FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

Yes, they are engineered to comply with GB affiliated competition regulations.

Do these have a full seat or knee patches?

This model features a full seat and leg grip in a matte silicone print.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, it is highly recommended to air dry them to prevent heat damage to the silicone grips and technical fabric.

Do the pockets have zippers?

The breeches feature open front pockets and rear faux welt pockets; they do not have zippers on the pockets.

How should I determine my size?

These are sized by UK men's waist measurements; consider your usual trouser size while allowing for the athletic, tapered fit.

Are they suitable for everyday yard work?

While durable, the technical fabric and silicone grip are specifically optimized for saddle performance rather than heavy manual labour.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing tackiness

Ensure the breeches are washed inside out and avoid all fabric softeners, as residue can coat the silicone and reduce its grip.

Fabric appearing damp during long sessions

Ensure you are using the breeches without additional heavy base layers that may trap heat and moisture against the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management for warm training days
  • Secure full-seat silicone grip
  • Complies with official competition regulations
  • Polished, classic aesthetic
  • Durable, quick-drying performance fabric

Cons

  • Requires careful washing to protect silicone grips
  • Faux pockets may be less practical than functional ones
  • Slim athletic fit may require precise sizing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your breeches, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Turn the breeches inside out before placing them in the machine to protect the silicone grips.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the moisture-wicking fabric and the silicone.
  3. Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as the heat will damage the silicone grip and compromise the elastic integrity of the fabric.
  4. Compatibility: These breeches are designed to fit standard equestrian boots and provide a secure, streamlined profile when tucked into tall boots or paired with chaps.
