LeMieux Young Rider Izzy Knee Grip Riding Breeches
Description
LeMieux Young Rider Izzy Knee Grip Breeches
The LeMieux Young Rider Izzy Knee Grip Breeches are technical riding breeches designed for young riders, with silicone-free knee grip panels that provide stability and security in the saddle. They suit everyday schooling, lessons, pony club and competition days where a smart, close-fitting breech is needed.
Built from a soft four-way adaptive stretch fabric with a seamless-feel finish, they combine equestrian-led design with classic breech styling. They are best for young riders who want grip at the knee rather than a full seat, and a slim leg that sits neatly under long or short boots.
Key Features
- Knee grip panels for stability and security in the saddle
- Four-way adaptive stretch fabric that is soft, flexible and moves with the rider
- Seamless-feel design for comfort over long hours in the saddle
- Seamfree inside leg so nothing sits between the leg and the saddle flap
- Anatomic leg panels that reduce bulk under riding boots for a close contact feel
- Square front pockets with tonal reflective details
- Classic styling: belt loops, faux back pockets and a fly front
- Also available in a full seat version for riders who prefer all-over grip

How to Use
- Measure your young rider's waist and inside leg and compare with the size guide before ordering.
- Pull the breeches on and fasten the fly front, then thread a belt through the loops if preferred.
- Smooth the anatomic leg panels down the calf so the seamfree inside leg lies flat.
- Pull long boots or jodhpur boots and half chaps over the leg, checking there is no rucking at the ankle.
- Mount and check the knee grip sits over the knee and upper calf where it contacts the saddle flap.
- After riding, wash in line with the sewn-in care label and dry away from direct heat.

FAQ
What is the difference between knee grip and full seat breeches?
Knee grip breeches place grip panels around the knee and upper calf, giving security while allowing the seat to move freely. Full seat breeches carry grip across the seat and inner thigh as well, which many dressage riders prefer. The Izzy breeches are offered in both styles.
What size should I order if my child is between sizes?
Choose the larger size. The four-way stretch fabric holds a close fit, and the extra room helps with waist comfort and leg length for a growing rider.
Can these breeches be worn under long boots?
Yes. The anatomic leg panels reduce bulk and the seamfree inside leg keeps the fabric flat, so they sit comfortably under both long boots and jodhpur boots with half chaps.
Are they suitable for competitions?
The smart cut, fly front and classic styling make them appropriate for lessons, pony club and show days, subject to the dress rules of the discipline and organisation you are competing under.
How should the breeches be washed?
Follow the sewn-in care label. Fasten the fly front before washing, avoid fabric conditioner on grip panels and dry away from direct heat to protect the stretch fibres.
Do the reflective details help with visibility?
The square front pockets carry tonal reflective details as a design feature. They are not a substitute for dedicated high-visibility clothing when hacking on the road.
