Pikeur is a well-known and popular manufacturer of riding clothing in equestrian sport. The breeches in particular are particularly popular with women, men and children of all ages. This is not surprising, because hardly any other manufacturer offers such a large selection of breeches as the Westphalian brand. The fashionable breeches, such as Lucinda or Lugana for women, can be perfectly combined with outerwear and are often coordinated with each other in collections.
Matching breeches or leggings ensure a secure fit in the saddle. In contrast to normal trousers or leggings, it is designed precisely for the special stresses of riding. It does not chafe through so quickly and offers you more wearing comfort. Each Pikeur breeches is made of stretchy material and adapts flexibly to your body. You will find a large selection of different models, colors and materials. They are characterized by an extremely good fit. Depending on the model, they are equipped with full or knee patches. Riding leggings offer even more freedom of movement thanks to the slightly thinner fabric. This advantage is particularly evident in show jumping. Since 1964, Pikeur has been providing equestrian sports enthusiasts with clothing of the highest quality. Anyone who has once learned to appreciate the comfort and the high level of functionality will no longer use any other brand!
Of course, the term "expensive" is relative. But Pikeur breeches obviously belong in the upper price segment. Equestrian clothing is usually more expensive than normal clothing, as there is a different need for quality and durability. The price for women's breeches is therefore often around or over €100. Pikeur manufactures very high-quality breeches and is one of the few manufacturers to date who also guarantee that silicone grip trimmings will not damage the leather of the saddle. It is also worth getting high-quality (and therefore often high-priced) breeches, as they offer a better fit. The material feels more comfortable on the skin and small details make the difference. Almost all Pikeur breeches have elastic leg ends. Many cheap models still have the outdated leg ends with Velcro.
Pikeur breeches not only look good, they are also very high quality and durable. This justifies the price. Hardly any rider who has worn Pikeur breeches once chooses another brand in the future. Another advantage is the insane selection of different models, especially for women's breeches. Pikeur offers the right model for every figure.
Opinions differ when it comes to the question of whether grip or synthetic leather is better for riding. The truth is: It depends on the taste of the rider. However, artificial leather full seat is increasingly disappearing from equestrian sport. Pikeur still makes breeches with this artificial leather as knee or full seat, but the proportion is rather small compared to breeches with grip.
Imitation leather full seat or knee seat is suitable for riders who want a little more freedom of movement. Because with grip you "stick" much more firmly to the saddle. This can limit hip mobility. If you are used to riding with synthetic leather trimmings, the silicone trimmings will irritate you at first. However, the feeling of "sticking to the saddle" with Pikeur breeches is not quite as strong as with some other manufacturers.
Breeches with silicone grip have been conquering equestrian sports for some time. The advantage is the airiness of the material. Almost every rider has already had the experience of the imitation leather trimmings damp with sweat. This is significantly reduced with grip breeches. Since the coating is done by individual silicone dots, the breeches are more airy. In addition, breeches with grip offer a better grip in the saddle. If you are used to riding in this type of breeches, switching to leatherette breeches will certainly seem very slippery the first few times.
Which type of breeches you choose is entirely up to your personal preferences. It's definitely worth trying the other way, because you'll notice a difference. However, many riders prefer breeches with grip, as these are simply more comfortable than classic breeches with imitation leather trimmings.
This choice also depends entirely on your requirements. Dressage riders like to choose a full seat to have a little more grip in the saddle with lively horses. If you are a show jumper and ride a lot in the light seat, breeches with knee patches could be completely sufficient for you. You should choose the type of trim that makes you feel most secure and comfortable in the saddle.
The wonderful thing about the Westphalian equestrian sports brand is the incredibly large selection of fashionable models and sizes. Especially in the area of women's breeches, every rider will find the perfect fit. Pikeur women's breeches are available from size 32 up to size 48, for men up to size 58. These sizes are also available in variants with longer legs. If we don't have a size in stock, we'll be happy to order it for you. Riding leggings with a highly elastic waistband are particularly suitable for very slim women and girls. These are available as women's breeches, for example the Gia model. As well as children's breeches (model Ida) up to a size of 176.
Precisely because Pikeur has such a large selection of models, you may have to try on a few first. You should first ask yourself the question of the seat: knee or full seat, synthetic leather or grip? This decision narrows the selection down a bit. Now you can think about the material. Riding leggings are made of a polyamide elastane mix and are therefore rather stretchy. They are reminiscent of yoga pants and also snuggle up to the body. Most riding leggings do not have belt loops, so the waistband and fit must match your body. The Lucinda breeches are a popular model among riders who want a lower rise, comparable to hipsters. The Candela breeches, on the other hand, have a high waistband. Very feminine women like to reach for these breeches because they hug the curves perfectly. A classic breeches would be the Lugana model, which has a full seat made of imitation leather and leg ends with Velcro. We advise you: the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Visit us in the shop in Lippstadt and we will be happy to advise you.
Of course, Pikeur also has breeches especially for summer or winter. Riding leggings are particularly suitable as summer breeches because they are made of a light fabric. A mix of polyamide and elastane ensures a tight fit. A silicone full seat ensures the necessary air permeability. In addition, most riding leggings do not have classic zip pockets, but they do have one or sometimes two large pockets on the side of the leg for a smartphone or treats.
Softshell breeches are suitable for winter. These are lined on the inside with a microfiber fleece, which keeps the legs warm at this time of the year. The soft shell upper material consists of a material mix of polyamide and polyester, as well as a part of elastane. This makes the breeches elastic and easy to care for. Riding breeches with a large proportion of cotton are also suitable for the colder seasons, as they also warm up well.
Of course, Pikeur also offers white breeches for tournaments. These breeches are models that are also available as "normal" breeches. You get models that are completely white or have subtle highlights such as rhinestones. Of course, competition breeches from current collections are also available.
Of course, Pikeur also has some breeches on offer for men. Rossini is the classic breeches with imitation leather trimmings. Rodrigo is the popular model with grip trim. Men's breeches are more discreet and sporty. In colors like dark blue, brown or grey, it cuts a fine figure for modern riders.
