The Excellent Quality Of Pikeur Riding Clothes

By Gwen Lowe


The Pikeur company has been a leading manufacturer of top quality riding clothes for over sixty years. The company is based in Germany but markets their products world wide. Since 1972 they have had the honor of supplying every German equestrian team, including the Olympic riders.

The company has been the official supplier to the German equestrian teams since 1972. Their clothes are so functional, yet still provide the elegance so closely linked to the world of horses. These animals are so powerful, yet graceful and very willing to work for their human masters. Their beauty is complemented by their rider and the classic riding clothes have developed with this gracefulness in mind.

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.

Tradition is very strong in the horse world and show riders need to wear white, cream or beige breeches. There are dress and etiquette rules for every class and not adhering to them will result in a loss of points. Even the children must be dressed according the rules for their age and class. Those under the age of sixteen should wear jodhpurs and short boots, commonly referred to as jodhpur boots. Only after the age of sixteen are breeches and long boots considered acceptable.

Most of the products are still made in Germany by highly skilled craftspeople. Yet buyers in the United States and all over the world are still able to order on line. The ordering process is very easy and a conversion features show the price in the local currency. Sizing in Europe is quite different to North American sizing and can be confusing. Any questions can be directed to the highly efficient customer service department who are only too happy to help.

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.

Show jackets are another staple of the company. Many people love the value for money Epsom jacket. It sports two rear vents that make it comfortable, plus two front pockets. It is also washable which really adds to its practicality. Horse shows go on whatever the weather and riders can end up very muddy. There is also an optional velvet collar feature available on the black jacket.

Products are available in many local retail stores. Shoppers can also go online to order their new clothes. Everything ships fast and urgent orders can be delivered quicker for an extra charge. Every item of the extensive range receives outstanding reviews from customers. They often comment that they were happy to pay a little extra for such a comfortable and well made item.
