FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
While the Emma line is perfect for training, please check your local competition rulebook regarding allowed colors and seat textures.
Does the phone pocket fit large smartphones?
The pocket is sized for most standard modern smartphones, though very large 'Plus' or 'Pro Max' models may feel snug.
Are these breeches waterproof?
No, they are made from polyester and are not waterproof or water-resistant.
Can I use these for jumping?
Yes, the full seat provides excellent security, though some jumpers prefer knee-patch styles for more freedom of movement.
How do I determine my size?
Consult the brand-specific sizing chart using your waist measurements, as sizing can vary between international brands.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip becoming less effective
Wash the breeches inside out without fabric softener and ensure no residue from previous washes remains on the seat.
Fabric losing elasticity
Avoid tumble drying; heat exposure is the primary cause of elastic degradation in polyester blends.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip provided by the silicone full seat
- Highly flexible bi-elastic material offers unrestricted movement
- Functional side pocket for secure phone storage
- Elastic ankle cuffs ensure comfort under long boots
Cons

- Specific sizing requires careful measurement to ensure the correct fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, machine wash the breeches in cool water (max 30°C) with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the silicone grip and reduce the elasticity of the fabric. Always turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the silicone print. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can compromise the material structure. These breeches are compatible with most standard equestrian footwear, particularly tall boots and half-chaps, due to the slim elastic ankle design.
