Full details

The Rhinegold Pro Stretch Breeches are designed for adult equestrians seeking ultimate comfort and flexibility during riding.

They are suitable for various riding disciplines.

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competitive riding?

Yes, the Rhinegold Pro Stretch Breeches are suitable for many competitive disciplines due to their comfortable fit, secure silicone seat, and traditional styling. However, for very high-level or specialized disciplines, riders may opt for breeches with more advanced technical features.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Rhinegold sizing chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and hip circumference and compare it to the chart. These breeches have a wide stretch waistband, so consider your comfort preference.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

Yes, the breathable and lightweight material is designed to help keep you cool and dry, making them suitable for riding in warm conditions.

How durable is the silicone seat?

The silicone seat is designed for durability and to provide consistent grip. To maintain its effectiveness, it's important to follow the care instructions, especially regarding washing without fabric softeners.

What is the main difference between these and riding tights?

These breeches offer a hybrid style. They provide the comfort and stretch similar to riding tights but are constructed with more structure and traditional styling, including features like belt loops and a more substantial waistband, for added support.

Are the rear pockets functional?

The rear pockets on these breeches are faux pockets, designed for aesthetic purposes to provide a traditional breeches look. They are not functional for storage.

What material are the breeches made of?

The breeches are made from a super soft stretch fabric, primarily polyester, with Lycra panels at the ankle for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider the next size up for more room, or consult the brand's sizing chart. The stretch fabric should offer flexibility, so excessive tightness may indicate an incorrect size.

Silicone seat losing grip.

Ensure the seat area is clean and free from dirt, oil, or residue. Wash the breeches according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the silicone's adhesion.

Zipper on hip pocket is stiff or stuck.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, which could cause damage.

Waistband feels loose or slips down.

Ensure the double clip closure is securely fastened. If the waistband consistently slips, the size might be too large, or the elastic may be losing its tension over time. Consider a different size or ensure the clips are fully engaged.

Lycra ankle panel feels uncomfortable or bunches.

Ensure the panel is pulled up smoothly over your ankle and calf before putting on your boots. If discomfort persists, check that your socks and boots are fitting correctly and not causing excess pressure on the panel.

  • Enhanced stability and grip with the silicone seat.
  • Breathable fabric for comfort during long rides.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Versatile design for various riding disciplines.

Cons

  • Sizing may need careful consideration for a perfect fit.

  • Lycra ankle panels could be a point of wear over extended periods.
  • The hybrid style might not suit riders seeking a very traditional, non-stretch feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Rhinegold Pro Stretch Breeches require no specific setup. Simply try them on to ensure a proper fit. Ensure the double clip closure on the wide waistband is secured comfortably.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Designed to be worn with standard riding boots. The Lycra panel at the ankle is intended to fit smoothly inside your boots.
  • Riding Disciplines: Suitable for dressage, show jumping, eventing, general riding, and training.
  • Undergarments: Recommend seamless or thin undergarments to maintain a smooth profile.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30°C (86°F). Wash with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and silicone grip.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not dry clean.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric is designed to resist wrinkles.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check stitching and silicone seat for any signs of wear and tear.
