Women's Riding Breeches: Classic Elegance and Optimal Grip in the Saddle
The classic women's riding breech is the centerpiece of an equestrian's wardrobe. It reliably protects the legs from friction against the saddle flap and ensures a quiet, secure seat through special seat materials. Traditional elements such as zippers, buttons, and belt loops not only give it an elegant look but also allow it to be combined with a riding belt for the perfect fit.
Full Seat, Knee Patch, and Silicone Grip
When choosing the seat, various options are available. A full seat extends from the buttocks down to the calves and offers maximum grip in the saddle, which is particularly appreciated in dressage. A knee patch primarily supports knee contact and provides more flexibility in the hips for show jumping or light seat riding. Silicone grip has become the standard material: it is extremely slip-resistant and offers a strong hold without stiffening the fabric of the breeches.
Materials for Every Season
Modern riding breeches are made from highly elastic fabrics (often 4-way stretch) that guarantee maximum freedom of movement during stable work and while riding. For the cold season, there are lined winter breeches made of wind- and water-repellent softshell material. In summer, on the other hand, particularly thin, breathable cotton and microfiber blends are used, which support a pleasant body climate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you wash riding breeches with silicone grip?
The breeches should be turned inside out and washed on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 °C (86 °F). Fabric softener must not be used, as it can damage the structure of the silicone and eliminate its slip resistance. Tumble drying should also be avoided.
What is the advantage of high-waist riding breeches?
High-waist riding breeches enclose the waist and lower back. They offer a particularly secure fit, do not slip down while riding, and keep the kidney area comfortably warm on cool days.
Which breeches are suitable for long legs?
Many manufacturers offer classic breeches in so-called long sizes. In these models, the leg length and the knee patch are proportionally adapted to longer legs, so that the hem does not sit uncomfortably high above the ankle.
