FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for jumping or general riding?
While the silicone seat offers excellent grip beneficial for all disciplines, the high-waisted design and close contact fit are particularly favored by dressage riders. They are suitable for general riding as well.
How does the seamless inner leg benefit the rider?
The seamless inner leg eliminates friction and potential chafing points that can occur with traditional seams. This enhances comfort during long rides and allows for more sensitive delivery of leg aids without irritation.
What does 'reduced bulk between your lower leg and the horse' mean?
The lower leg section is designed with a finer sock-like material. This minimizes the thickness around the ankle and calf area, allowing for a closer, more accurate contact with the horse's sides and the saddle.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these breeches?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can damage the silicone seat and affect its grip properties.
What is the primary benefit of the silicone seat?
The primary benefit is enhanced security and stability in the saddle. The silicone molds to your leg and the saddle, providing a non-slip surface that helps you maintain position and control.
Why are there faux pockets?
The faux pockets are a design choice to reduce bulk around the hip area, contributing to a smoother, more streamlined silhouette. They do not offer practical storage.
What washing temperature is recommended?
The breeches should be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius.
Troubleshooting
Silicone seat losing grip
Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions. Fabric softener or excessive heat can damage the silicone's grip.
Discomfort from inner leg seam
Verify the correct size is being worn. The seamless design is intended to prevent this, but an incorrect fit can still cause issues.
Fabric appears transparent
Ensure the correct side is being worn outwards and that the fabric is not overstretched. The material is designed to remain reliably opaque.
Stains on breeches
Treat stains promptly according to fabric care guidelines. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach. Gentle detergent and a 30-degree wash are recommended.
