FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for professional competitions?

Yes, they are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition regulations.

What is the primary benefit of the MX-KG style?

The KG version specifically features full seat and leg grips in a matte silicone print for improved security in the saddle.

Can I put these breeches in the tumble dryer?

No, tumble drying can damage the technical fabric and the silicone grip. Always air dry.

Do the breeches provide a secure fit?

Yes, they feature twin slide fastenings and a zip fly for a traditional, secure closure.

Are the pockets functional?

The front pockets are functional and open, while the rear pockets are faux designs intended for style.

Are these suitable for all-season use?

The moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties make them highly versatile, though you may need a base layer in extreme winter temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing tackiness

Wash the garment inside out in cold water to remove dust and debris that may have collected on the silicone print.

Fabric appearing damp after intense work

Ensure you are not layering with non-breathable base layers underneath, as the breeches rely on moisture-wicking airflow to function correctly.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your breeches maintain their performance properties and grip, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (30 degrees Celsius) using a gentle cycle. Always turn the breeches inside out to protect the silicone grip from abrasion.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the efficacy of the silicone grip.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause the technical fabrics and silicone to warp or peel.
  4. Compatibility: These breeches are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition regulations and are suitable for use with standard equestrian boots and belts.
