FAQs
Are these breeches machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable, but we recommend washing inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle.
Does the silicone grip wear off quickly?
With proper care and by avoiding abrasive detergents or heat drying, the silicone grip is designed to remain effective for a long time.
Is the fabric see-through?
The breeches are constructed from a mid-weight, high-quality knit designed to be opaque, even in white.
What is the benefit of the V3 panel?
The V3 panel provides extra stretch and recovery in the waistband, allowing the breech to move with you rather than pulling or gaping.
Can I wear these for long-distance trail riding?
Yes, the moisture-wicking and cooling technologies make them very comfortable for extended periods in the saddle.
Does the Calf Fit System work with short boots?
It is specifically designed for use under tall boots, but it provides a sleek fit that works well with chaps or half-chaps as well.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing traction
Wash the breeches inside out with minimal detergent to remove residue buildup and ensure they are thoroughly air-dried.
Waistband feeling too loose
The Ariat V3 panel is designed for recovery; if it remains stretched, ensure you are not using fabric softeners which can coat fibers and inhibit elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your breeches maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the waistband is snug but allows for natural breathing. The V-panel should lay flat against your lower back.
- Boots: Use the Calf Fit System by smoothing the fabric around the ankle before pulling on your tall boots to prevent friction points.
- Washing: Always turn the breeches inside out before washing to protect the silicone grip. Use a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry only. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the compression properties of the fabric and weaken the silicone adhesion.
