Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ariat breeches, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist. The V3 technology should flex to your frame; if you feel excess pressure, check your size against the specific waist measurement.
- Compatibility: The Calf Fit System is designed specifically for standard tall boots or half-chaps; avoid wearing thick, bulky socks underneath to maintain the intended compression fit.
- Washing: Turn the breeches inside out before washing to protect the silicone grip patterns and the metallic buttons. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the cooling properties of the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry only. High heat from a tumble dryer can cause the silicone to lose its tackiness and potentially shrink the high-stretch nylon fibers.
