Sticky Bum Silicone
Sticky Bum riding leggings—a favorite for a reason! They’re basically the comfy cousin of traditional breeches, with added grip that gives riders better control and stability in the saddle.
🧲 1. Extra Grip (a.k.a. “Sticky Bum”)
- The silicone seat or silicone patterns across the bum and inner thigh area help “stick” you to the saddle.
- for:
-
Flatwork and dressage (more stability).
-
Young or nervous riders who want to feel more secure.
-
Green horses (those unexpected spooks or bucks!).
😌 2. Super Comfortable
- Stretchy, breathable fabrics—think yoga pants with equestrian upgrades.
- Wide, high-waisted bands = no digging or muffin top.
- No bulky seams = no chafing.
🧼 3. Easy Maintenance
- Usually machine washable.
- Quick-drying and wrinkle-resistant—perfect for everyday barn life.
👌 4. Freedom of Movement
-
More flexible than some structured breeches.
-
Ideal for schooling, hacking, groundwork, or even running errands post-ride.
📱 5. Rider-Friendly Features
🧍♀️ 6. Sleek, Flattering Fit
-
The design hugs and smooths your silhouette.
-
High-rise styles are supportive and stylish, often worn casually outside the barn too.
⚖️ Things to Consider:
-
The grip varies between brands—some are very sticky, others more subtle.
-
Not always allowed in formal competitions (check your show’s dress code).
-
May wear out faster than heavier breeches, especially if used hard daily.
