FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for winter riding?
They are specifically designed with a cooling effect, making them best suited for spring and summer; they may not provide sufficient warmth in freezing temperatures.
Do these have a full seat or knee patches?
This model features silicone knee patches specifically.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, they are suitable for the dryer, but using a low-heat setting is recommended to protect the fabric elasticity.
What material are the breeches made from?
They are constructed from a performance-grade, elastic nylon blend.
How do the sizing options work?
These are sized based on standard UK dress sizes; check the sizing chart to ensure the correct fit for your waist and hip measurements.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
The fabric is designed to be comfortable and breathable; however, as with all synthetic blends, ensure they are washed before first wear if you have known fabric sensitivities.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip becoming less effective
Wash the breeches inside out at 30 degrees and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the silicone and reduce its grip.
Fabric feels too loose during riding
Ensure the breeches are not being dried on high heat, which can damage the elastic properties of the nylon blend over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HKM Tampa breeches, always follow the care label instructions. They are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius and are suitable for low-heat tumble drying. Avoid using strong fabric softeners as these can degrade the elasticity of the nylon and the effectiveness of the silicone grip. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK dress size to prevent unnecessary stress on the seams. When putting them on, be careful not to catch the silicone patches on jewelry or sharp hardware to prevent peeling.
