WHICH UNDERWEAR IS SUITABLE FOR RIDING?
Underwear is an important piece of riding gear because it lies directly on the skin and may be exposed to high friction while riding. Therefore, it should not be neglected. The quality and functionality of the underwear depends on the cut, the course of the seams and the material.
For female riders, a sports bra is an absolute must, as a regular bra cannot withstand the movement activities of a female rider. Thin straps cut into the shoulders, metal underwires can press uncomfortably and the bra can slip. Sports bras, on the other hand, relieve pressure on the shoulders and absorb shocks with the help of wide straps. The seamless cubs and wide underbust bands ensure optimal support and thus a high level of wearing comfort.
Flat seams are important in the briefs to prevent chafing. Microfibres are the ideal fabric for functional underwear. These are soft and mould perfectly to the body. They are also breathable and quick-drying. In winter, seamless thermal long-sleeved shirts and thermal underpants are a welcome accessory for riders. They protect the rider from getting chilled and round off a winter riding outfit consisting of a winter riding jacket, winter breeches and winter riding boots.
Whether you are planning a long ride in winter or a hack in summer temperatures, at Kramer Equestrian Sports you will find online the right underwear for riding.
HOW DO I BEST WASH MY SPORTS UNDERWEAR?
Sports underwear is mostly made of finely woven microfibre, which is best washed after each intensive riding session. Only wash them with similar materials to protect the fabrics.
In addition to the sewn-in care label, observe the following points:
- Turn the sports underwear inside out
- Put them in a washing net, if possible
- Use a liquid detergent, possibly a special detergent for sports textiles.
- Avoid bleach or fabric softener.
- Set a maximum of 40 degrees
- Wash on the delicate cycle
- Sports underwear dries best when air-dried on a clothesline.
