Pikeur – German Excellence in Equestrian Clothing

Pikeur is synonymous with the highest quality equestrian apparel, combining over 40 years of experience with innovative technologies and uncompromising style. Based in Germany, the brand has been setting standards in the equestrian world since 1984, creating collections that meet the expectations of the most demanding riders worldwide. Pikeur is not just clothing—it's a philosophy of perfection, where every detail matters, and comfort and elegance go hand in hand with functionality.

Brand History – Tradition Meets Innovation

Pikeur was founded in 1984 as part of the Escada Sport group, inheriting the DNA of luxury fashion and precise German craftsmanship. From the very beginning, the brand has focused on combining high-quality materials with innovative technological solutions, creating clothing that not only looks great but, above all, supports the rider during training and competition. Over the decades, Pikeur has earned the trust of top Olympic riders, FEI competitors, and amateurs worldwide, becoming one of the most recognizable brands in equestrian fashion.

Today, Pikeur is a global brand present in over 40 countries, constantly evolving, introducing new technologies and materials while maintaining its core values: quality, comfort, style, and functionality. Each collection is created in close collaboration with professional riders, ensuring that the products meet the real needs of those who spend many hours a day in the saddle.

Innovative Technologies and Premium Materials

Every Pikeur product is designed with maximum comfort and functionality in mind while riding. The brand invests in research and development, collaborating with leading technical fabric manufacturers to deliver solutions that set new standards in the industry.

Key technologies used in Pikeur products:

• Grip Technology – special silicone or rubber inserts strategically placed in the knee and seat areas provide stability and grip in the saddle without restricting freedom of movement. This technology is available in various variants: Full Grip (full coverage), Knee Grip (knee inserts), and Seat Grip (seat inserts).
• 4-Way Stretch – elastic fabrics that stretch in all directions, ensuring complete freedom of movement and a perfect fit. These materials retain their shape even after repeated washing and intensive use.
• Breathable Fabrics – breathable microfiber materials wick moisture away from the body and provide optimal thermoregulation. This keeps the rider dry and comfortable even during intense training sessions on hot days.
• Shape & Comfort Fit – a tailored cut that shapes the silhouette and accentuates the rider's assets. Specially designed seams and panels ensure an optimal fit without constriction, while the high waist of the breeches guarantees comfort in every position.
• Dirt & Water Repellent – ​​advanced hydrophobic coatings that resist dirt and water, making them easier to keep clean and extending the life of products. These materials are also breathable, preventing the "sauna effect."
• UV Protection – built-in UV protection in selected products, protecting your skin during long outdoor workouts.
• Anti-Bacterial Finish – antibacterial finish that prevents unpleasant odors and ensures freshness even after intense exercise.
