The Ultimate Guide to Ariat Tri Factor Breeches
Michelle DrumSometimes, great competition breeches are hard to come by. That’s why we know many equestrians with multiple pairs of Ariat Tri Factor breeches in multiple colors in their closet. These breeches are the perfect all-season breeches, and we think every rider should have at least one pair. In this guide, we’ll share everything we love about the Ariat Tri Factor breeches and explain why they should be a staple in your riding wardrobe.
What are Ariat Tri Factor breeches?
Ariat Tri Factor breeches are the ultimate competition breeches. Featuring cooling technology, slimming support, and superior grip, the Tri Factor breeches can do it all. Riders from every English discipline enjoy wearing these breeches because they’re comfortable for everyday wear yet still sophisticated for competitions.
Why we love the Ariat Tri Factor breeches
The Ariat Tri Factor breeches include so many amazing qualities, it’s hard to narrow down our favorites. Here are some of the best features that we think are worth shouting out.
ClimateTEK™ material
One of the best features of the Ariat Tri Factor breeches is the ClimateTEK™ construction. Ariat’s patented ClimateTEK innovation is an advanced cooling technology that responds dynamically to shifts in your body’s temperature. It works effortlessly to keep you cool when the competition gets hot and keeps you comfortable while you rest.
Classic Calf Fit System (CFS™)
Tired of breeches bunching up under your boots? Ariat has you covered. The Tri Factor breeches feature their Calf Fit System (CFS™), offering a close and compressive fit beneath your riding boots. This comfortable technology also provides excellent support at the calf and ankle, alleviating pressure points and friction so you can ride for longer.
Core Control Technology™
With Ariat, you can rely on a smooth silhouette every time, starting with your breeches. The Core Control Technology gives you slimming support for a flattering fit and helps add stability to your core so you can sit up straighter in the saddle.
Hex silicone grip
Ariat’s patented hex silicone grip provides maximum staying power in the saddle, especially in the full-seat styles. While some competition breeches may feel like you could slip right out of the saddle, the Tri Factor hex silicone grip keeps you secure.
Ariat® V3® waistband panel
Ariat is known for its V3 waistband panel which allows for superior stretch and recovery. Riders enjoy the extra freedom of movement while still feeling supported in their core.

The Tri Factor EQ breeches are thoughtfully designed with cooling technology and without pockets or embellishments, allowing your performance to take center stage.

These breeches allow you to stay cool and focused.
3. Timeless elegance
The Tri Factor EQ Breeches are meticulously designed without the distraction of excessive pockets or flashy embellishments. These breeches embrace a classic aesthetic that resonates with traditional show attire.
