FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competitive riding?

While these breeches offer excellent protection and comfort, they are primarily designed for training and general riding in adverse weather. Check competition rules for specific attire requirements.

What is the waterproof rating (mm) and breathability rating (MVP)?

These breeches have a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm and a vapor permeability rating (MVP) of over 5,000 mvp.

Can I wear these in summer?

The fleece lining makes them best suited for cooler weather. While breathable, they may be too warm for summer riding.

How should I wash these breeches?

Machine wash inside out at 30°C with similar colors, using non-organic detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean. Air dry only.

Do they come in other colors or sizes?

This specific product is available in Beige and UK size 12. Other colors and sizes may be available under different product listings.

What does 'anti-pilling' mean?

Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated or constructed to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on the surface, helping the garment look newer for longer.

Can I use regular detergent?

No, it is recommended to use only non-organic washing products. Organic detergents can sometimes affect the waterproof membrane's performance.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

Ensure the breeches are washed according to care instructions, using only non-organic detergents and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade the waterproof membrane. Check for any damage to the fabric.

Breeches feel too warm.

These breeches are designed for cooler, wet weather. For warmer conditions, consider a lighter-weight, non-lined option. The breathability helps, but the fleece lining adds insulation.

Pilling or excessive wear after a short period.

While designed to be anti-pilling and abrasion-resistant, avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed to preserve the material.
