Product Information

Full details

The Rhinegold Pro Stretch Breeches are designed for adult equestrians seeking comfort, flexibility, and performance during riding. Their key benefit is the exceptional stretch material that allows for unrestricted movement, keeping riders cool and dry. A potential caveat is that their hybrid style may offer less traditional structure than some riders prefer. These breeches combine the comfort of riding tights with the support of traditional breeches, featuring a silicone non-slip seat, durable construction, and practical pockets.

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competitions?

Yes, their hybrid style, comfortable fit, and non-slip seat make them suitable for many types of competition, especially where comfort and freedom of movement are prioritized. Check specific competition rules if in doubt about attire.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the Rhinegold sizing chart for precise measurements. The breeches feature a wide waistband and stretch fabric, but accurate waist and inseam measurements are key for the best fit.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

Yes, the breathable and lightweight material is designed to help keep you cool and dry, making them a good option for warmer riding conditions.

What is the primary difference between these and riding tights?

These breeches offer more structure and traditional styling than typical riding tights, while still providing excellent stretch and comfort. They also feature practical details like zip pockets and reinforced construction.

How should I wash and care for the silicone seat?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Fabric softeners can degrade the silicone's grip.

Do the faux rear pockets offer any function?

No, the two pockets at the rear are purely for aesthetic purposes to maintain a traditional breeches look and do not have any functional use.

What kind of riding are these breeches best suited for?

They are versatile and suitable for a wide range of equestrian activities, including training, schooling, trail riding, and competition in disciplines like dressage and show jumping.

Troubleshooting

Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide provided by the manufacturer. The stretch fabric should offer flexibility, but an incorrect size can still cause discomfort.

Reduced grip from the silicone seat after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the silicone's adhesive properties. Wash according to care instructions and ensure the breeches are fully dry before use.

Zippers on hip pockets are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently work the zipper up and down a few times. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Material feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog fabric pores. Make sure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath, if necessary.
