FAQs
Are these breeches truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, meaning they can withstand significant water pressure and keep you dry in heavy rain.
Can I wear these in the summer?
While breathable, they are lined with fleece for warmth, making them best suited for cooler, wet weather. They may be too warm for summer riding.
How do I wash these breeches?
Machine wash inside out at 30 degrees with similar colors, using non-organic detergent only. Do not bleach or dry clean. Air dry away from heat.
What does MVP mean in the product description?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Permeability. A rating of over 5,000 mvp indicates good breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can men wear these breeches?
These breeches are designed with a female fit in mind. While sizing might overlap, the cut is tailored for women.
What is the benefit of the fleece lining?
The soft fleece lining provides insulation and retains heat, making the breeches comfortable and warm during cold weather riding.
What should I do if the fabric starts pilling?
The breeches are made with anti-pilling material, but if pilling occurs, ensure you are following the care instructions. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasion can help prevent this.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems reduced
Ensure you are using non-organic washing products and have followed the specific washing and drying instructions. Re-applying a suitable waterproofing treatment may also help.
Breeches feel too warm
These breeches are designed for cooler, wet weather. For warmer conditions, consider a more lightweight, breathable option.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure the breeches are fully air-dried away from direct heat. Ironing on a low setting, as per instructions, can help restore suppleness.
