FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes, the clean white design makes them appropriate for show ring use in disciplines that require traditional white breeches.
Do the silicone grips wear off?
While the silicone is durable, it will experience natural wear over time. Following care instructions like washing inside out will maximize their lifespan.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is strongly recommended to air dry them to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the silicone prints.
What is the sizing like?
The breeches are designed with a stretch-fit, but they adhere to standard equestrian sizing. Refer to the size guide to match your specific UK measurements.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The zip hip pockets are designed for small essentials. While they are secure, larger modern smartphones may not fit comfortably.
Are these breeches water-resistant?
These are performance-oriented breeches designed for breathability and are not intended to be waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing traction
Wash the breeches inside out using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can build up on the silicone and cause it to become slick.
Fabric staining
For the white variant, spot-treat any dirt or stable marks immediately with a stain remover formulated for synthetic fabrics before putting them in the wash.
Breeches feel too tight around the waist
Ensure you are using the belt loops to adjust the fit properly or consider checking against the size guide, as the stretch fabric may fit differently depending on individual body shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires Aubrion Thompson Breeches maintain their integrity, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. Always wash the breeches inside out on a cool, gentle cycle to protect the silicone knee print from abrasive friction. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can coat the silicone and reduce its grip effectiveness over time. Line drying is recommended, as high heat from tumble dryers can degrade the elasticity of the performance fabric. When dressing for a ride, ensure the stretch lower leg cuffs are pulled smooth and wrinkle-free before sliding on your boots to prevent pressure points.
