Vestrum Rigel Men's Knee Grip Breeches

The Rigel is available in sizes S (men's 46) and M (men's 48). The sizing therefore follows standard men's sizes. Exactly how the breeches fit cannot be derived from the product information; if you are between two sizes, ask for advice, because riding breeches need to fit closely to keep the silicone knee patches in the right place.

Underneath, wear seamless underwear or riding underwear so no pressure points form under your seat. On top they combine easily with a technical polo or a competition shirt from the range.

For care we refer to the label inside the breeches; the product information gives no specific washing instructions. Silicone grip stays in condition longest when you wash the breeches inside out and do not tumble dry them. Let them dry hanging.

These breeches suit men who ride a lot in light seat and want hold at the knee, but consider freedom of movement in the seat important: jumping and all-round work in the first place, and daily training just as much. The white version makes them immediately usable at competitions.

If you mainly ride dressage and are looking for a deep, constant seat, a model with a full silicone seat (Full Grip) from our range makes more sense: it gives grip across the whole seat and holds your position more firmly. If you want a more classic look without silicone, a model with fabric knee patches is a better choice. Also bear in mind that these breeches are for now available only in white and in two sizes; for daily stable work, white is not the most practical colour.

Wear seamless underwear or riding underwear underneath so no pressure points form under your seat. The silicone knee patches give a firm point of support at the knee, while your seat stays free in light seat, canter work and jumping.

For care, follow the care label; the product information gives no specific washing instructions. Wash the breeches inside out, do not tumble dry them and let them dry hanging, so the silicone grip stays in condition longest.

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

How do I wash these breeches?
The product information gives no specific washing instructions. Follow the care label, preferably wash the breeches inside out and do not use a tumble dryer, so the silicone grip stays in condition.

What is the difference between Full Grip and Knee Grip?
Full Grip has a full silicone seat and holds your seat firmly; Knee Grip has silicone on the knee patches only and leaves your seat free. This Rigel is a Knee Grip model.

Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes. They are offered in white and are intended for both training and competition.

Which discipline are these breeches intended for?
The Knee Grip version is aimed at show jumping and all-round riders, and is just as usable during daily training.

Do the breeches pinch while riding?
The soft fit stretch fabric fits closely without pinching and moves with you in the saddle thanks to its high elasticity.

Do the breeches stay fresh during a long training day?
The material is breathable and quick-drying, so moisture is wicked away during intensive sessions.

Are these breeches available in other colours?
At the moment only in White.
