These fabrics can wick moisture away from your body, and provide the breathability that cotton can’t provide. This is an advantage during hot weather. Jodhpurs and breeches are great options for cold-weather riding. You can get them made from stretch corduroy or denim, and some even come with the lining made of fleece which keeps a rider warmer during cold-weather rides.

For the hunter riding style beige, grey, khaki and earth tones are the most common colors. The jumper style is generally more prevalent in white.
