Top Of The Line Pikeur Riding Apparel

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.

Their clothing is well known not only for its very high quality but also for its functionality. Riding is a tough sport and competitors need to know they can really rely on their jackets, breeches and helmets. Every item in the extensive line is carefully designed, tried and tested. This attention to detail is very apparent for anyone who tries on one of the products. This is why the company has a huge and loyal following all over the world.

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.

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.

There is also a complete range of children's riding wear. Many youngster compete in shows and need a great set of clothes that will last them through the season. Parents can get everything their child needs including a highly rated safety helmet.

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.
