Outstanding Riding Clothes From Pikeur

By Gwen Lowe


Riders all over the world are constantly looking for high quality riding apparel. The Pikeur company from Germany has been a market leader for many years. They have been in business for over sixty years and have had plenty of time to really develop their products to meet the needs of even the highest level riders.

The company is from Germany and has a long and successful tradition in the riding apparel business. They initially came to the notice of riders because of their beautifully designed dressage coats. Dressage is the most elegant of horse sports and requires many hours of training. Horse and rider work as a team and really have to have outstanding communications. Marks are also awarded for turn out and in a close competition only a few points may separate the winners from the losers. Every rider tries to get the advantage and having the very best clothes is all part of the picture.

Every rider needs a good pair of breeches or jodhpurs. These close fitting riding trousers are specially designed to stay comfortable even after hours in the saddle. The newer designs incorporate full seat suede patches that help the rider stay secure and can lead to higher show ring marks.

The long tails are weighted to prevent them moving around. This can be a distraction to the horse or rider and may result in a loss of points. The special blend of materials has created a coat with just enough movement to make the rider comfortable. Yet the coat still maintains its classic look. Models are available to fit both men and women.

There is nothing so adorable as a tiny tot in full English riding attire guiding their trusted pony around the ring. Children also need great quality of clothes to look good and win. In addition the clothes are very durable and can often be passed on to a younger member of the family. Show shirts and jackets are also part of the turn out and must fit properly so the child is not distracted or made to feel uncomfortable.

The ABS outer shell is coated with rubber for a slick look and the overall shape is very aerodynamic. Very important is that the neck padding is anatomically formed for maximum protection. The adjustable chin strap helps to keep the helmet secure, especially important in the event of a fall. The four point strap is one of the safest on the market, but also looks stylish.

Both the adult and children's models are certified to EN 1384 standards. They incorporate a flexible peak, washable cool max inset and a three way ventilation system that keeps riders cool on even the warmest days. The neck padding is specially designed to offer maximum protection and the ABS outer shell is sleek and aerodynamic.

Helmets are one of the most important pieces of equipment. They should fit well and be comfortable. The company has realized that by providing both safety and style they have appealed to riders of all ages. Their helmets are loaded with extra features such as a four point harness and effective ventilation system.
