FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?

How do the elastic ankles fit with tall boots?
The elastic ankle cuffs are designed to be low-profile, preventing bulk and ensuring a smooth transition inside tall riding boots.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these breeches to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the silicone knee patches.
What is the primary material used?
The breeches are made from a breathable, high-performance nylon blend that offers a cooling effect.

These specific breeches feature a silicone knee patch design for targeted grip.
How do I choose the right size?

Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the garment inside out and avoid fabric softeners, which leave residue that masks the grip.
Fabric feels restrictive
Ensure you are using the correct size; while elastic, the fabric is designed for a compressive, secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HKM Tampa breeches, it is recommended to wash them in cold water inside out to protect the silicone grip from friction damage. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical properties of the breathable fabric. The elastic ankles are designed to be compatible with most standard tall riding boots. When putting them on, ensure the fabric is smoothed out to prevent bunching inside the boot shaft, which could lead to chafing during long rides.
