Hardy Etc Riding Leggings Review

Last month as it was hitting my birthday time, everyone was asking me what I would like. I hate saying to people what I want as I always find it to be too expensive and would rather them think of something to save me feeling guilty for asking for something. As my mum kept moidering me asking what I would like, I thought that I'd always wanted to try out a pair of riding leggings to see if the hype is worth it or just to try out running leggings. 
I then did a bit of Google searching for some riding leggings that aren't full seat. I never thought it was going to be as hard as it was to find leggings that only had grippy knees and not a full seat. 
I then came across these Hardy Etc riding leggings and bought them to try them out.

They are made from super stretchy fabric that allows complete freedom in the saddle with a silicone knee added for extra grip in the saddle.
These leggings also come with the feature of a side pocket on the thigh, great for your phone. The first time I wore these leggings was just around the house to see how comfortable they were, I kept my phone in the side pocket and it was so fitting there I went into my jacket pockets a couple of times and thought my phone was missing. 








The phone side pocket is such a great feature as it makes your phone easily accessible while your around the house, doing yard work and riding. It's in a great position so your phone doesn't dig into you when you're riding either. There is plenty of length and width to fit a variance of different phones in there. The phone I have is the Sony xperia XA1 and there is plenty of space in there.  








These leggings are super comfortable to ride in, they are great on ther waist so they're not digging in like I find some of my breeches do. They let you feel free and ride with the movement without feeling restricted. 

There was only one downside to these leggings and it's the area on the leg to where the silicone has been added. As when I had my boots on only the top two strips of silicone were on show. Although these leggings are super comfortable and they help offer some great sticky on my seat saver with the material on the gel seat. I would wear these leggings even if they came without the gel stickys. 
You can find these leggings and others available in white, blue and burgundy over on the Hardy Etc website here. They're priced up at £25 which is a great bargain as all the other leggings I've seen with any grip added have been £40+.

*I received these leggings half price in exchange for an honest review*
