FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for all riding disciplines?

Yes, the Rhinegold Pro Stretch Breeches are designed to be versatile and are suitable for a wide range of disciplines, from training and schooling to competition. The hybrid design offers flexibility and support.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Rhinegold sizing chart available with the product details. Measure your waist and hips to find the corresponding UK dress size. The wide stretch waistband also offers some adjustability.

Will the silicone seat snag on my saddle?

The silicone is designed to provide grip without damaging saddle leather. However, as with any new grip material, it's advisable to check your saddle after the first few rides to ensure no excessive friction occurs.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

Yes, the fabric is described as breathable and lightweight, making them suitable for riding in warmer conditions. However, intense heat may still lead to some discomfort depending on individual tolerance.

What is the difference between these and traditional riding tights?

These breeches offer more structure and traditional styling than typical riding tights, while retaining a high level of stretch and comfort. They feature reinforced areas and a more substantial waistband.

How durable is the silicone seat?

The silicone seat is designed for durability with regular riding. Proper care, as outlined in the care instructions, is essential to maintain its grip and integrity over time. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat during washing and drying.

Do the rear pockets have closures?

No, the rear pockets are decorative (faux pockets) and do not have closures.

Troubleshooting

Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a size up, as individual fit can vary.

Silicone seat is losing grip.

Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. The grip may naturally decrease over extended periods of heavy use.

Waistband closure feels loose.

Check that both clips on the double clip closure are securely fastened. If the elastic has stretched significantly over time, it may require replacement, though this is uncommon with proper care.

Zipper on hip pocket is stiff.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colors.

  5. Silicone Seat Care: After washing, ensure the silicone seat is dry before storing to maintain its grip.
