To give riding jodhpurs their snug quality garments are manufactured with fabrics blended with an elasticated material such as spandex
. As riding jodhpurs are used in exercise it is important that the materials used in their manufacture allow the skin to freely breathe and for excess moisture to evaporate. Riding jodhpurs garments can also have reinforced areas. These are full seats (where the rider makes contact with the saddle) and knee patches (where the inside of the riders knees make contact with horse). These reinforced areas of the garment permit more comfort for the horse rider who has not alternative than move freely with the movements of their horse or pony.
