Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Young Rider Stormwear Waterproof Chaps are designed for young equestrians who need to stay warm, dry, and comfortable during winter riding. Their key benefit is providing full waterproof protection and thermal insulation without compromising on rider mobility. A potential caveat is that unisex sizing may require careful measurement to ensure the best fit for individual riders. These chaps offer a durable, breathable solution for wet and cold weather conditions.

FAQs

Are these chaps suitable for all riding disciplines?

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

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

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.

Can these chaps be worn over jeans?

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

What is the waterproof rating?

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

How do I clean the waterproof zip pocket?

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.

Will these chaps make my child overheat?

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.

How do I re-apply the DWR treatment?

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.

Troubleshooting

Chaps feel tight or restrictive

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

Water seeping through despite being waterproof

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.

Silicone grips losing effectiveness

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

Chaps are not breathable and feel clammy

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathability ratings for optimal comfort in wet weather.
  • Thermal fleece lining provides significant warmth for cold conditions.
  • Durable reinforcement in key areas extends the product's lifespan.
  • Adjustable features ensure a secure and customized fit for various body types.
  • Integrated safety features like reflective details enhance visibility.

Cons

  • Unisex sizing may require precise measurements for an accurate fit.
  • While durable, extreme abrasion could potentially wear down the reinforced areas over time.
  • The fleece lining, while warm, might be too warm for milder wet conditions.
  • Silicone grips may require occasional cleaning to maintain maximum effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The chaps are designed for immediate use. Simply put them on over your riding trousers and secure the adjustable waistband and boot straps for a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure the silicone knee grips align correctly for optimal performance.

Compatibility: These chaps are designed to be worn over standard riding breeches or jeans. They are compatible with most equestrian footwear, with adjustable straps accommodating various boot styles.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as this can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can compromise the fabric's performance.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the waterproof zip and clean it gently. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the fabric's water-beading ability diminishes significantly after multiple washes, following the product's specific instructions.
