Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Drytex Waterproof Breeches in White are designed for adult female riders who need reliable protection against rain and wind during competition or regular riding. Their key benefit is providing waterproof and windproof performance while maintaining breathability and comfort, especially in colder weather due to the fleece lining. A potential caveat is their specific availability in White, which may require more frequent cleaning for competitive use. Key features include a waterproof and windproof construction, a breathable yet durable fabric, a unique membrane for water repellency, generous stretch for movement, and a cosy fleece lining for warmth.

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for all-day wear in the rain?

Yes, their waterproof and breathable design makes them suitable for extended wear in rainy conditions, offering protection and comfort.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart and choose your standard UK dress size. The generous stretch offers some flexibility, but a correct fit is key for comfort and performance.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

While breathable, the fleece lining is designed for warmth, making them most suitable for cooler to cold weather. They may be too warm for very hot conditions.

What is the waterproof rating in more detail?

The breeches have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, meaning they can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before it penetrates the fabric. The Moisture Vapour Permeability (MVP) is over 5000mvp, indicating good breathability.

How often should I re-waterproof the breeches?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Re-applying a reproofer when you notice water is no longer beading effectively is recommended, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Are there other color options available?

This specific model is available in White. Other Drytex breeches from LeMieux might be available in different colors like Beige or Black.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading off the fabric as effectively

The fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have diminished. Re-apply a suitable waterproof reproofer following product instructions.

Breeches feel less breathable

Check for blockages in the fabric's membrane. Ensure the breeches are clean and have been washed according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the membrane.

Fleece lining feels damp after washing

Ensure the breeches are not over-loaded in the washing machine and are spun appropriately. Hang to dry completely away from direct heat sources.
