Power Stretch Knee Patch Pocket Tights
My 2nd pair of these. So comfortable and don't slip down after wearing for a while
Sit Tight Wind Pro Knee Patch Tights
Once the temps drop into the 40s I am wearing these every day to the barn! … They block the wind, fit comfortably, have a practical cell phone pocket, dirt and hay don't stick to them, and they don't creep down.
Affinity Pro Knee Patch Breeches
These breeches are a new favorite of mine! Extremely flattering and comfortable all day, with a clean look that I can show in. I'll be buying these in both colors: black for teaching at home and tan to show in!
I have longer legs and these are a bit longer than some of Kerrits tights and I love that! The fabric is great and work really well. Will be buying them again

Kerrits sorts its knee patch styles by weight and by the job you give them. Crossover II is Kerrits' lightest weight woven breech, Performance and Coolcore are the warm-weather tights, and Affinity Pro is the breech built for the show ring. Power Stretch, Fleece Lite II and Sit Tight Wind Pro add warmth for cold barns.
Breeches are cut like a traditional riding breech. Tights are knit and stretch four ways, and many have pockets. Full-leg tights such as Fusion and Coolcore Full Leg carry the patch down the leg, and bootcut styles are cut to wear over a paddock boot.
| Line | Best for | Weight | Knee patch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affinity Pro | Showing and schooling | All-season breech | Silicone |
| Crossover II | Everyday riding | Lightest woven breech | GripSoft |
| Coolcore and Free Motion | Warm weather | Light | Silicone |
| Performance Pocket Tights | Hot days | Lightest summer weight | StretchLite suede |
| Power Stretch | Cool weather, all-day wear | Mid-weight, winter-rated | Silicone |
| Fleece Lite II | Light winter riding | Fleece-backed | GripSoft |

Riders do not all agree. One wrote that the Sit Tight Wind Pro bootcut tights ran a little small compared with the Kerrits size she usually wears, and another found the knee patch version true to size.

Sit Tight Wind Pro Knee Patch Bootcut Tights
Runs a little small. I wear a medium in other kerrits and they fit great. These, however, were super snug.
Sit Tight Wind Pro Knee Patch Tights
They do a good job of staying in place. True to size, in my opinion.
For cold weather, start with Fleece Lite II, Power Stretch or Sit Tight Wind Pro. Kerrits calls Fleece Lite II its lightest winter tight, and describes Sit Tight Wind Pro as its warmest winter riding tight. 3-Season Tailored is a breech made for the winter months.
For heat, look at Coolcore, Free Motion Coolcore, Crossover II and the Performance Knee Patch Pocket Tights. Kerrits describes the Performance tights as its lightest summer weight.
| Weather | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cold and windy | Sit Tight Wind Pro | Kerrits' warmest winter riding tights |
| Cold, riding indoors | Fleece Lite II | A light, fleece-backed winter tight |
| Cool to cold | Power Stretch or 3-Season Tailored | Winter-rated, with silicone knee patches |
| Hot | Performance Pocket Tights or Coolcore | The lightest weights Kerrits makes in this category |
Fleece Lite II Knee Patch Tights
Exactly what I needed! Winter riding tights are too much for most days here in Georgia. … These are perfect until the temperature approaches the high 30's.
Performance Knee Patch Pocket Tights
These are the lightest weight tights my daughter and I own and she wears hers all summer. She wanted cool tights that have belt loops and pockets, and these fit the bill.
Kerrits makes most of its knee patch lines in kids' sizes, XS to XL: Affinity Pro and Crossover II breeches, Coolcore jods and bootcuts, Fleece Lite II and Sit Tight Wind Pro for winter, and Microcord, Stretch Denim and Power Stretch tights. Kerrits describes the Kids' Microcord Knee Patch Tights as built for the show ring and for daily use.
Two details help with growing riders. The Kids' Fleece Lite II tights have a drawcord waist that Kerrits says allows for layering and growing, and the Sprout Starter Tights 2.0 have gripper elastic at the ankle.

The knee patch is the point of the pant, and Kerrits uses four kinds. Silicone, which Kerrits calls Kerrit Sticks, is on Affinity Pro, Power Stretch, the Coolcore lines and K-Flex. GripSoft, which Kerrits says gives a leather-like grip, is on Crossover II, Fleece Lite II and Stretch Denim breeches. GripStretch Suede is on Sit Tight Wind Pro and Microcord, and StretchLite suede is on the Performance Knee Patch Pocket Tights.
Full-leg styles such as Fusion, Coolcore Full Leg and Solutions use an extended silicone patch that runs down the inside of the leg. If you ride in a saddle that grips on its own, the patch is a matter of feel, so try the type you like on a style you already know fits.
Kerrits knee patch breeches and tights are made for women and kids. Women's sizes run from XXXS to 2X, and kids' sizes run from XS to XL. The range covers everyday barn wear, schooling, showing, and weights for hot and cold weather.
