FAQs

Can these breeches be worn in winter?

While the material is cooling, they can be worn in winter if paired with a base layer underneath, though they are optimized for warmer temperatures.

Do the silicone patches peel off?

When washed properly at 30 degrees and dried on low heat, the silicone is durable and resistant to peeling.

Are these suitable for formal competition?

Depending on the color and local federation rules, these can be suitable for schooling and some lower-level competitions.

How do I choose the right size?

The breeches are sized in UK dress standards. Refer to the specific sizing label and ensure they fit snugly but allow for full range of motion.

Is the nylon material durable?

Yes, nylon is chosen specifically for its high abrasion resistance and longevity, making it excellent for equestrian sports.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip feels slippery

Ensure the breeches are clean; dirt and dust can accumulate on silicone, reducing grip. Wash according to instructions.

Breeches feel too tight around the calf

Check that the elastic ankle is not twisted inside your boots; straighten the fabric before pulling the boot on.

Cooling effect seems diminished

Ensure you are not using heavy fabric softeners during laundry, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the cooling technology.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective cooling effect for summer comfort
  • Excellent grip provided by silicone knee patches
  • Highly breathable and flexible nylon construction
  • Machine washable and dryer safe for easy maintenance
  • Low-profile elastic ankles perfect for riding boots

Cons

  • Specific nylon feel may be less preferred by fans of cotton-based breeches
  • Limited to knee patch functionality rather than full-seat coverage
  • Only available in select colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your HKM Tampa breeches remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the breeches are pulled up properly to align the silicone knee patches with your contact points on the saddle. Use the belt loops for an added secure fit if required.
  2. Compatibility: These are compatible with standard tall boots and half-chaps. The slim-line ankle design is specifically intended to prevent chafing.
  3. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the performance of the cooling fabric and the tackiness of the silicone grips.
  4. Drying: These breeches are suitable for tumble drying on a low-heat setting, making them convenient for daily riders.
