Choosing the right fit in your breeches is crucial for a comfy feel in the saddle. In our breeches models, you have three different waist heights to choose from. Mid-rise, high-rise, and extra-high rise – options to suit every rider. In this article, we’ll guide you through the different fits of our breeches models.

Mid-Rise

Performance and Athlete Breeches are the breeches models that feature a mid-rise waist. Ending right above the hipbone, these breeches offer you a comfortable fit both on and off horseback. With a wide waistband, belt loops, and form-flattering four-way stretch, these will help you perform at the highest level, with unbeatable freedom of movement and comfort.

High-Rise

The high-rise fit is perfect if you want great support, a comfortable fit, and breeches that stay in place. Gone are the days of constantly pulling up your breeches. Ending above the hip, our high-rise breeches work for all body types, providing a flattering fit without cutting in or creating discomfort. You’ll find the high-rise fit in our Compression Breeches.

Extra High-Rise

For riders who want an even higher waist, we can recommend our breeches series Function, Classic and Adapt. The extra-high waist provides additional support for both your back and stomach. Made with stretchy fabrics, these breeches follow your body without bunching up in the saddle. Ending below your ribcage, this waist will fit you like a glove whilst offering both extra support and comfort.
