Features To Look For In Pikeur Breeches

By Sally Delacruz


There are many different types of riding breeches and so it is important to understand some qualities of a good pair before buying. Pikeur breeches are available from many different sources, including online stores. This brand has a reputation for its designs and its association with many top equestrians over the years has kept it on its toes.

When buying breeches, it is important to know what fabric they are made from. The synthetic fibers available today are invaluable in creating many blends which increase there versatility. A cotton microfiber blend, for example, offers great elasticity and support as well as being comfortable at the same time. A fabric should be able to keep its shape and be easy to wash and dry.

Another quality of fabrics today, like microfibers and some cottons, is their ability to breathe. A lightweight, breathable material will allow dampness or chafing. This is particularly important when taking part in activities like riding where perspiring is inevitable. Instead of the perspiration collecting inside the garment, it is able to escape to the outside, leaving the wearer dry at all times.

Another important factor to consider is fit. If purchasing from an online store, this can be a difficult decision which is why size charts are often available and waist sizes as well as inseam measurements are given. The decision on size is crucial as either choosing a size that is too big or too small can seriously affect comfort.

There are many different styles and colors available. Some styles are low rise, resting on the hips and others are regular fit, resting on the waist. A mid rise cut is probably most popular and flatters most figures, from curvy to boyish. One can choose from colors such as chocolate, smoke blue, beige, charcoal and mocha.

An innovative feature on the latest products is a coating made of polyurethane. This is added to the seat and knee areas to help the rider grip decently on the saddle. Zippers on these products are also constantly being modified. They have to be hard wearing as well as being as practical as possible. Front zippers and zippers on front pockets are practical features.

Cost is often a factor when purchasing such products. Buying the best quality one can afford is always the right decision. If an item is designed well, made from hard wearing fabrics and constructed well, there is no reason it should not last for many years. A badly made item using cheap fabric will soon lose its shape and wear out.

These garments should be comfortable and durable to enhance the experience of the rider. They should also be stylish enough to make riders feel they are looking their best. Individuals involved in the equestrian world give themselves the best opportunity to enjoy their sport when their clothing ticks all of these boxes. There are so many styles, colors, types and sizes available and shopping online offers a convenient way to compare these. Reading online reviews is also helpful when trying to make a decision.
