Maximilian Vector Full Grip Men's Breeches

The Vector is available in sizes XS (men's 44), S (men's 46) and M (men's 48), in the colours Taupe and White. Exactly how the breeches fit is not stated in the product information; if you are in doubt between two sizes, ask for advice. With a Full Grip a close fit matters even more, because the silicone seat has to lie flat against the saddle to work.

Wear seamless riding underwear underneath: with a full silicone seat you feel every seam. The white version is the classic competition colour, the taupe version keeps looking neat for longer at home.

For care, follow the care label in the breeches; specific washing instructions are not given in the product information. Silicone keeps gripping longest when you wash the breeches inside out, avoid fabric softener and keep them out of the tumble dryer. Let the breeches dry hanging up.

These riding breeches are meant for men looking for a settled, deep seat: dressage work first of all, and beyond that training and competition in show jumping and eventing. If you ride a lot in the sitting seat and do not want your position to shift, a full silicone seat is the logical version.

If you mainly ride in a light seat, for instance over a course or during cross-country work, a model with silicone knee patches (Knee Grip) from our range is more pleasant: it leaves your seat free, so you come out of the saddle and shift your weight more easily. If you want no silicone against your saddle at all, a model with fabric knee patches is the better choice. Bear in mind, too, that a Full Grip deliberately gives less play in the saddle, and that the size range here is for now limited to XS through M.

Wear seamless riding underwear underneath, because with a full silicone seat you feel every seam. The comfortable waistband makes the breeches pleasant outside riding too, while grooming, lungeing or waiting for your start.

For care, follow the care label in the breeches; no specific washing instruction is given in the product information. Wash them inside out, without fabric softener and without a tumble dryer so the silicone keeps its grip, and let them dry hanging up.

Which size should I take?
The breeches come in XS (men's 44), S (men's 46) and M (men's 48). The sizes follow men's confection sizes; the product information makes no statement about the exact fit.

How do I wash these riding breeches?
Follow the care label in the breeches. Wash them preferably inside out, without fabric softener and without a tumble dryer, so the silicone seat keeps its grip.

What is the difference between Full Grip and Knee Grip?
Full Grip has a full silicone seat and holds your seat in the same place. Knee Grip has silicone only on the knee patches and leaves your seat free. The Vector is a Full Grip model.

Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes. The breeches are meant for daily training and competition alike, and the white version is the classic competition colour.

Which discipline are these breeches intended for?
For dressage, show jumping and eventing riders. The full silicone seat comes into its own above all in dressage work.

Which colours does the Vector come in?
In Taupe and White.

Do the breeches stay comfortable during intensive training?
The material is breathable and moisture-regulating and carries heat away, so you stay dry for longer.

Is a Full Grip pleasant in a light seat too?
It can be, but the seat deliberately grips the saddle. If you ride predominantly in a light seat, a Knee Grip model offers more play.
