Equestro Men's Aria Slim Fit Full Grip Riding Breeches

The Equestro Aria is a slim fit pair of men's riding breeches with a full silicone seat (Full Grip). It is made from a bi-elastic, breathable technical fabric and has a lycra insert at the ankles. Intended for riders who want stability in the saddle without giving up freedom of movement, in training as well as at competitions.

About these breeches

The Aria is Equestro's slim fit men's riding breeches with a full silicone seat. On a Full Grip, the silicone runs across the entire seat and the inside of the legs. That gives contact with the saddle over a far larger surface than a version with knee patches only: you sit more firmly, you shift less and you have to correct less with your leg. You notice that difference above all when you work for a long time in the same seat.

The fabric is bi-elastic and breathable. Bi-elastic means the material stretches in two directions, so the breeches give when your hip and knee form angles in the saddle, and then return to shape. The slim fit cut follows the line of the leg without excess fabric, which helps avoid folds under your boot.

At the front there are two accessible slash pockets for small items. A graphic Equestro element sits on the rear belt loop and along the right thigh, which gives the breeches their sporty look.

At the bottom of the leg, a lycra insert provides a close finish around the ankle. That insert keeps the fabric flat, so your breeches do not ride up inside your riding boot or under your chaps. That is not only more comfortable, it also keeps the line of your leg clean in the arena.

Key benefits

• The full silicone seat gives plenty of purchase in the saddle
• Bi-elastic fabric moves with you and returns to shape
• Breathable material, also during intensive work
• Slim fit cut without excess fabric under the boot
• Lycra insert at the ankles keeps the lower leg flat
• Slash pockets at the front for small essentials
• Sporty finish with graphic Equestro details

Practical advice

Sizes follow European men's sizing: XS is men's 44, M is men's 48 and L is men's 50. A slim fit sits close to the body, so if you are between two sizes and like a little more room, take the larger size.

Wear the breeches inside your riding boot or under chaps, so the lycra insert stays flat around the ankle. The source information gives no washing instruction, so follow the care label inside the breeches. For every pair of riding breeches with silicone the same applies: do not use fabric softener, as it settles over the silicone and reduces the grip.

When to choose these breeches

This Aria is intended for the rider who wants a clean, sporty pair of breeches with plenty of grip. A full silicone seat is the classic choice when you work a lot in the seat and find stability more important than a loose, freely moving seat. It can be used for training and competition; in white you have a competition colour straight away.

If you do want to be able to move freely in the saddle, for instance because you ride a lot in light seat, a model with silicone knee patches (Knee Grip) from our range will work better for you. Anyone looking for a roomier fit is also less well served by a slim fit and should look at another model.

Frequently asked questions

Which size should I take?
XS corresponds to men's 44, M to men's 48 and L to men's 50. Because this is a slim fit, if you are in doubt between two sizes it is best to choose the larger one if you want a little more room.

Which colours and sizes are available?
Black, navy and white, in sizes XS (men's 44), M (men's 48) and L (men's 50). Not every colour is available in every size.

How do I wash these breeches?
Follow the care label inside the breeches; no specific washing instruction is stated. In any case do not use fabric softener, as it reduces the grip of the silicone.

What is the difference between Full Grip and Knee Grip?
With Full Grip, as on this Aria, the whole seat is covered with silicone for maximum stability in the seat. With Knee Grip the silicone sits only on the knee patches, which gives purchase at the knee and leaves your seat free to move.

Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes, they are intended for both training and competition. In white you have a classic competition colour. Do always check the rules of your discipline.

What exactly is a slim fit?
A slim fit follows the line of your leg without excess fabric. That gives a clean look and fewer folds under your riding boot, but it sits closer to the body than a classic fit.

What is the lycra insert at the ankles for?
It provides a close finish around the ankle, so the leg of the breeches stays flat inside your riding boot or under your chaps.
