Yes you can wear black in Summer without cooking, if you're wearing CoolMax. Slip into the Coolmax Bootleg Riding Pants and take on the heat without breaking a sweat.
This isn’t just any fabric—it’s engineered to keep you cool and dry, no matter how high the mercury climbs. The secret? Coolmax fibres wick moisture away from your skin and dry fast, so you stay comfortable in even the hottest conditions.
Most fibres are round or oval, but Coolmax fibres are different—they’ve got a groove running down their length. This clever design pulls moisture away from your skin and spreads it across the fabric’s surface, where it evaporates in no time, keeping you cool and dry. And no, you won’t see it working, even on the hottest days, there won’t be a single sweat mark on your bootleg riding pants.
Standard leg length is 32" measured from crotch to hem.
Shorter leg length is 29" measured from crotch to hem.
Longer leg length is 35" measured from crotch to hem.
This is a question that can be more contentious than Apple V's Android. But that's okay, if you choose the silicone option for your new CoolMax bootleg riding pants, you'll have enough grip to be secure in the saddle without it gripping so hard you can't rise to the trot.
And if you enjoy the total freedom of movement that comes without the silicone grip, you can simply choose the zero silicone option, for absolutely zero silicone!
Pockets? Of course, we’ve got phone pockets! Because let’s face it, we take our phones everywhere—and they need to be safe, secure, and easy to grab when you need them. Plus, you’ll love the functional front pockets for all your other essentials.

The pants are a great fit - perfect amount of stretch and so much more flattering than regular breeches It's hard to find flattering riding pants in your 50's that aren't built for 20 year olds! These are great & a nice price point as well, thank you Plum Tack, can't wait to wear these to my upcoming working equitation day out! Will be getting more colours for sure. Some pics of my recent bareback adventures with my mare, Brazil.
Hi Siria,
Thank you so much for your beautiful review and for sharing your photos, they’re absolutely lovely. You and Brazil look fantastic.
I’m so glad they’ve been such a good fit for you. It really means a lot to hear they’re working well and helping you feel comfortable and confident in the saddle.
Good luck for your working equitation day, it sounds like a lot of fun.
Happy riding,
Jill
I found the Coolmax bootleg pants to fit very well and comfortably as advertised. They have a soft feel against the skin and don’t feel restrictive. They breathe well and sweat and moisture evaporates quickly so you won’t be stuck with wet pants for long if you’re caught in heat or rain! Thanks Plumtack!
Hi E.M,
Thanks so much for your wonderful review—and the gorgeous photos! You and your horse make a stunning pair (that mane! 😍).
I’m so glad to hear the Coolmax pants have lived up to their name—comfortable, breathable, and doing their job when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Happy riding,
Jill
I love these pants, very comfortable & nice and cool to wear on a hot Aussie day!
Even better, they didn't tear when I came off on a gravel road, on their 2nd use mind you!
Would definitely buy again!
(Photo is of me wearing them up in the Victorian high country, I'm wearing the red shirt!)
Only thing was that I misjudged the length & got the 32" when I should've gotten the 29" (I'm 5'3 & an AU 12)
Hi Ashleigh,
Thanks so much for your brilliant review—and what a great photo! I’m so glad to hear the pants have been comfy and tough (though I’m sorry you had to test them on gravel so soon!).
They’re clearly doing their job if they came out of that unscathed—hope you did too!
Thanks as well for the note on length. That kind of detail is really helpful for others trying to work out their best fit.
Wishing you smoother rides ahead!
Happy riding,
Jill
Rode in these pants for the first time today and they are great. Super comfortable and true to size around my waist. I did over estimate my height so if I got another pair I would get the short leg.
Hi Alison,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review, and for your lovely photo! I'm glad you found them comfy.
Happy riding

These pants are my new favourite - Ive always ridden in riding tights, because I’ve struggled finding bootlegs that fit. These are perfect fit, super comfortable, and the choice of leg length means I don’t have to chop off 4 inches from the bottom.
Hi Maree,
Thank you! I'm also one of those people who usually either have to chop heaps off the bottom or deal with walking on my pants. So your review has me happy dancing. And thank you So much for sharing your lovley photo.
Happy riding!
Jill
They look and feel great!
Hi Wendy,

Will be buying more soon.
Hi Kim,

I really appreciate your support.

