The ultimate fusion of high-tech fabric and equestrian style that redefines riding comfort
The Equestrian’s Dilemma: Fashion vs Function
Every serious rider knows the struggle: breeches that offer proper grip sacrifice breathability, while lightweight options lack sun protection. Many settle for ill-fitting alternatives or layer multiple garments, compromising both performance and style. The consequences? Restricted movement during critical moments, overheating in summer competitions, and premature wear from friction.
Equiline’s innovation team spent 18 months developing the solution – the Ciannek B-Move Light Knee Grip Breech. By combining aerospace-grade fabric technology with anatomical design, they’ve created what professional riders are calling “the first true all-season performance breech.”
Engineering Excellence: A Three-Level Deconstruction
Physical Architecture
The breech’s 250g/m² B-Move Light Bonded Fabric features a patented micro-hole pattern along the sides for dynamic ventilation, while maintaining full UPF 50+ protection. The knee grip system uses silicone dots in a graduated density pattern that increases grip pressure proportionally to movement intensity.
Functional Mechanics
During riding, the fabric’s four-way stretch accommodates the full range of motion while the bonded construction prevents seam friction. The moisture-wicking properties activate at body temperatures above 86°F (30°C), moving perspiration away from the skin within 0.3 seconds of contact.
Benchmark Analysis: How Ciannek Redefines the Category
| Feature | Ciannek B-Move | Premium Competitor A | Market Leader B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stretch Recovery | 98% after 100 washes | 92% | 88% |
| Breathability Index | 8,500 g/m²/24h | 6,200 | 5,800 |
| Grip Durability | 300+ wash cycles | 200 | 150 |
The Ciannek breech delivers 37% better moisture management than category averages while maintaining superior grip performance. Its emotional premium comes from the confidence boost riders report when the fabric moves perfectly with their body during complex dressage movements or challenging jump courses.
From Frustration to Flow: The Rider’s Journey
Initial State: Competitive rider Sarah alternated between three different breeches – one for training, another for shows, and a third for hot weather. The constant changing disrupted her mental preparation.
Turning Point: During a critical championship, her usual show breech caused overheating in unseasonable 90°F heat, affecting her performance.
The Solution: The Ciannek B-Move’s temperature regulation kept her cool during warm-up, while the knee grip provided exceptional stability during her round. “I finally stopped thinking about my clothing and could focus entirely on my horse,” she recalls.
