FAQs
What makes the Freya Pro Breeches different from the original Freya style?
The Freya Pro Breeches feature an updated full seat silicone grip with smart LeMieux branding and Lurex piping for added luxury. They are crafted from the same soft and durable four-way stretch fabric.
Are these breeches suitable for all riding disciplines?
Yes, the four-way stretch fabric, full seat silicone grip, and supportive high waist make them suitable for various disciplines including dressage, show jumping, and general hacking.
How should I wash the silicone grip to ensure it lasts?
To preserve the silicone grip, always wash the breeches inside out at up to 30 degrees Celsius with similar colors, using only non-organic detergents. Air dry only and avoid tumble drying or direct heat.
Can I wear these breeches in hot weather?
The four-way stretch fabric offers breathability, but the high waist and full seat design might make them feel warmer compared to very lightweight, low-rise breeches. They are generally comfortable for most riding conditions.
What is the purpose of the Lurex piping?
The Lurex piping is a decorative element that adds a subtle sparkle and a touch of luxury to the breeches, particularly around the pocket edges.
What size dress size do these breeches correspond to?
These are UK women's dress size 18.
Do the breeches have pockets?
Yes, the description mentions Lurex piping around pocket edges, indicating the presence of pockets.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing chart against your measurements. If the size is correct, the 'breaking in' period for the fabric may require a few wears for them to fully conform to your body.
Silicone grip is losing effectiveness
Ensure the breeches are washed according to the care instructions, especially turning them inside out and using non-organic detergents. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the silicone's grip. Ensure no residual oils or dirt are present on the grip areas.
Stitching appears loose or damaged
Inspect the garment for any obvious damage. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them without cutting the main seam. For significant damage, consider professional repair or contacting customer support if within warranty.
Fabric shows signs of excessive wear after a short period
Review your washing and drying methods, ensuring they strictly adhere to the care instructions. Avoid tumble drying or excessive heat, and limit exposure to abrasive surfaces when not riding.
