Not sure which to get fleece lined chaps or fleece lined riding trousers ? I am planning ahead when my girls ask what I would like for Christmas
I think those are the ones I’ve got and have to be hard pushed to wear, the fleece makes them so unstretchy so every time I bend my knees they pull down a bit more and being fleece they take my knickers with them I tried a belt but it’s just uncomfortable, maybe I need bracesDecathlon do fab, cheap fleece-lined joddies. I've worn them for years, they wash and wear well and don't slide around in the saddle.

So I am not the only one returning with a naked midriff? I now try not to slide down the side of the horse when dismounting.so every time I bend my knees they pull down a bit more and being fleece they take my knickers with them
I fear I could not do up the breeches if my shirts or (winter) sweater went inside. My breeches were bought in 2003 but in 2008 I had a serious appendix op. which left my tummy bulging. In winter I have always hacked in sweater, bp, fleece and Musto coat. It was very cold walking today and my ride is due tomorrow.Tuck a long top in ladies!
You do right not bothering when it's iced up, I remember the first year we had Zi and OH was really enthusiastic about hacking and wanted to keep him going all winter. We set off one time and I was wearing boots with really good grips and started to slide half way down the drive (I was walking with them both) and by the time we got across the road and on his usual route we both started having second thoughts - the ice was black and you just thought that every step was going to make you skid so we ended up turning for home. Zi didn't fare well either on the way back as one of his hoof boots came offI always by winter yard wear a size bigger so I can tuck a jumper in - the horses don't care if I look like the Michelin Man
Today and yesterday have been bitterly cold, I didn't ride because the ice patches on the yard weren't thawing and that makes it too risky in my opinion, particularly when hacks start by going down a steep ungritted hill.
I always do, I dislike drafts up my back!Tuck a long top in ladies!
