Samshield Breeches Size, Fit, Style Guide

Breeches are essential for every rider. At the Farm House Tack, we are proud to carry high-quality riding breeches for every discipline and price point. One of the brands we love at the Farm House is Samshield. In this guide, we’ll share why we recommend Samshield breeches, how to select a great pair of riding breeches, and some favorite breeches for you to choose from.

History of Samshield Breeches

Samshield’s creator, Sam Maloigne, was a professional international motocross and supercross rider. He started riding in 2003. Passionate about beautiful products, and helmets in particular, he decided to launch a project to create a riding helmet that would provide more active and passive safety, greater comfort, noble materials, and personalization. 

Why Choose Samshield Breeches?

Samshield was born from the need of young professional riders for safe, high-tech, and beautiful helmets, jackets, breeches, show shirts, and more. Samshield’s philosophy is always to offer products that offer real progress in terms of technology, active and safety, comfort, quality of materials, high-quality finish, and personalization.

The elasticated fabric provides protection from UV rays and wind. The silicone knee grip ensures stability and adherence in the saddle.

How To Select a Quality Pair of Riding Breeches

Breeches are athletically-inspired pants designed for equestrians. They are made of a thin fabric that fits snugly throughout the leg and seat and allows a rider’s leg movements to be felt by the horse. Breeches should fit comfortably without wrinkles or areas of baggy fabric that would detract from the appearance of the pant or cause friction for your skin. The legs should be snug but not so tight that they constrain.

Men’s breeches are typically sold by waist size and inseam length. Women’s breeches are sized by waist size and rise. To size breeches, measure around your waist for regular-fit breeches and around your hips for low-rise breeches. Then measure your inseam (the length of your leg) to find the proper length.
