FAQs

Can these breeches be worn in winter?

While they are designed with a cooling effect for summer, they can be worn in cooler months if paired with a base layer underneath.

Does the cooling effect fade over time?

The cooling sensation is inherent to the fiber structure and should remain effective through regular wash cycles if care instructions are followed.

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

Yes, provided the color matches your specific discipline's dress code requirements.

Do the pockets hold a smartphone?

The front pockets are designed for small items like keys or treats; most modern smartphones may be too large for them.

What is the material composition?

These breeches are made from high-quality elasticated nylon.

Is the silicone grip durable?

Yes, the silicone is applied to withstand the friction associated with daily riding, provided the breeches are cared for according to the labels.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing tackiness

Ensure the breeches are washed inside out and avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the silicone and reduce its grip.

Breeches feel too tight during movement

Check that the size chosen matches your body measurements correctly, as the nylon material provides compression and may feel snugger than traditional loose-fitting riding pants.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated cooling effect helps regulate body temperature in summer
  • High-stretch nylon material provides excellent freedom of movement
  • Silicone patches offer superior grip compared to traditional suede or textile patches
  • Low-profile elastic ankles ensure comfort inside boots
  • Easy care requirements suitable for machine washing

Cons

  • Material feel may take adjustment for those accustomed to natural fibers
  • Silicone grip can feel quite 'sticky' for new riders
  • Limited to a knee-patch design, which may not offer enough security for some riders compared to full-seat styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the silicone grip and the cooling properties of the fabric, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the waistband is secured with a belt to prevent sliding. The nylon material is form-fitting, so select your standard UK dress size for the best results.
  2. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. Turn the breeches inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish and keep the silicone surface clean.
  3. Drying: These breeches are suitable for the dryer on a low-heat setting, though air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the elastic fibers.
  4. Compatibility: The elasticated ankle cuffs make these highly compatible with various styles of tall riding boots and half-chaps, providing a slim profile without extra bulk.
