The Appeal Of The Pikeur Equestrian Brand

The Appeal Of The Pikeur Equestrian Brand


by Sally Delacruz


Equestrians have to look for particular qualities in their gear due to the amount of time they spend in different weather conditions and the strenuous nature of some of their activities. Pikeur is a well known brand and their association with experts in the equestrian field over the years has resulted in products that have developed in innovative ways. They offer a collection of comfortable and stylish gear for all the different seasons.

Wool was used as the yarn of choice for centuries to make outdoor clothing because it offered warmth. However, wool also has a number of disadvantages. It is not waterproof and becomes very heavy when wet. Care is also difficult. The development of synthetic fibers brought about a revolution in the clothing industry and this had a major impact on the type of equestrian gear produced.

Garments made from these synthetic fibers offered many advantages. Two different fibers could even be blended for more versatility. These fibers, like polyester, offered riders the opportunity to stay warm, dry and comfortable but to look very stylish at the same time. The garments made from these synthetic fibers were also much easier to maintain than wool.

It is important for riders to stay dry at all times. This is why fabrics that are able to breathe are so important to them. These fabrics allow moisture to wick away from the body instead of collecting in damp patches inside the garment. Outer layers repel moisture so that rain does not penetrate. The latest garments have these qualities but at the same time they are very light in weight, offering the ultimate in comfort.

Another factor of major importance is the practicality of the garment. It needs to allow for complete freedom of movement while offering the necessary protection. Features like removable hoods, inner pockets and two way zips all make garments more practical. Fit is very important to ensure comfort and adjustable elements like drawstrings can help ensure a tight fit.

The variety of items produced by equestrian clothing brands gives customers a great deal of choice. Coats, jackets, breeches and hats are just some of these items. Buyers have the opportunity to compare ranges at online stores. This offers them the convenience of being able to compare items from the comfort of their own homes and once an item has been selected, it is simply a matter of selecting a size and color to place an order.

Quality is often one of the most important considerations when buying such gear. These garments are usually fairly costly but the quality of the items ensures that they last for many years. They are often constructed with the most advanced fabrics and with great attention to the finest detail. Seams, zippers, pockets and other features are made to withstand heavy use.

Style is another important consideration for customers. They are no longer satisfied with settling for comfort and want items with a good cut that are figure flattering too. Fortunately, there are many designs and styles available today to suit even the most discerning buyers.
