Product Information

Full details

The Rhinegold Pro Stretch Breeches are designed for adult female equestrians seeking exceptional comfort, flexibility, and performance during riding. The key benefit is their super soft stretch fabric offering unrestricted movement, similar to riding tights but with added structure. A potential caveat is that while they offer more structure than tights, some advanced riders might prefer even more traditional, stiffer breeches for specific disciplines.

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for hot weather riding?

Yes, the fabric is breathable and lightweight, designed to help keep you cool and dry during intense riding sessions or warm weather.

How do I find the right size?

How durable is the silicone seat?

Do the front pockets zip closed?

Yes, the two large hip pockets feature a zip fastening for secure storage of small items like keys or a phone.

Troubleshooting

Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The wide waistband and stretch fabric should provide a comfortable, flexible fit. Check the Lycra ankle panel is not causing discomfort.

Silicone seat losing grip.

Ensure breeches are clean and free from oils or residues. Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as this can affect the silicone's effectiveness. Follow the recommended care instructions.

Waistband feels loose or doesn't stay up.

Adjust the double clip closure for a secure fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate, as the wide waistband is designed for support.

Pilling or wear on the fabric after minimal use.

Check for excessive friction with equipment or surfaces. Ensure correct washing and drying procedures are followed to maintain fabric integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These breeches are designed for immediate use and require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are the correct size and worn properly. The wide waistband with double clip closure allows for a customizable fit.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Designed to be worn with riding boots. The Lycra panel at the ankle ensures a comfortable fit inside boots, reducing friction and bunching.

  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric is not designed to be ironed.
  • Material Care: Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and stitching.
