Riding tights or leggings are more comfortable than riding breeches. Leggings (sometimes called "reggings" as a combination of riding and leggings) have no zips, buttons or belt loops. Riding tights are easy to put on quickly and they fit your body like a second skin. Riding tights are as comfortable as joggers but look much better. For riders who spend many hours in their Jodhpurs or breeches, the comfort offered by riding tights is hard to argue with. Riding breeches, on the other hand, are the classic option, so you should choose them for tournaments. Show judges are usually extremely conservative and in dressage competitions, at the very least, the appearance of the rider is also taken into account - possibly even subconsciously. You should therefore stay on the safe side and choose a pair of riding breeches.
