Hi, my name is Cyrus Confectioner, Secretary of the Calcutta Polo Club. As I was introducing you to the equipment which players use and which is required to play the game. There are known as Polo Breeches. It's very similar to any type of pant; except that it's not full length. It comes a little bit below the knees. It's basically a very soft material which helps the body to remain cool during the game and it's also where the protective gear on its insides. As you will see, this, it's an extra padding on the inside of the foot so that when you're on the horse, the rubbing on the horse doesn't cause any discomfort to the or to the rider. It's like any other shorts, they are available in different sizes, different colors; not necessarily only this color and it's basically a shorts which makes riding and playing Polo more comfortable. It's got an opening, Velcro adjustment; so depending on the size of the leg, you can close the tape. It's just a smart trouser which one requires when playing a smart game. Thank you.
