Horse riding leggings to purchase in Berlin or Naples

October 26, 2022 8:38 PM

If a person needed to buy leggings specifically for horse riding, in Berlin on a weekday OR in Naples, Italy on a Saturday, where should they go?

The riding will be 5-8 hours per day and the rider only brought two pairs for a week, forgetting to pick up the third pair from the dry cleaner, and expecting cooler weather. Riding days will be at least 70 degrees F every day. The rider has multiple anti chafe products on hand, but would prefer a seamless crotch in the pants, if available.

First priority though is finding out where to go, because it looks from google like some of the listed shops only sell things for the horses and they’re all spread out far enough that going to two will be difficult.

Laundry situation at riding place is unknown.

Best answer: Is there a Decathlon in either place? It's like the Walmart of European sporting goods stores, and they do have riding gear. You can probably check on their website to find out if things are in stock locally.

Best answer: Decathlon indeed sells riding leggings, and has stores in different locations in Berlin.

This place in Berlin sells riding gear, including 'Reithose' (riding leggings): https://www.reitsport-center-hoffschild.de/ - I haven't shopped there myself but it is fairly centrally located and has great Google reviews which specifically mention a wide selection of clothing and helpful staff.

Call the stable and ask where the nearest tack shop is. There will be one, and they will definitely have riding pants.

Response by poster: Stable is remote. Decathlon had exactly the thing!
