Official description: Equetech Men’s Kingham Breeches
The Equetech Men’s Kingham Breeches are a woven, hard-wearing, everyday affordable pair of breeches offering a superb fit. They have a contoured self fabric seat, Equetech silicone knee grip, press button pockets, Lycra panel to cuff, comfort waistband and belt loops. Being made of 62% polyester, 33% viscose and 5% Spandex, they are machine washable.
The Equetech Kingham breeches were tested by a male member of Jo Rimmer’s team.
First impressions
A smart and tough looking pair of breeches.
Overview of performance
These breeches were very comfortable to ride in and fitted well. They did prove to be very tough and hard-wearing but were too thick and hot for the height of summer. Having worn them in 30°C, I can safely say that I would prefer, and look forward to, wearing them in the cooler weather.
Likes and dislikes
I liked how comfortable and well-fitting these breeches are, but for competing with a tweed coat I felt they are a little too dark in colour.
Verdict
A good value, smart, tough pair of breeches suitable for hunting, rather than mid summer wear.
