FAQs
Who are these breeches designed for?
The LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches are specifically designed for adult female dressage riders.
What is the main benefit of the silicone seat?
The full silicone seat provides enhanced grip and stability in the saddle, offering a secure and close-contact feel.
Can these breeches be worn for other riding disciplines?
While designed with dressage in mind, their grip and comfort features can be beneficial for other disciplines, though the specific fit and features are optimized for dressage.
How should I wash these breeches?
Machine wash at 30 degrees, inside out, separately, using a gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What does 'close-contact fit' mean for the inner leg?
It means there is no seam on the inside of the leg, which reduces bulk and potential friction, allowing for more sensitive communication with the horse.
Do the faux pockets provide any storage?
No, the faux pockets are a design element to maintain a tidy silhouette and do not offer storage.
What sizes are available?
These breeches are available in various UK sizes for women, including size 10 in Blue.
Troubleshooting
Silicone seat losing grip
Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions, using a gentle detergent and no fabric softener, as residue can reduce grip.
Discomfort from seamless inner leg
This feature is designed for close contact; allow a short break-in period for your legs to adjust to the smooth feel.
Fabric appears less opaque after washing
Verify that the breeches were washed inside out and with a gentle detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals or high heat during washing.
