FAQs
Who are these breeches designed for?
The LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches are designed for adult female riders, particularly those who compete in or train for dressage, and value a secure seat and elegant appearance.
What is the main advantage of the silicone seat?
The full silicone seat provides superior grip and stability in the saddle, minimizing rider movement and enhancing security, which is crucial for precise communication with the horse.
How do I wash my LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius, inside out, and separately. Use a gentle detergent and do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Do not dry clean.
Can I wear these for everyday schooling?
Yes, while designed with competition in mind, they are functional for everyday schooling. However, some riders may prefer a less intense grip for casual riding.
Are there real pockets on these breeches?
No, these breeches feature faux pockets designed to maintain a sleek, tidy silhouette and reduce bulk, especially when worn with a competition jacket.
What makes the leg fit 'close-contact'?
The design minimizes seams on the inside of the leg and uses a fine sock in the lower leg area. This reduces bulk between your leg and the horse, allowing for more sensitive aids and a streamlined look.
What is the material of the breeches?
The material is a lightweight and breathable fabric, designed to remain reliably opaque while offering comfort.
Troubleshooting
Silicone seat loses grip over time.
Ensure you are washing the breeches with a gentle detergent and avoiding fabric softener. Check that no residue from saddle soap or other products is accumulating on the silicone.
Fabric feels less breathable after washing.
Confirm that you are not using fabric softener, which can clog the fabric's pores. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
Seams feel uncomfortable or cause chafing.
While designed for minimal seams, ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thin riding socks that extend above the breeches' sock cuff.
Breeches appear see-through after wear.
This is unlikely if cared for correctly, as the fabric is designed to remain opaque. Re-check care instructions and ensure no harsh chemicals have been used.
