Design
All Equissentials riding pants are slip-ons with no buckles,belt loops,or zippers. (They are available at an additional cost). There is one joining seam that is offset to the front of the hip area and curves gently to the outside of the knee. This curve continues through the calf, accentuating the muscle. There is no seaming on pressure points or in contact with the saddle, ensuring absolute riding comfort. Visually, the seaming creates a narrowing look through the waist and upper thigh area, as there is no focus drawn to the outside of the hip. The waistband is a wide 2.5 inch band made of the same fabric as the pant. In all of our leather breeches, there is an additional piece of lycra sewn into the band to ensure it will not stretch out or slip down over the life of the pant. The support is evenly distributed throughout the width of the band, eliminating any feeling of constriction through the midsection. The pant is finished to the anklebone, where it remains, whether wearing tall or short boots.
Fabrics
The Equissentials Full Seat and Hunt Seat French Terry fabric is a dense knit of 88% cotton and 12% Lycra™ and has 120% stretch in all directions. This allows complete Freedom of Motion - the ability to move in any direction - letting you mount your horse or squat to the floor with ease and no binding, bunching or slipping.
The outside of our French Terry fabric is densely knit. The inside has a soft 'chamois feel' - with tiny loops that wick away sweat in the summer and insulate in the winter. The feeling next to the skin is so luxurious! You won't believe how comfortable they are.
The Equissentials Gripbums fabrics are:
The Midweight French Terry, available in Black and Tan. It is a lighter version of our popular Full Seat and Hunt Seat Fabric French Terry, with all the same qualities.
The Lightweight Fabric, available in Black. A light 90% cotton and 10% LycraTM blend for warmer days, with just the right amount of stretch and support.
