Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Freya Pro Breeches are designed for adult female riders seeking comfort and performance. Their key benefit is the combination of a supportive high waist, four-way stretch fabric, and full seat silicone grip for a secure and unrestricted ride. A potential consideration is that while made from durable fabric, the 'silk' materialization in the description may refer to the feel and drape rather than pure silk content, impacting breathability in very hot conditions.

FAQs
What material are the Freya Pro Breeches made from?
They are made from a soft, highly durable fabric with four-way stretch. The description mentions 'silk' which refers to the feel and drape, but it is not pure silk.
Are these breeches suitable for hot weather riding?
While comfortable and breathable due to the stretch fabric, they may not be the most ideal for extremely hot and humid conditions compared to lighter, more specialized summer breeches.
How do I ensure the silicone grip lasts?
Wash the breeches in cold water, inside out, and avoid high heat drying or harsh chemicals. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the silicone.
What is the purpose of the lowered side pockets?
The lowered side pockets are strategically placed to hold items like a mobile phone without interfering with the rider's position or movement in the saddle.
Can I wear these for competitions?
Yes, the sophisticated design with Lurex piping accents makes them suitable for many equestrian competitions, in addition to training.
Do the breeches have faux pockets?
Yes, the product description notes 'Faux pockets' in addition to the functional lowered side pockets.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The four-way stretch fabric offers flexibility, but proper sizing is key for comfort. Refer to the sizing chart.
Silicone grip appears to be wearing off.
This is typically due to incorrect washing methods. Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. Gentle washing and air drying will help preserve the grip.
Pockets feel uncomfortable or interfere with riding.
The pockets are designed to be lowered for minimal interference. Ensure your phone or item in the pocket is not bulky and sits flush against the leg.
