Tredstep fans have a reason to celebrate as the company has launched the exquisite Symphony breech and shirt collection. Inspired by the extraordinary beauty and precision of symphonic music, each of the Symphony styles were conceived to provide riders of every discipline with clothing that promises complete comfort, a beautiful fit and enhanced performance.
Designs for the Symphony Breech Collection were extensively researched by Tredstep and influenced by top riders worldwide. The result of this research is the creation of Tredstep’s proprietary “Motion Fit Design” features that accommodate perfectly the rider’s constant movement and forms the foundation for the Symphony Collection. It comprises of three elements which run through the entire collection —
- Integrated Cuff — The “Integrated Cuff” design accommodates varying calf sizes. It streamlines and elongates the leg producing a secure feel with full freedom of movement.
- Definition Waistband — Designed using circular pattern techniques to improve the definition of the rider’s waist and eliminating belt pulling and gaps. It creates a more comfortable and noticeably more flattering fit, particularly at the lower back.
- Articulated Knee Patch — The upper area of the knee patch is lightly padded for increased comfort against the saddle, and the lower area, which is inside the rider’s boot, is scalloped to reduce bulk and aid in the flexion of the knee. The Symphony Knee patch maintains the front curve and look of the traditional knee patch but it has been specifically designed in terms of shape, stitch articulation, and graded padding to actively aid the unrestricted bending and flexion of the rider’s knees. Scrolled patterns and butterfly seams contour the lower leg shape to provide a superior fit and reduce bunching of fabric at the back of knee.
To ensure that there is a breech for every rider in the range, the Symphony Collection is comprised of 3 styles — the Argenta, the Azzura and the Rosa.
Symphony No1 — Argenta
The Argenta defines a new standard in high performance breeches. Tredstep’s Motion Fit Design features are expressed using Schoeller Prestige fabrics with Schoeller NanoSphere treatment. This unique composition gives the rider total freedom of movement in a durable, self-cleaning four-way permanent stretch fabric that breathes/regulates moisture and retains its shape, yet feels soft to the skin.
The Argenta styles include a knee patch and a full seat version and are available in white, tan and grey. Sizes 24R-34R Knee Patch £139.95, Full Seat £144.95
Symphony No2 – Azzura
The Azzura breeches are executed using Tredstep’s own TS Evolution fabric to create a high-performance mix of microfiber, cotton and yarns that produce a four-way stretch breech with ultimate shape retention and a soft, skin-friendly feel for the rider.
The Azzura incorporates the latest in technologically advanced materials in the form of silicone integrated into the knee patch. This provides an enhanced grip and reduced saddle friction while allowing for increased mobility in the knee area. Azzura breeches are an expression of leading edge technology and design innovation both converging to provide a superior riding experience.
The Azzura is available in white and tan with front zip knee patch and full seat versions for ladies, and a knee patch version for gentlemen.
