FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

While designed for performance and protection, their primary function is for training and riding in adverse weather. Always check specific competition rules regarding permitted attire.

How waterproof are these breeches?

They have a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, which is considered suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

How breathable are they?

They feature a vapor permeability rating (MVP) of over 5,000 mvp, indicating good breathability for active use.

Can I wear them in hot weather?

Due to the fleece lining, they are best suited for cooler or cold weather. In warmer conditions, the breathability might not be sufficient to prevent overheating.

How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?

Follow the care instructions meticulously: wash inside out at 30 degrees with non-organic detergent, air dry, and iron on low heat. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

What does 'anti-pilling' mean for the material?

Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small fuzzy balls on the surface, helping the breeches maintain a smooth appearance longer.

What size should I choose?

Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart for women's UK dress sizes to find the best fit for you.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the fabric surface.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying according to product instructions. Ensure you are using non-organic washing products.

Breeches feel clammy or damp inside during exercise.

This could indicate the breathability is being compromised. Ensure the garment was washed correctly (inside out, non-organic detergent) and that no residue is blocking the membrane. Check for physical damage to the membrane.

Fabric has lost its softness or stretch.

This may be due to incorrect washing or drying methods. Avoid high heat, tumble drying, and harsh detergents. Ensure the garment is air-dried and ironed at a low temperature.

Seams appear to be leaking water.

While the fabric is waterproof, taped seams are crucial for full waterproofness. Check if the specific model has taped seams. If leaks persist at seams, contact customer support.
