FAQs

Are these jodhpurs suitable for men?

These specific jodhpurs are designed for adult female riders and tailored to women's sizing.

What is the waterproof rating and breathability rating?

They have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a Moisture Vapour Permeability (MVP) rating of more than 5000mvp.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these jodhpurs?

No, fabric softeners and biological detergents should be avoided as they can damage the waterproof membrane and reduce performance.

How often should I re-proof the jodhpurs?

Re-proofing is recommended periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, to maintain optimal waterproof performance.

Are these warm enough for very cold winter riding?

Yes, the soft fleece lining is designed to retain warmth, making them suitable for colder riding conditions. The waterproof and windproof features also contribute to thermal regulation.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a technical wash or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and biological agents.

How do I check if the waterproofing needs refreshing?

Observe if water still beads and rolls off the fabric. If water starts to soak in and the fabric darkens, it's time to re-apply a waterproofing treatment.

Troubleshooting

Jodhpurs feel damp inside after riding in the rain.

Ensure the garment was washed correctly with appropriate detergent and that the waterproof membrane is intact. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment if performance has diminished.

Pilling or excessive wear is visible.

While designed to be anti-piling, excessive friction can still cause wear. Ensure there are no rough surfaces rubbing against the breeches during riding or stable work. Follow washing instructions carefully to prevent damage.

Water is soaking through the fabric, not beading.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jodhpurs thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment as per the product instructions.

Fleece lining feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece lining is clean and dry. Trapped moisture can reduce insulation. Check for any damage to the lining.

Care:

To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the Drytex fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a technical wash or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents, as these can damage the membrane.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Do not bleach or dry clean.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, re-proof the jodhpurs periodically using a suitable spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor wear.
