LeMieux Young Rider Stormwear Waterproof Chaps - Black

Yes, their design focuses on comfort, warmth, and protection, making them suitable for general riding, schooling, and hacking in various weather conditions.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by LeMieux, typically based on waist and leg measurements. As these are unisex, measuring is key to achieving a good fit.

Yes, they are designed to be worn over riding breeches or other trousers, including jeans, offering a flexible layering option.

The chaps have a waterproof rating of 5000mm, meaning they can withstand a significant amount of water pressure and are suitable for heavy rain.

The pocket itself is waterproof; to clean, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the zip is closed when cleaning to prevent water ingress.

While they feature a thermal fleece lining for warmth, the fabric is also breathable (4000mvp). For very warm, wet days, they might be warmer than needed, but for typical cold, wet conditions, they provide excellent temperature regulation.

Follow the instructions on the specific DWR product you purchase. Generally, it involves washing the garment, applying the treatment, and then tumble drying on a low heat or air drying to activate.

Adjust the waistband and boot straps for a more comfortable fit. Ensure they are worn over appropriate riding attire and not overly bulky layers.

Check that all zips are fully closed and that seams are intact. The DWR coating may need refreshing if water is no longer beading on the surface. Ensure the chaps are correctly sized.

Gently wipe the silicone grip areas with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that may be hindering their grip.

Ensure the inner fleece lining is not overly saturated. Allow the chaps to air dry completely after use. For very mild, wet conditions, consider if the fleece lining is appropriate.
