FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

These breeches are designed primarily for training and everyday riding in adverse weather conditions. While functional, they may not meet the aesthetic standards for all formal competitions.

What is the waterproof rating and what does it mean?

The breeches have a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, meaning they can withstand the pressure of a 10,000 mm water column before leaking. The MVP rating of over 5,000 mvp indicates good breathability.

Can I wear these in summer?

Due to the fleece lining and waterproof membrane, these breeches are best suited for autumn, winter, and early spring. They may be too warm for summer riding.

How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?

Proper care is essential. Always wash inside out with non-organic detergents, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and air dry. Do not tumble dry or iron directly on logos.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use only non-organic washing products. Specialized technical washes designed for outdoor gear are recommended. Avoid standard laundry detergents and fabric conditioners, as they can clog the membrane and reduce breathability and waterproofing.

Do these breeches have knee patches or full seat?

The provided product description does not specify the presence of knee patches or a full seat. Please refer to product images or specific retail listings for this detail.

What sizes are available?

The LeMieux Drytex Waterproof Breeches are available in various women's UK dress sizes, including UK 12 (as per the specific product listed) and other sizes such as UK 14, UK 16, and UK 6, in different color variations.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing seems reduced after washing.

Ensure you are using non-organic detergents and have followed the inside-out washing instructions. Avoid fabric conditioners. Consider a technical wash and reproofing treatment if performance has significantly degraded over time.

Breeches feel too warm for activity.

These breeches are designed for colder weather. For warmer conditions, consider a lighter, non-fleece-lined option. Ensure the garment is washed as per instructions, as build-up can affect breathability.

Material is pilling or showing signs of wear.

While designed to be abrasion-resistant, excessive rubbing against rough surfaces can still cause wear. Ensure correct washing (inside out) to minimize friction on the outer material. Check for any foreign objects in pockets or washing machine that could cause damage.
