Keeps you exceptionally warm in cold weather.
Reasonable price. Approx £65.00.
Good colour range. Winter Red especially good for riding on the road.
Do not offer support of regular breeches/jodhpurs.
The seat goes threadbare if you ride alot.
Feel slippy in the saddle.
Have stirrups so feel bulky under long boots.
Musto Snug Jodphurs are a great idea in theory, jods that keep you warm. The only problem being that the material used to keep you warm is not particularly suitable for riding.
I would advocate these jods mainly for yard work as when they are transferred to the saddle they are not as impressive as first thought.
The material is, as promised exceptionally warm, but it is also exceptionally slippy in the saddle, especially so on my large moving Warm blood.
The seam of the jods runs from back to front, between your legs the extra bulk here obviously causing some discomfort (especially in the rising trot), when riding.
If the jods are used and washed regularly as they were with me as I ride everyday, they soon become threadbare and "holey" on the seat area.
The material also does not offer the suport of a "regular" pair of jods/breeches and feels more like a pair of leggings as the strappings are too small and too far down the leg.
Little extras added to most jods/breeches these days are also missing from these jods, zipped pockets and clarino seat or strappings for example
They do come in a good range of colours including ink and winter red (a bright pink) which would be useful for riders on the road due to their brightness. And they are a reasonable price, for the amount of wear you get.
Maybe the problems stem from Musto being first and foremost a retailer of sailing/yachting clothing and mainly adapting that sports clothing for equestrians, this way of working is great for coats and jackets but for something as specialist as jods they unfortunately miss the mark.
