The Animo Nyork Knee Grip Ladies Breeches have a flattering high waist and close with a zip and double hook for added security. They feature silicone knee grip sections to reduce slippage in the saddle, and elasticated leg ends for fitting comfortably underneath your long riding boots or gators.
“I really wanted to try these breeches out as I didn’t have anything like them in my own wardrobe and I really liked the pretty, yet subtle sparkle detailing on the pocket and the thigh. The material felt really soft and stretchy and I liked that it was only knee grip. I was really looking forward to giving them a go!”
The sizing was true to size but the material was super stretchy, so there is a bit of give in them if you need it!
“I thought that giving these breeches the best trial would be to give them a sort of baptism of fire and go for my first cross country school of the year in them. As a firm lover of riding tights I knew it would take a lot for me to be convinced. I found these breeches to be SO comfortable! The wide waistband felt so supportive but the material was completely non restrictive and I was comfortable throughout my whole ride! The knee grip gave me extra security in the saddle – which was tested with a hairy moment jumping into the water. These are my new go-to breeches as they are so flattering yet comfortable.”
It has to be the material. They have the comfort, flexibility and breathability of riding leggings but with the support and fit of breeches.
