You feel good, you rode well and even organised someone to take some pretty pictures of you. What a winner of a day - until you take a closer look at the photos and notice your legs.

You zoom in - (you think: "Shouldn't have done that...");

You squint - ("Is that really what my legs look like..?!");

You release and zoom in again - ("That didn't change a thing.....!")

 

Next time you grab your pair of riding tights, you get flashbacks and hesitate; it's haunting you - the horror, the nightmare. Slightly exaggerated haha

It is not always easy to embrace yourself for the way you are but lumps, bumps and cellulite are part of our bodies - for most of us anyway. Getting older, having children and putting on some extra weight are all contributing factors. Do we want to parade it for everyone to see? - No! Do we want to be comfortable and have amazing pictures without having to be conscious of our perfectly normal 'imperfections'? - Yes! 

We want to feel great and know that we look great, too. It doesn't matter if it is for a photo shoot, lesson, ride in the paddock or whatever. Speaking to other female riders it is on our minds but we feel silly for talking about it. We just take it and rather stick to our thick jodhs that smooth everything over. We don't even look at riding tights anymore because - unfortunately - the thin and expensive pair we bought is still giving us the shivers. ("It might come in handy as a fire-starter tonight though..")

Why should we have to compromise for thick, restrictive and uncomfortable jodhs in the name of 'looking good'? That's right! We shouldn't!

Give our Classic Collection a go or try the Royal Blue or Crimson Red Tights. (Brown and Pink are thinner fabric). We cannot guarantee it will cover every lump and bump but we definitely have converted A LOT of 'tights-haters' that are now onto even their third and fourth pair of Pure Canter tights. - Give us a try and let us know your feedback!
