riding tights are just like cotton or some lyrica metarial that are usually lightweight and some wick away sweat, i don't really like them because they slip easily in the saddle and sometimes they are so thin the insides of your legs get rubbed http://www.smartpakequine.com/images/product/AriatPowerstretchSet_0706.jpg
riding breeches are thicker and more duable made from many materials some are made for the hot summer weather while others are thicker and can keep you a little warmer

i like the 2 tone color ones and usually the inside (the black color part) is of a leathery material and you can "stick' better to the saddle
i LOVE the full seat breeches with the leather lining
i find i get a better butt grip in the saddle lol these are my all time favorate http://www.equestriancollections.com/mmEQC/Images/brands/496/2_ladies.jpg amazing and made perfect for women, or females lol
EDIT**** as for brands?? i don't really care what brand it is as long at it fits good, you don't want them to have lots of wrinkles but not so tight you can see every bulge and things lol i but mostly i have ariat http://www.ariat.com/products_subcategory.aspx?pcid=8&cid=5
i also buy alot of my clothes from online shopping better deals i thnk hehe so lots of random brands
oh and i like the low rise pants better than the high rise i feel weird with pants tight around my belly button

By riding tights I guess you mean jodhpurs? Anyhoo, get some thicker ones for winter, or wear a pair of tights underneath (like, ladies tights that you can get from Tesco). This makes the world of difference. Breeches are usually worn under long boots or half chaps with long socks. Also, I'd get a pair of full chaps for winter; no good for competing but great for the yard! ADD: What does being 16 have to do with wearing jodhpurs? :-S Anyway! A few suggestions: Get some thicker 'riding tights' (I've never heard of them, I'm in UK maybe we don't have them!) Wear tights (ladies tights) under your existing riding tights Buy thick breeches (mid calf, knee patch) Buy thick jodhpurs (down to ankle, knee patch) Buy some full chaps! Hope I helped :-) Feel free to email me if you need to clarify anything :-) xx

I like tights for light riding especially in the summer. They are also the least expensive and very comfortable. I also like breeches. The full seat breeches give you lots of grip in the saddle but I think they are uncomfortable and don't allow free movement

Fullseat breeches. they give you the most "sticky/staying/no wiggling to the saddleness". My favorite brand? I like Ariat(I think thats it) a lot, but for winter breeches I like "TuffRider" and Irideon is also good. lots of different price ranges tho! I only like Ariat if someone else buys it :D. But TuffRider and Irideon are both fairly reasonable priced
