Sporting Hares Victorious Summer Performance Breeches: ‘very comfortable’ 7/10

Welcome to our group test of summer breeches. All of the breeches in this group test have been thoroughly tested by former eventer turned para dressage rider Tamsin Addison. Find out what she thought below.

Official description

Crafted from a four-way stretch, the Victorious Summer Breeches by Sporting Hares feature moisture-wicking capabilities, a full stretch for comfort and a high-quality silicon grip for maximum control in the saddle. A high-rise waist completes the look.

First impressions

The colouring and patterns on these breeches are a bit loud for my taste. However, they look very comfortable and breathable for summer. I was pleased to see they have belt loops and are high waisted.

Overview of performance

These breeches were very stretchy and comfortable when riding and walking. They are ideal for summer as the material is quite thin. Sadly the silicon grip isn’t as effective as I would have hoped.

Likes and dislikes

I love that they are high waisted and they are very comfortable to wear, plus I like the belt loops. The design of the fabric with the gold dots was not something I would normally choose, but they did do the job.
