FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for very cold weather?
The soft fleece lining provides warmth, making them suitable for cooler conditions. For extremely cold weather, consider layering with thermal base layers.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?
Follow the specific care instructions: wash inside out with non-organic detergents, avoid fabric softeners, do not tumble dry or use direct heat, and air dry. Proper care is crucial for maintaining the unique membrane's integrity.
Can I wear these for general outdoor activities, not just riding?
Yes, their waterproof, windproof, and breathable features make them suitable for various outdoor activities where weather protection is needed.
What does 'anti-pilling' mean for these breeches?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls of fiber (pills) on the surface, ensuring the breeches maintain a smooth appearance longer.
What is the benefit of the unique membrane?
The unique membrane is the core technology that provides the waterproof and breathable properties, keeping water out while allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The breeches should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for freedom of movement. They should not feel restrictive when you bend your knees or sit in a riding position. Refer to the size guide if available.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
No, it is recommended to use only non-organic washing products. Organic detergents can sometimes interfere with the performance of waterproof and breathable membranes.
Troubleshooting
Waterproof performance seems reduced.
Ensure you are using non-organic detergents and washing the breeches inside out. Residue from organic detergents or improper washing can affect the membrane's performance. Re-evaluate washing frequency; excessive washing can degrade the membrane over time.
Fleece lining feels damp after washing.
Ensure the breeches are air-drying completely and have not been exposed to direct heat or tumble drying, which can prevent proper drying. Allow adequate air circulation during the drying process.
Stiffness or discomfort after washing.
Iron at a very low temperature, ensuring the iron does not touch any printed logos. Excessive heat can damage the fabric and lining.
