Product Information
Full details
The Shires Aubrion Thompson Breeches are designed for the dedicated adult equestrian rider who prioritizes both comfort and a polished aesthetic in the saddle. Constructed from a lightweight, high-stretch performance fabric, these breeches facilitate a full range of motion while providing the stability needed for technical riding through their matte silicone knee grips. While they offer excellent functionality and a flattering fit, users should note that the white colorway requires careful maintenance and specialized cleaning to keep them looking pristine for competitive events.

FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes, the white colourway and professional cut make these an excellent choice for showing and competitive events.
Do the breeches provide full-seat security?
No, these breeches feature silicone knee grips, which are designed for stability at the knee rather than the full seat.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These breeches are available in various waist sizes. Use a measuring tape to find your natural waist measurement and compare it against the sizing chart to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
Can I use these for daily schooling?
While the fabric is durable, the white color is best kept for competition or light indoor training to prevent excessive dirt accumulation.
Are the pockets large enough for a phone?
The zip pockets are intended for small essentials like keys or barn cards; most modern smartphones may be too large to fit securely.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grips losing stickiness
Wash the breeches inside out in cold water without fabric softener and ensure they are air-dried completely.
Fabric staining
Pre-treat stains with an equestrian-safe stain remover immediately after use and wash promptly to avoid permanent discoloration of the white fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your breeches, follow these maintenance guidelines. Always wash inside out on a cool, gentle cycle to protect the silicone knee grips from excessive friction. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the performance fibers and reduce the efficacy of the grip over time. Air dry the breeches away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from losing its elasticity. These breeches are compatible with standard tall boots and half chaps, with the stretch lower leg cuffs designed to sit flat against your skin, eliminating pressure points inside your footwear.
