LeMieux Izzy riding breeches Kids

LeMieux labels its children's sizes by age, and the Young Rider range is designed for children aged 7 to 14. An age is a guideline, not a measurement: two children born in the same year can differ considerably in height. With the Izzy, also check the colour: Black comes in 122-128 (age 7-8) and 134-140 (age 9-10), Navy in 146-152 (age 11-12). Measure your child, compare with the LeMieux size chart and get in touch with the shop if you are unsure.

For a young child, riding breeches with a fastening take a little more effort than leggings: let them practise putting them on and taking them off by themselves the first few times, so it goes smoothly before a lesson.

Wash the Izzy at a maximum of 30°C, separately and inside out, with a gentle detergent and no fabric softener. Do not bleach, do not dry clean, do not tumble dry and do not iron. Let them dry naturally.

Choose the Izzy if your child wants classic riding breeches, with a fly and belt loops, and grip on the inside of the knee. They are breeches for weekly lessons, schooling and riding camps, in any discipline.

If your child prefers the ease of a pair without a fastening, LeMieux breggings such as the Remi are a good alternative. If you are looking for white riding breeches for competitions, take a look at the LeMieux Freya Pro in White.

The Izzy has a real fly at the front and belt loops, so your child can wear a belt. Breeches with a fastening take a little more effort than leggings: let your child practise putting them on and taking them off at home first. The grip sits on the inside of the knee.

Wash at 30°C maximum, separately and inside out, with a gentle detergent and no fabric softener. Do not bleach, do not dry clean, do not tumble dry and do not iron. Let the breeches dry naturally.

Which size should I choose?
In Black you choose between 122-128 (age 7-8) and 134-140 (age 9-10); in Navy there is 146-152 (age 11-12). LeMieux uses age sizes, so measure your child and compare with the LeMieux size chart. If in doubt, get in touch with the shop.

How do I wash these riding breeches?
At a maximum of 30°C, separately and inside out, with a gentle detergent and no fabric softener. Do not tumble dry, do not iron, do not bleach and do not dry clean.

Do the Izzy have full grip or knee grip?
These Izzy have knee grip: the grip sits only on the inside of the knee, and the seat has no grip.

What is the difference between full grip and knee grip?
Full grip covers the seat and the inside of the legs, knee grip only the inside of the knee. Both are worn in all disciplines; it is mainly a question of how your child prefers the contact with the saddle.

Are the Izzy riding breeches or leggings?
Riding breeches. They have a fly at the front and belt loops, whereas leggings or breggings have no zip or buttons.

Can my child wear a belt?
Yes, the Izzy have belt loops.
