Felix Bühler Maternity Riding Tights Isi
Have you been trying for a baby and finally holding a positive pregnancy test in your hand? As a rider, alongside an indescribable feeling of joy, the big question suddenly arises: Can I continue riding whilst pregnant, and if so, for how long? In our guide to riding during pregnancy, we’ve already provided you with the information you need to make this decision.
If you want to continue with your hobby as usual during pregnancy, your well-being should be your top priority. The most obvious physical change is your growing bump. On the one hand, it can significantly affect your mobility as your pregnancy progresses. On the other hand, it means you’ll need to get creative with what you wear.
Maternity riding wear – from early pregnancy to birth
As soon as your regular clothes start to feel uncomfortable due to your growing bump, maternity wear can be a real game changer. Although you can create a few extra centimetres of room around your bump with hacks such as attaching a hair tie to the button fastening of your trousers, most women will need to switch to special maternity wear that ’accommodates‘ the bump by the sixth month at the latest.
Whereas the choice used to be rather limited, nowadays there is suitable clothing for pregnant women for every occasion, including equestrian sports. Our Felix Bühler Maternity Riding Tights Isi provide optimal support for your baby bump, allowing you to enjoy your time in the saddle for as long as you like.
Now you can enjoy spending time at the yard in winter, too, thanks to the Felix Bühler Grip Winter Maternity Riding Tights Elisabeth.

Felix Bühler Maternity Riding Tights Isi – all the details at a glance
When designing our maternity breeches, it was important to us that they could accompany you throughout your entire pregnancy. Maximum stretch and a wide, adjustable maternity waistband that grows with you, providing good support for your baby bump without any annoying seams or buttons, are essential for feeling comfortable in the saddle even as your bump grows.
The Maternity Riding Tights Isi have a classic, close-fitting cut, are easy to put on and take off, and fit like a second skin. As with all sports tights, breathability is a must. Since pregnancy is a temporary condition and you usually don’t want to buy too many maternity clothes, our riding tights are quick-drying, so they’re ready to wear again soon after washing.
The practical mobile phone pockets and the full silicone seat with an elegant bit design complete the sporty look. Thanks to their familiar appearance, they can still be combined with our outerwear to create coordinated outfits.
Our top tip: Keep wearing your maternity breeches after giving birth!
Your body still needs time to recover after childbirth. In particular, your stomach may still be very sensitive in the first few months due to a lack of muscle tone in your abdomen. Even if you gave birth by caesarean section, a traditional buttoned waistband can feel uncomfortable. Many mums therefore swear by maternity wear even after giving birth – clothing that doesn’t dig in and provides gentle support as your body changes. So investing in maternity riding tights is worth it, even after pregnancy!
What should I wear on top as a pregnant rider?
Tops with a high stretch content are comfortable to wear even when you’re showing. Thanks to the wide waistband on the breeches, it’s not really noticeable if the top sits a little higher due to your bump. On the contrary: a crop top paired with maternity leggings is currently the trendiest outfit for pregnant women, even in other sports. Our functional tops – whether long-sleeved or short-sleeved – are ideal for pairing with the Maternity Riding Tights Isi. They are breathable and prevent you from breaking a sweat, even during strenuous exercise or pregnancy-related hot flushes. As your breasts start preparing for milk production from the 16th week of pregnancy onwards, causing them to grow larger and potentially feel tight, you should ensure you wear a well-fitting and supportive sports bra and keep checking the fit throughout your pregnancy.
