The Riding Jumpsuit
Do you enjoy cosplay? Or dressing up as a superhero in your every day life?Boy, do I have the right thing for you!Equestrians on social media have been puzzling over the latest clothing launch from Maximilian Equestrian: a one piece riding suit. The shirt and the pants are one. They have been joined. It looks exactly like a catsuit from a superhero movie, plus some grips on the leg.Photo by PeopleByOwen: With the direction riding clothes have been going, its actually not surprising that they decided to launch this. A lot of riding clothes coming out today are clingy, skin tight, workout-inspired items. It wasnt too far of a stretch to throw in a jumpsuit, which some women work out in.I dont wear them at all, by the way, I want to make that very clear. I think jumpsuits are weird and uncomfortable, and bring up the age old question: How do you pee?I once saw a video mocking that question, where the creator pulls off the jumpsuit from the top to demonstrate, as though the rest of us are dumb for realizing it. Maybe we just phrased the question wrong the real question/problem is that we dont want to strip naked and have our clothes dragging on the floor while we pee (or having to navigate awkwardly holding up the clothing). Is that clear enough?Other issues riding makes us sweaty. I feel like trying to pull a jumpsuit on and off while we are damp is something like trying to put on a wet swimsuit. Likely worse, because a swimsuit is like a scrap of fabric. This jumpsuit has an entire long sleeve shirt. Its going to be like putting panty hose on your arms.Then theres sizing its already hard to get clothes that fit just right, and now youre dealing with something that may or may not fit the different parts of your body. It might end up too tight on your shoulders, but everywhere else is loose. It might pull on your crotch because youre taller than it intended. Theres just a lot that could go wrong with the sizing.ALSO, I dont know if Im the only one who does this, but I find I can usually wear breeches more than once. Shirts, however, get really nasty and gross so I change them immediately. So having them connected is going to make it so I have to wash it every single time. That is not practical at all.Photo by Antonio Friedemann: The jumpsuit just launched, but its too soon to see if people are buying it. I foresee some influencers wearing these for the novelty of it, or just to do a photoshoot in, but I dont see the reach going much further than that. I just dont understand who they are making this for. Maybe it was just a marketing ploy to bring attention to their other products. In a sense, it worked, because I went and looked. I saw their clothing is out of the range that I like to spend on my clothes, so I wont be buying any. The riding jumpsuit is $279. And it comes in white. I cant imagine wearing an completely white outfit to the barn. It makes me think people who do more than just show up to a completely tacked up horse and ride probably arent going to want it.I once heard youll get way more uses out of something plain, because youll wear it more. The unique pieces end up being shoved to the back of your closet, because you either want to save it for special occasions, or you just dont people to notice you wearing the same thing a lot. This piece is very unique, so how many uses would you get out of it?Would you wear a jumpsuit to ride in?The post The Riding Jumpsuit appeared first on An Equestrian Life.
