A little small so I’m returning for exchange for the next size up but they are snug in the right places given I have the mid life belly and very nice quality.
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!
I saw the ad for high waisted ones so ordered them but found they were exactly same design as the normal ones, just with 1cm wider waist band. I expected the yoke and crotch to be longer as they are billed as a different design. No matter, the usual ones are quite high anyway. Seem comfortable.
I have a few pairs of the bootleg riding jeans and they’re awesome. Not only do they fit perfectly, they’re hardwearing, stylish and comfortable. The side pockets fit my phone perfectly, keeps it out of the way when I’m riding but still easily accessible. The jeans last a very long time (I’ve had one pair for years and its still in perfect condition even with regular riding). Love!
My first attempt at trying this style (I normally just wear jeans). Incredibly comfortable and have ordered a second pair.
I tried a different brand at the same time and sent them back due to very unflattering fit - I’m converted!!!
Super comfortable. Lovely and long which is great for a more vertically enhanced person.
Winter riding tights in Black. With or Without Silicone Seat Grip
Great fit, colour, & style.
Thank you for sending them so quickly, unfortunately missed a clinic to be able to show them off , before they hit the hard work of day to day riding. I always wear boot cut never with sticky bum so interesting to feel. I also mostly have with a stirrup to hold them in place on the leg ,these don't have and they stayed in place which is a plus. I loved them. Thank you 😊
Comfortable, wash & wear well, but after 2 kids I need more stomach support & coverage! I often overlook these in the wardrobe because I choose my higher-waisted breeches or jeans. If these had a higher waist I'd have multiple pairs & never take them off 😂
I chose the shorter leg as I'm 5'2, I think I'll get the regular length next time as they look a bit short once my leg is bent & foot is in the stirrup. I'm a size 14 in most brands, bought a size 14 in these. I'd say they're more of a 12-14, than a straight 14, but I wouldn't size up if I buy again.
Will keep my eyes on these in case the higher waist ever becomes available.
Hi Ally,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review—and the fantastic photo! It’s always lovely to see the jeans in action, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share both your feedback and the image.
I totally hear you on the higher waist (post-kids or not!). And—you’ll be glad to know—a higher-waisted version is coming very soon! The style is ready; we’re just getting the last bits together for the website.
Keep an eye out, or feel free to message me directly if you'd like a heads-up when they’re live.
Thanks again for all your insights—super helpful.
Happy riding,

Great fit & not see through

I looked for ages and these are GREAT. Best I’ve found, nice heavier weight and fit. Thanks for a great product

I can't review as I haven't received them yet.
Hi Julie,
Thanks for your note—I saw your review come through just before the tracking showed the jeans were delivered (glad Australia Post came through in the end!).
I hope they arrived safely and that you’ve had a chance to try them out by now. If you have any questions or feedback, I’m always happy to help.
Happy riding,
Jill
Most comfortable and handy riding jeans with those great pockets. Very fast delivery and super friendly customer service.
Hi Danielle,
Thanks so much for your lovely review! I’m thrilled to hear the jeans are comfy and practical—and yes, good pockets really do make all the difference!
And thank you, it was absolutly my pleasure.

Took my cool Mac boot leg pants with no silicone for a spin at our club working eq comp today. They totally lived up to their name and have washed up well as well. Great product. Highly recommend.
Hi Kate,
Thanks so much for your fantastic review—I’m so glad to hear the Cool Max pants lived up to their name on comp day!
Even better to know they washed up well afterwards too. Really appreciate the recommendation!

I wanted boot cut riding pants with a silicone seat & Australia seems to be the only place to get them! They run small. I ordered 2 sizes bigger than what I wear with United States 🇺🇸 sizes. I’m bummed that my husband ran them in the dryer, so now they have shrunk a bit. I will definitely order again!
Hi Connie,
Thanks so much for your great review—I’m so glad you found exactly what you were looking for (even if it meant coming all the way to Australia to get them!).
Sorry to hear about the dryer incident—definitely not ideal, but I’m really glad to hear you’ll be ordering again!
If you ever want sizing help before your next pair, just let me know.
Happy riding,

After an initial mix up , my correct pants arrived awesome fit true to size loved the fact u can order leg length so it’s the first pair of pants I didn’t have to hem up . Can wait to ride in them
Hi Sharon,
Thanks so much for your lovely review—and for your patience with the initial mix-up! I’m really glad we got the right pair to you in the end, and even happier to hear they’re a perfect fit straight out of the parcel (no hemming = small victory!).
Happy riding,
Jill
I had to take these off after a few minutes as they were too hot and sticky against my skin.
Hi Kellie,
I’m really sorry to hear the denim jodhpurs didn’t work out for you—that’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have.
They’re made with a high cotton content for breathability and comfort, but I totally understand that every body reacts differently to different fabrics.
Thanks for giving them a try and taking the time to leave a review.
Happy riding,
Jill
Love them, great fit and very comfortable to wear.
Hi Sue,
Thanks so much! I’m really glad to hear they’re such a great fit and keeping you comfy—that’s exactly what we love to hear.
Happy riding,

I now have both the silicone and non silicone option in these pants. I love them both. The silicone option is super sticky which I love for my English gear and the non silicone for my western gear. They a super comfortable, great stretch, wear very well and are somewhat customisable with the different leg lengths. Great product. I will be ordering more.
Hi Carolyn,
Thank you so much for this brilliant review—I love how you’re using both silicone and non-silicone options for different gear setups! That’s exactly the kind of versatility we were hoping for.
I’m really glad to hear the fit, comfort, and stretch are all working well for you too.
Happy riding,
Jill
