Jogging and women's sports trousers
The women's jogging trousers are alongside all sports bottoms: soft or waterproof hiking trousers, grip riding trousers, training trousers, and tracksuit bottoms. Each is designed for a specific activity, from running to riding.
A pair of riding trousers can be recognized by its non-slip inserts at the knees or on the seat.
Which sports trousers to choose?
The jogging trousers, made from fleece or technical fabric, are perfect for warm-ups, gentle runs and cooldowns. The hiking trousers, which are more durable, dry quickly and protect from branches. The riding trousers, fitted, keep you secure in the saddle. The training trousers, lightweight, are worn during the warm-up and at the stadium.
Riding trousers: full grip or mid grip?
The grip refers to the silicone inserts that enhance your grip in the saddle. In full grip, they cover the entire area in contact with the saddle for maximum support. In mid grip, they are limited to part of the leg for more freedom. The competition trousers, which are more dressy, are worn during competitions.
A pair of trousers for hiking
The hiking trousers are designed to be flexible, lightweight and abrasion-resistant. An waterproof version, worn over the top, protects from downpours in the mountains. The zipped pockets keep your phone and keys secure while walking.
Jogging or leggings for running?
Leggings, close-fitting, don't rub or float: they remain the choice for female runners. The jogging trousers, which are roomier, are worn for warm-ups, recovery, or for a slow run in cold weather. The models with tapered cuffs do not catch on the ankles.
What brands of sports trousers are there?
Among the brands available: Pénélope for riding and competition trousers, Helly Hansen and Patagonia for hiking trousers, Athlecia for jogging trousers, Puma for club training trousers, often in kids' sizes, as well as Didriksons and Under Armour.
How to choose your size?
Riding trousers should be tailored, without creases behind the knees, which could chafe in the saddle. Hiking trousers must allow for leg movement without pulling. For jogging trousers, the elasticated waist and drawstring can compensate for a slight difference in size.
How to care for sports trousers?
Wash them inside out at 30 °C, without fabric softener. For riding trousers, close the zips and avoid the tumble dryer, which damages the silicone in the grip. A waterproof trouser regains its water-repellent properties with a dedicated treatment.
