Comparison of Horse Pilot Riding Breeches

Common features:

All 6 breeches have the following technologies:

Preform Fit Technology by Horse Pilot for freedom of movement - Compression Technology by Horse Pilot to improve support and recovery - UV Block Technology by Horse Pilot to block UV rays.

Grips on the inside of the knees.

Contact area with the saddle without seams to avoid chafing.

All very stretchy and breathable, note that the X-Perform is slightly less breathable than the other four.

None of the breeches are waterproof, however thanks to their materials, they all dry very quickly.

All five breeches are machine washable: Synthetic program max. 30°, without fabric softener, spin at 600 RPM, close the zips, hang on a clip hanger, do not tumble dry.

The X-Design, our iconic model, made in Italian fabric, has two hand pockets.

The X-Grip is specialized for dressage thanks to its grips on the seat area.

The X-Perform has two hand pockets as well as a phone pocket on the thigh. Its fabric is the thickest of all.

The X-Aerotech is designed for summer with its micro-perforations.

The X-Balance 2.0 has a pocket along the thigh to store your phone. It is a very lightweight breech.

The X-Perform, the X-Grip, and the X-Design have an elastic waistband at the back and knee grips.

The X-Prime, our 2026 novelty, comes in full grip and knee grip, to satisfy all tastes. Two hand pockets, a lightweight material for absolute comfort.
