Ready for your next tournament: The "Balou" competition shirt
In competition, every second and every movement counts – your gear simply has to fit perfectly and support you in the best possible way. Our "Balou" competition shirt has been specially developed for demanding competitive riders. With its elegant cut, it fulfills all classic requirements for tournament sports while technically delivering exactly what you need in stressful test situations.
Why the Balou model is your perfect competition companion:
Reliable UV protection for long competition days: Anyone who spends the entire day outside on the warm-up ring or by the dressage arena on summer tournament weekends exposes their skin to intense sunlight. The innovative functional material of this shirt features integrated UV protection. It reliably blocks harmful sun rays and protects your skin – an absolute must, especially if you spend time outdoors between classes or ride without a jacket.
Keep a cool head under your show jacket thanks to mesh technology: Especially during a test, when tension rises and the tight show jacket adds extra heat, breathability is key. The generous mesh insert in the chest, shoulder, and sleeve area ensures outstanding air circulation. Moisture and trapped heat are immediately wicked away, so you remain dry and focused on the course or in the arena, even on scorching hot tournament days.
Competition-ready stand-up collar with Quick-Zip: The classic stand-up collar ensures a correct, formal look under your jacket. As soon as you leave the arena after your ride, you can open the practical zipper with one simple movement to cool down immediately.
Subtle glamour when the jacket requirement is lifted: When riding without a jacket is permitted on hot days, this shirt becomes a real eye-catcher. The glitter details worked into the airy mesh sparkle elegantly in the sunlight. This way, you maintain a highly aesthetic, professional look that leaves an impression on judges and spectators alike.
Perfect fit in your white breeches: The highly elastic, smooth material in the lower part of the shirt fits like a second skin. It does not create annoying folds under your jacket or in the waistband of your white breeches. This guarantees you the smooth and unrestricted freedom of movement you need for precise and fine aids.
