Frequently asked questions about Animo Italia women's full grip riding breeches
Full seat or knee patch, which is better?
For dressage or advanced jumping: full seat. For training or beginners: knee patch is sufficient and cooler.
How to wash riding breeches?
At a maximum of 30°C, inside out, without fabric softener (it degrades the silicone). Air dry without wringing.
What is my size?
Each brand has its own size chart. Measure your waist, hips, and inseam. If you are between two sizes, choose the tighter one (the fabric will stretch with use).
