FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for everyday riding?

While highly functional for performance riding, their advanced technical features make them particularly well-suited for training, schooling, and competitions. They can be used for everyday riding, but care should be taken to maintain their technical properties.

What does 'Full Seat' mean?

A full seat means that the seat of the breeches is reinforced with a gripping material (in this case, silicone) from the inner thigh all the way across the seat. This provides maximum stability and contact in the saddle.

How does ClimateTEK cooling technology work?

ClimateTEK is designed to dynamically respond to your body temperature. It helps to dissipate heat and keep you cool when you heat up, ensuring comfort during strenuous activity.

What is the Calf Fit System (CFS)?

The Calf Fit System provides a compressive and snug fit around the calf area, designed to reduce friction and provide support under boots. This helps ensure a smooth appearance and comfortable feel.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these breeches?

No, it is strongly recommended NOT to use fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can clog the technical fibers of the fabric, reducing the effectiveness of features like Moisture Movement Technology and ClimateTEK cooling.

What is the difference between these and standard breeches?

These breeches incorporate advanced technologies like ClimateTEK, compressive fabrication, and Core Control Technology, offering superior temperature regulation, support, and a more sculpted fit compared to standard riding breeches.

How should I care for the silicone grip?

The silicone grip is durable but should be cared for by following the recommended washing instructions, especially avoiding fabric softeners. Gentle washing and proper drying will help maintain its effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip is losing effectiveness

Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can degrade the grip. Check for excessive wear and tear.

Rider feels warm or sweaty

While designed for cooling, effectiveness can vary. Ensure other layers are breathable. Check that ClimateTEK technology is not compromised by improper washing (e.g., fabric softener use).

Breeches feel too tight

These breeches feature compressive fabrication for support. If a looser fit is preferred, consider ordering one size up. Ensure correct sizing was initially chosen based on measurements.

Stains are difficult to remove

The stain-repellent finish helps. For persistent stains, pre-treat with a stain remover suitable for technical fabrics before washing. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent temperature regulation with ClimateTEK technology.
  • Secure and stable ride due to the silicone grip full seat.
  • Comfortable and flexible fit from the stretch knit fabric.
  • Supportive and flattering fit with compressive and core control features.
  • Durable and easy to maintain with a stain-repellent finish.

Cons

  • May require specific washing instructions to preserve technology.
  • Silicone grip can wear over time with heavy use.
  • Fit might be very snug due to compressive nature, consider sizing up if preferred.
  • Primarily designed for riding, less suitable for casual wear.
  • Faux pockets may not offer practical storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These breeches require no complex setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. Compatibility is with standard equestrian attire and boots.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Wash inside out.
  2. Bleach: Do NOT use bleach.
  3. Fabric Softeners: Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the technical fabrics and reduce their effectiveness.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron.

Following these care instructions will help preserve the integrity of the ClimateTEK and Moisture Movement Technology, as well as the silicone grip.
