Knee Patch breeches are the most common type of riding breech. These breeches have suede, suede-like, or leather padding at the inner knee part of the breech to provide protection and grip while riding and are usually front zipped. These breeches are very popular in the jumper and hunter/jumper world and can also be used for schooling. Knee patch breeches keep evolving over time but never go out of style.
