Points To Consider When Buying 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.

The fabric used for such a garment is extremely important. Fortunately, the types of fabrics available are much more advanced than those used in the past. They not only offer excellent support but are elastic enough to offer full freedom of movement at the same time. A cotton and micro-fiber blend is a popular option. Such a fabric is not only light and comfortable but retains its shape, washes well and dries quickly.

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.

The perfect pair of breeches in a modern, stylish design should fit superbly and flatter the figure. The garment should also be comfortable, practical and hard wearing at the same time. Fortunately, there are such items available for purchase and many of them can be viewed at websites of suppliers. This offers an opportunity to compare a wide variety of different styles before making a selection. It is also possible to read many customer reviews to help form some idea of the reputation of a particular brand.
