Ready for your next tournament: The "Balou" competition shirt
At a tournament, every second and every movement counts – so your equipment 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 meets all the classic requirements for equestrian competitions while technically delivering exactly what you need in stressful test situations.
Why the Balou model is your perfect tournament companion:
Reliable UV protection for long tournament days: Those who spend all day outdoors at the warm-up ring or at the arena on summer tournament weekends expose 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 are outdoors between tests or riding without a jacket.
Keep a cool head under your competition jacket thanks to mesh technology: Especially during a test, when tension rises and your tight competition jacket adds extra warmth, breathability is key. The generous mesh insert in the chest, shoulder, and sleeve area ensures outstanding air circulation. Moisture and heat buildup are immediately wicked away, so you stay dry and focused in the arena or course, even on 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 hand for instant, pleasant cooling.
Subtle glamour when the dress code is relaxed: On hot days when riding without a jacket is permitted, this shirt becomes an absolute eye-catcher. The glitter details incorporated 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 white breeches: The highly elastic, smooth material in the lower part of the shirt fits like a second skin. It does not create any annoying wrinkles under your jacket or in the waistband of your white breeches. This guarantees exactly the smooth and unrestricted freedom of movement you need for precise and subtle aids.
