FAQs
Are these jodhpurs suitable for extreme cold weather?
The jodhpurs feature a fleece lining for warmth and are waterproof and windproof, making them excellent for cold and wet conditions. For extreme cold, layering with a thermal base layer is recommended.
How do I wash these waterproof jodhpurs?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle using a technical wash solution for waterproof fabrics. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry.
What is the waterproof rating and breathability rating?
The jodhpurs have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a Moisture Vapour Permeability (MVP) rating of over 5000mvp.
Can I wear these in light rain or just heavy downpours?
Yes, they are designed for 'any weather,' so they are effective in both light rain and heavy downpours, as well as wind.
Do these jodhpurs have a lot of stretch?
Yes, they feature generous stretch to allow for unrestricted comfort and movement during riding.
How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jodhpurs?
Regular washing with a technical wash and occasional reapplication of a DWR treatment will help maintain the waterproof and breathable performance of the fabric.
Can these be used for activities other than riding?
While designed for riding, their waterproof and comfortable nature may make them suitable for other outdoor activities in inclement weather, though they are tailored for a riding fit.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the garment has been washed with a technical wash and that the DWR finish has not worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy.
Clean the garment thoroughly with a technical wash to remove any residue or contaminants that may be blocking the membrane's pores. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Fleece lining feels heavy or retains too much moisture.
This can occur in very humid conditions. Ensure the garment is clean and properly dried. For very cold conditions, consider layering appropriate base layers underneath.
Pilling or abrasion marks appearing.
While designed to be abrasion-resistant, prolonged rubbing against rough surfaces can still cause pilling. Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded and avoid washing with items that have abrasive surfaces like zippers or Velcro.

Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash solution specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can clog the membrane pores and degrade the waterproof finish.
