Forged on the Gallops, Proven in the Dust: The Safari Standard
The magic of finding your own path.
The Magic of the Long Ride
There is a specific kind of magic found only on a riding holiday. Whether you are tracking buffalo at sunrise on open plains or riding through golden dunes as the light softens, something shifts. Time slows, and the world narrows to hoofbeats and the horizon.
It isn’t just travel; it’s immersion, partnership, and freedom measured in miles. But when you ride like that—for five hours at a time across terrain that demands balance and stamina—what you wear matters. Not for fashion, but for function and freedom.
The Safari Standard: Long hours call for gear that works as hard as you do.
Forged on the Gallops
The Duvall 150 and Duvall 140 weren’t designed in a boardroom; they were forged on the gallops. They were built by riders who understand that a riding holiday is not a photoshoot. It involves:
-
Long mornings in the heat and dust.
-
Challenging terrain with unexpected footing.
-
Active movement, from dismounting to lead to remounting without fuss.
-
Saddle hours that test every single seam.
Proof of performance in any condition.
Built for the Hours That Matter
On safari, comfort becomes performance. You are not riding for a 45-minute lesson; you are riding for five hours. The Duvall range delivers a "Safari Standard" through:
-
Four-way stretch that follows every stride without restriction.
-
Structure and support that stays consistent from first mount to final dismount.
-
Technical fabric that holds its shape, even after full days under the sun, wind, or rain.
-
Maximum breathability that works as hard as you do.
Choosing Your Safari Standard: 140 vs. 150
Both models are built from the same high-performance DNA, designed to withstand the rigors of the bush while maintaining a professional silhouette. The choice comes down to your preference for saddle contact and seat type:
| Model | Seat Detail | Best For |
| Duvall 150 | Full Seat | Riders who prefer maximum stability and a consistent grip throughout long hours in the saddle. |
| Duvall 140 | Knee & Seat Patches | Riders seeking a traditional feel with targeted protection where it’s needed most. |

Both are safari standard. Because real riding holidays demand real riding gear. Forged on the gallops, proven wherever you choose to ride next.
Track wildlife with the quiet confidence of technical performance.
