Horse riding in the UAE can sometimes mean spending long periods of time in the saddle in hot and humid weather conditions, so riding in comfortable clothing is extremely important.
As an accomplished endurance rider, I always struggled to find the right kind of riding breeches, having to resort to wearing sports pants instead as they were the only pants that suited the extreme weather conditions. That was until Irideon asked me to try their new Synergy Riding Tights. They are, quite simply, amazing!
Whether you are in the saddle or around the stables, Irideon products are created with state of the art materials and cutting edge design to deliver extraordinary style, performance and comfort. Not only do the Synergy Riding Tights look and feel great, but they are extremely durable and breathable thanks to their special moisture management properties which help to keep you dry at all times. Light with a sporty design, the tights are made from a technical compression fabric that increases blood flow circulation and helps to prevent muscle damage. The other huge benefit is the large pockets, which safely carry phones etc.
Another huge fan of the Synergy Riding Tights is Jacky Freer from Equestri. “I first spotted the Synergy tights on a friend who was wearing them. My first impression before I had put them on was that these are gym pants not riding pants. I was proven wrong! Working for an online tack shop, I try a lot of breeches on from a lot of different brands. I also ride two to three horses a day, so I know the importance of functional breeches. Unfortunately, what usually happens is that with functionality, often comfort is lacking or vice versa. From the moment I slipped into my first pair I realized how comfortable the breeches were. Riding in them is a dream. They are super comfortable and have the right amount of padding in the right places,” said Jacky.
“These breeches are the ultimate in comfort”
“I love the deep pockets, very handy for keeping my phone close, especially when out on a hack in case of emergencies. I wear mine all day long because unlike most breeches, these are pull-on so there are no uncomfortable fixtures. These breeches are the ultimate in comfort for me. I would love to see a full set version coming out soon,” she added.
Synergy Riding Tights come in a wide range of colours and sizes and are available for men too! Experienced endurance rider Nabil Erian has been using Irideon tights for the past ten years for normal riding as well as long rides. “I am an avid endurance rider and was recently introduced to the newly developed Synergy tights by Georgina. I found them to be the perfect breeches for riding. The tights have the comfort of “skins” and the storage room of cargo trousers. Overall, they are the perfect addition to any rider, men and women alike.”
Working for Bonjour Equestrian Supplies selling horse products and equipment around the stables means I wear my riding tights all day. I can honestly say that I love them!
Synergy Riding Tights are available from Equestri online (www.equestri-online.com) and various UAE tack shops. They are priced at 380 AED and are distributed by Bonjour Equestrian Supplies.
