Product Review ~ Equestrian riding underwear, performance, symmetry and balance




One of the most overlooked items in a rider's wardrobe is the least visible but can become the bane of one's life. Yes we are talking UNDERWEAR! We take a look at the Derriere Equestrian Performance Padded Panty to discover why riders find this product invaluable to their comfort, performance and their sanity!
 
We frequently put our horses’ needs before our own and provide them with high quality equipment to maximise their comfort. We spend more time getting our horses comfortable than ourselves! Endless saddle fittings and alterations, new saddles, new saddle cloth, bigger bit, thinner bit, fatter bit, gel pads, poll guards, boots, bandages, summer rug, under-rug, heavyweight rug, hood … the list just goes on.

It clearly is time to address our own comfort whilst in the saddle. After all, it has been demonstrated and reported that appropriately selected underwear can in fact, affect a rider’s position and performance.
 



When a rider is comfortable in the saddle, even at a subconscious level, they will ride with a deeper, more effective, symmetrical seat.
 
The more comfortable and higher performing the padding is, the greater energy savings and better posture for the horse rider. On the contrary, discomfort can cause the rider to move in the saddle while trying to readjust their posture, interrupting the harmony between the horse and rider.
 
Carl Hester MBE Brand Ambassador for Derriere Equestrian products believes in the underwear to such a level, he is famously quoted as saying “Every Rider Should Be Wearing Them”
 
At an International workshop held at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket, Dr Sue Dyson shared her clinical observations on the complexities of the diagnostic procedure when evaluating a possible role of the saddle and/or rider in cases that are presented for clinical evaluation of lameness, back pain or other performance problems. Dr Dyson’s studies showed a comparison of the saddle position and symmetry of riders may point to a primary problem in the way the horse has been ridden and trained. Furthermore, an intrinsically unbalanced or asymmetrical rider position may contribute to the development of equine back pain. Dr Dyson’s insights show that the horse is sometimes the source of problems that are manifest as asymmetries in the position of the rider, a highlighting point as to why all riders should select their undergarments carefully.


Ill-fitting underwear can cause great discomfort, including wedgies, rubbing, chafing, abrasions and last but not least cause the dreaded VPL (visible panty line).

So you may have been considering your new season equestrian wardrobe, new breeches, skins, competition clothing, riding boots, half chaps, even down to your socks! Let us ask you one question “When did you last look for decent underwear for riding?” Maybe, like many, you gave up long ago and resorted to finding your own alternatives ... such as boy's undies, cycle shorts, or, even going commando!
 


The dreaded VPL factor: Derrieres are the best for VPL minimisation This will depend on the fit of the underwear and the fabric of your jodhpurs. With the appropriate size fitting your Derrieres will be your perfect secret!

Derriere Equestrian launched in September 2014 and has since become renowned as the world leading equestrian underwear specialists. Available through 34 countries within over 250 retail shops. Derriere Equestrian offers high-tech, anatomically-designed, lasting underwear to protect and perform. Boasting invisible seams, wicking properties and high density foam resulting in perfection every time.

The DE Performance Padded Panty brief is the most popular choice for female riders, with the DE Bonded Padded Shorty following closely with the DE Performance Panty. For the male riders, the DE Bonded Padded Shorty is the lead choice.

The garments feel silky and soft to the touch, but most importantly, when on, they do not move. If you can make it through the day without thinking about something, then it's not bothering you, and that is the case with Derrieres.

 

 
The Jacquard Waistband trim is just over 1.5cm for females and 3cm for the male styles, so they not dig into the tummy, with a comfort support finish. The flat-stitched leg seams also do not dig and do not cause a VPL!
