silicone Seat Breeches are a polyester and spandex mix with elasticated ankle cuffs, a front zip pocket and a hook-and-bar fastening.

Which colour is best for everyday riding?

Navy, black or a two-tone pair for day-to-day riding and yard work, because they hide dirt. Beige and white are the traditional choices for showing and competition but need washing far more often.

Can I return them if the size is wrong?

Yes. We offer 90-day returns on unworn items in their original condition, so you can try them on at home and send them back if the fit is not right. If you would rather get the size right first time, get in touch and our team will help.