They are so comfortable and I will be buying more in other colours!
Hi Tania,

I really appreciate your support.

Super comfy and fit me well great design and keep me very cool, only complaint is, have only worn them twice and all the grips around the knees have started falling off, for $130 was quite disappointing
Hi Allira,
Thanks for your review, and I'm sorry there was an issue with the silicone on your pair. That's certainly not something we would expect to see.
I'm glad we were able to get a replacement organised for you.
Happy riding,
Jill
Very comfy - and yes, they do what they say - which is to keep you cool. Unfortunately, my first ride out on the trail, the material snagged on bark and brush, leaving small threads pulled. So, for me, not suited to my style of riding - BUT I will continue to purchase the awesome riding jeans 👖
Hi L Walsh,
Thanks so much for your review. I’m really glad to hear they’ve been comfortable.
I do think there may have been a fault with the fabric in your pair, so I’m glad we were able to get another one out to you to try.
I look forward to hearing how you go with those.
Happy riding,
Jill
Amazing and absolutely love them ❤️
Hi Kristie,
Thanks so much for your review!
I’m so glad they’ve been such a hit for you.

Love them, just about to order another pair! Fit exactly per your size guide.
Hi Jayne,
Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m really pleased they’ve worked out so well for you, and it’s great to hear the sizing guide did its job.
I really appreciate your support.

Love all plum tack pants
Hi Julie,
Thanks so much for your lovely review and your ongoing support, it really does mean a lot.
I’m so glad you’re loving your Plum Tack pants.
Happy riding,

Love love love, just brought another pair! Perfect fit & great price
Hi Amanda,
Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m so glad you’re loving them, and even better that you’ve already come back for another pair.
I really appreciate your support.
Happy riding,

Prompt delivery, lovely product. Great quality and fit. Very happy thanks.
Hi Debbie,
Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m really glad everything arrived quickly and that they’ve worked out well for you.
Happy riding,
Jill
I couldn't have been more unhappy with my new purchase. I hadn't realised the fabric was completely synthetic. They were so hot and sweaty to wear they went straight to the op shop. Not suitable for trail riding at all! I literally wasted $120.00
Hi Karen,
Thanks for your review, and I’m sorry to hear they weren’t to your liking.
If something doesn’t feel quite right once you receive it, you’re always welcome to return it for a full refund as long as the tags are still attached. I’m always happy to help with that.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Happy riding,
Jill
These riding pants are excellent. The silicone is perfectly grippy, the cut is fabulous and they don’t ride up, I wore them on the most horrific humid day and still felt comfortable the whole time! Not to mention they are super stylish as well. I love these!!! I can’t wait to buy another pair!
Hi Lara,
Thanks so much for your amazing review. I’m so glad they held up for you even in that kind of humidity and that they’re ticking all the boxes.
I really appreciate your support and look forward to helping with your next pair.
Happy riding,
Jill
I purchased the short leg. Needed longer and exchange was no problem. On their way to me.
Hi Gay,
Thanks so much for your review. I’m really glad the exchange was nice and easy for you.
Hope the new pair was just right when they arrived.
Happy riding,
Jill
So breathable and comfortable! 100/10 recommend. Would love a high waist version but these are very good.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m really glad they’re working so well for you.
A higher rise option is something I’m working on, so keep an eye out for that down the track.
Happy riding,
Jill
Love these riding pants, delivered quickly and communication spot on all the way from placing order to receipt 😊
Hi Kaz,
Thanks so much for your lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear everything arrived as it should and that you’re enjoying them.
I really appreciate the kind words.

Crisp easy smart with give.. quick dry.. great service..
Hi Linda,
Thanks so much for your review. I'm really glad to hear they’re ticking all the boxes for you, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Happy riding,

Great fabric and fit in the legs. Only feedback is they would be great it a little higher in the waist.
Hi C.V,
Thanks so much for your review. I’m really pleased to hear you’re enjoying the fabric and fit. I know waist height is one of those things that comes down to personal preference, and I’m considering adding a higher-rise option alongside the current cut a bit further down the track.
Happy riding,
Jill
Definitely will buy from here again! Great pants just perfect and fantastic service 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hi Carolynne,
Thank you so much for the lovely review. I'm really glad the pants were a great fit and that the whole process was a good experience for you. I really appreciate the kind words.
