FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
While they are designed for performance, their suitability for competition depends on your specific discipline's dress code; always check with your organization.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
No, it is best to avoid fabric softener as it can leave a residue on the technical fabric and the silicone patches, reducing their effectiveness.
Are they waterproof?
No, the HKM Tampa breeches are designed for breathability and comfort; they are not intended to be waterproof.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Compare your waist and leg measurements against the provided size chart, noting that these are designed for an adult fit.
What is the primary material?
These breeches are constructed from a technical blend, with some variants featuring nylon for added durability and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the breeches according to instructions to remove dust or fabric softener residue that may be inhibiting the grip.
Fabric feels too tight or loose
Verify the size label against the HKM size guide, as these breeches follow specific adult sizing which may differ from casual street wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HKM Tampa breeches maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Turn the breeches inside out to protect the silicone knee patches from abrasion.
- Drying: Air dry is recommended. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the elasticity and the adhesive of the silicone grips.
- Compatibility: These breeches are compatible with most standard equestrian footwear, including tall boots and half-chaps, thanks to the slim elastic ankle design.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding directly over the silicone patches for long periods to prevent them from sticking to themselves.
