Kingsland Kids KLkaden Boys E-Tec K-Grip

This navy KLkaden comes in size 128 (age 8). Kingsland sizes children's clothing by the child's height, so 128 is meant for a boy of around 128 cm. Age is only a guide. Measure your son, compare with the Kingsland size chart and ask the shop for advice if you're unsure.

Kingsland doesn't publish care instructions for this model, so the care label inside the breeches is your guide. For the brands whose care instructions for silicone-grip breeches we do know, the rule is always the same: do not tumble dry. If in doubt, let the breeches air dry.

Wear the KLkaden with riding boots or with jodhpur boots and half chaps. The front fastening is a hook and eye, just like on adult breeches; let a young rider practise it at home first.

Choose the KLkaden for a boy of around 128 cm who wants classic riding breeches with a fastening, grip at the knee and a fabric that can cope with yard work. Navy is intended for training and the yard; for competitions, white and beige are the norm.

If your child wants grip across the whole seat, have a look at a full grip model such as the Kingsland KLkaysa. For something without a fastening that simply pulls on, riding leggings such as the KLvalerie or the KLMila are a better choice.

The KLkaden fastens at the front with a hook and eye, just like adult breeches; let a young rider practise it at home first. The silicone knee grip sits on the inside of the knee. Wear the breeches with riding boots or with jodhpur boots and half chaps. The front pockets close with a press stud.

Kingsland doesn't publish care instructions for this model, so follow the care label. Don't tumble dry the breeches; let them air dry.

How do I wash these breeches?
Follow the care label; Kingsland doesn't publish care instructions. Do not tumble dry and let the breeches air dry.

What does knee grip mean?
With knee grip, the silicone grip is only on the inside of the knee. With full grip, it runs across the seat and the inside of the legs. The grip type says nothing about the discipline your child rides.

What's the difference from riding leggings?
Leggings have no zip or buttons. The KLkaden are riding breeches with a hook-and-eye fastening at the front and press-stud pockets.

Are these breeches waterproof?
No. Kingsland describes the fabric as water-, dust- and grease-repellent: splashes bead off more easily, but in a downpour the breeches will get wet.

Can a girl wear these breeches too?
Kingsland designed the KLkaden as a boys' model, with a regular fit. Whether they fit depends on your child's build; you're welcome to come and try them on in the shop.

Can my son wear these breeches at a competition?
Navy is intended for training and the yard. For competitions, white and beige are the norm; check the rules of your discipline and federation.
