The Boss Equestrian Hazel Knee Grip are women's riding breeches with a regular rise and soft, ergonomic knee grips. BOSS makes them in ultra-lightweight power-stretch that breathes and dries quickly, with 73% polyamide and 27% elastane. A BOSS logo patch sits on the left leg. Maddelin stocks the Hazel in Tealeaf and Tortoise, in XS, S and M. About these breeches
The Hazel in Tealeaf and Tortoise is BOSS article B8W1302 from the Boss Equestrian FW26 collection. It is the only pair in the BOSS range at Maddelin for which the brand explicitly states a regular rise. That makes it the counterpart of the Hannah, which comes in the same seasonal colours but sits high on the waist.
Soft, ergonomic knee grips
The grip sits at the knee. BOSS describes the knee grips as soft and ergonomic. There is no grip on the seat. Knee Grip is not only worn for show jumping. Some brands call their Full Grip models 'dressage' and their Knee Grip models 'jumping'; that tells you about the grip type, not about who wears the breeches.
Ultra-lightweight power-stretch
The fabric is an ultra-lightweight power-stretch with 73% polyamide and 27% elastane. BOSS calls it breathable and quick-drying. The Hazel in white and black is a different article: that one is a breathable power-stretch with 75% polyamide and 25% elastane.
Finish
A BOSS logo patch on the left leg is the only visible brand detail BOSS mentions for this article. The brand gives no information on pockets or fastening for this Hazel.
