Kerrits Fleece Lite II Knee Patch Riding Tight

These are designed for cooler weather rather than deep winter conditions. The brushed fleece lining provides a nice layer of insulation for indoor arenas or brisk fall days, but you may need an additional base layer if you are riding outside in freezing temperatures.

GripSoft is a synthetic material designed to mimic the feel of leather while offering more flexibility and breathability. It provides a secure, tacky grip in the saddle without the stiffness or maintenance requirements of real leather.

Yes, the two low-profile side pockets are designed to securely hold most modern smartphones. They sit flat against the leg to ensure they don't interfere with your movement while riding.

The three-inch wide waistband is engineered to stay in place. Because it is wider than a standard waistband, it distributes pressure more evenly and is less likely to roll or dig in during active movement.

The mini-herringbone jacquard knit is durable, but like most technical riding fabrics, it can attract hay and hair. However, the smooth exterior finish makes it relatively easy to brush off compared to softer, brushed-cotton fabrics.

The four-way stretch fabric is quite forgiving, so you generally do not need to size up. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick base layers underneath, you might consider sizing up, but most riders find their standard size works perfectly.
