LeMieux Ella Winter Breggings Children

Black and Navy come in all four sizes: 122-128 (age 7-8), 134-140 (age 9-10), 146-152 (age 11-12) and 158-164 (age 13-14). Alpine comes in 122-128, 134-140 and 158-164, but not in 146-152. Choose the size based on your child, not just their age: measure, compare with the LeMieux size chart and ask the shop for advice if you are between two sizes.

Care: for its grip breggings, LeMieux asks for a wash at 30°C, separately and inside out, with a mild detergent and no fabric softener. No bleach, no tumble dryer, no iron and no dry cleaning. Let them dry naturally. The care label inside remains the reference.

The Ella Winter is for the cold half of the year: outdoor arenas in winter, early lessons, a long Saturday at the yard. On mild days or in a warm indoor arena, lined breeches can be too warm. The unlined LeMieux Ella Bregging is then a better fit, and in summer the LeMieux Lizzie Mesh Legging with mesh and knee grip.

If your child is looking for classic riding breeches with a real fastening rather than a pull-on style, the LeMieux Izzy riding breeches are the alternative within the same brand.

Your child pulls the Ella Winter up by the elasticated waistband, with no button or zip, which is handy with cold fingers. The fleece lining is made for cold days; in a warm indoor arena they may be too warm. The two deep side pockets hold gloves, for example.

Which size should I choose?
Sizes run from 122-128 (age 7-8) to 158-164 (age 13-14). Alpine does not come in 146-152. Measure your child and compare with the LeMieux size chart. If in doubt, get in touch with the shop.

How warm are the Ella Winter?
They have a fleece lining on the inside and are made for cold days. In a warm indoor arena they can be too warm; there, the unlined Ella Bregging is a better choice.

What is the difference between breggings and riding breeches?
Riding breeches fasten with a zip and a button. Breggings have no fastening: you pull them up by the elasticated waistband, but they have the look of riding breeches.

What does full grip mean on these breggings?
That the silicone runs across the seat and the inside of the legs, and not only on the inside of the knee as with knee grip.

How do I wash these breggings?
At 30°C, separately and inside out, with a mild detergent and no fabric softener. Let them dry naturally; do not tumble dry and do not iron. Follow the care label.

Which colour should I choose: Black, Navy or Alpine?
That is mostly a matter of taste. Black and Navy are dark and discreet at the yard, Alpine adds more colour. All three are schooling colours.

Do the Ella Winter have pockets?
Yes, two deep side pockets, for gloves for example.
