Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches are designed for adult female dressage riders seeking enhanced stability and comfort. Their key benefit is the full silicone seat that provides superior grip and security in the saddle, ensuring a close-contact feel. A potential caveat for some users might be the high-waisted design, which may not suit all preferences. These breeches feature a lightweight, breathable, and opaque fabric, a close-contact cut without inner leg seams for better aid transmission, and a flattering silhouette with a heart-shaped back and notched waistband.

FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for jumping?
While the LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches offer excellent grip, they are primarily designed with dressage in mind due to their high-waisted design and close-contact cut. They can be used for jumping, but riders may prefer breeches with a different cut or grip pattern specifically for that discipline.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Please consult the LeMieux sizing chart available on our website. Measure your waist and inseam carefully and compare them to the chart to find your best fit.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can degrade the silicone seat's grip and affect the fabric's performance.
What does 'close-contact cut' mean?
The close-contact cut refers to a design that minimizes seams and bulk, particularly on the inner leg, to allow for more sensitive communication and a closer feel between the rider's leg and the horse.
How durable is the silicone seat?
The silicone seat is designed for durability and grip. Proper care and washing, as outlined in the guide, will ensure its longevity and effectiveness.
Can men wear these breeches?
These breeches are designed for women, indicated by the sizing and specific design features like the heart-shaped back cut. There are separate models available for men.
Are the faux pockets functional?
No, the pockets are faux and purely for aesthetic purposes, designed to create a smooth silhouette without adding bulk.
Troubleshooting
Silicone seat losing grip
Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions. Fabric softeners and incorrect washing can affect silicone adhesion. Avoid over-drying.
Fabric feels less breathable over time
Clean the breeches thoroughly following care guidelines. Residue from detergents or sweat can affect breathability. Ensure you are using a gentle, suitable detergent.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on waist and leg measurements. Minor variations can occur between sizes.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect the garment for any damage. If stitching is minor, it may be repairable by a professional tailor. Contact customer support if the issue is significant and falls within warranty.
