Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux DryTex Waterproof Breeches are designed for adult female riders who need reliable protection against wet and windy conditions. Their key benefit is superior weatherproofing combined with comfort for all-day wear. A minor caveat is that they are best suited for riders committed to winter riding due to their fleece lining. These breeches offer a combination of windproof, waterproof, and breathable materials, featuring a durable unique membrane, stretch fabric for freedom of movement, and a soft fleece lining for warmth. They are also abrasion and anti-pilling resistant, making them a practical choice for dedicated equestrians.

FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competitive riding?
Yes, their technical features such as waterproofing, breathability, and stretch make them suitable for many competitive disciplines, particularly in adverse weather conditions.
What does the waterproof rating of 10,000 mm mean?
A 10,000 mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000 mm of water in a test conducted over a 24-hour period. This is considered a good level of waterproofing for outdoor gear.
What is the MVP rating?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapour Permeability, rating how well the fabric allows water vapor (sweat) to escape. A rating of over 5,000 mvp means the breeches are reasonably breathable.
Can I wear these in summer?
Due to the soft fleece lining, they are primarily designed for cooler or wet weather. While breathable, they may be too warm for hot summer riding.
How do I ensure the stretch material lasts?
The stretch material is durable, but to maintain its elasticity, avoid excessive heat during drying (no tumble dryer or direct heat) and follow all washing instructions.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, LeMieux offers these breeches in various colors and sizes, often part of matching sets with other equestrian accessories.
What type of detergent should I use?
The care instructions specify using only non-organic washing products. Avoid detergents with optical brighteners or fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced after washing
Ensure you are using non-organic detergents and have followed the washing instructions precisely, especially turning the garment inside out and air drying.
Breeches feel too warm for activity
Consider these breeches best suited for colder weather or days with significant wind and rain. For warmer conditions, look for less insulated alternatives.
Fabric pilling or showing signs of wear
While designed to be anti-pilling and abrasion-resistant, avoid excessive friction with rough surfaces. Follow care instructions diligently to preserve the fabric's integrity.
