FAQs
What material are the Equetech Foxhunter Hybrid Breeches made from?
They are made from a blend of 70% nylon, 23% cotton, and 7% spandex, featuring suede knee patches and a fleece lining.
Are these breeches suitable for all seasons?
The fleece lining makes them particularly suitable for cooler weather. For very hot temperatures, they might be warmer than preferred, but the stretch fabrics still offer breathability.
How do I best care for the suede knee patches?
Avoid fabric softeners during washing. After drying, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to maintain its texture and grip. Specialist suede cleaners can be used sparingly for stains.
Do these breeches offer good grip?
Yes, the suede knee patches are specifically designed to provide enhanced grip and stability in the saddle.
What is the main benefit of the high waist design?
The high waist design offers increased comfort, a secure fit, and additional support during riding, preventing the breeches from slipping.
Can I wear these for disciplines other than hunting?
Yes, while designed for hunting, their comfort, stretch, and support make them suitable for various equestrian activities, including competition and general riding.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart. The multi-directional stretch allows for movement, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort.
Suede knee patches are stiff or losing grip after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener. After washing and air-drying, gently brush the suede patches with a suede brush to restore their texture and grip.
Fleece lining feels too warm for riding.
These breeches are designed with a fleece lining for warmth. For warmer weather, consider a lighter-weight technical breech without the fleece lining.
Seams feel uncomfortable during wear.
Ensure the breeches are correctly positioned. The high waist design should provide a secure fit. If discomfort persists, check for any internal labels or rough stitching that may need attention.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your breeches, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F). Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric and affect the suede.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry the breeches away from direct heat or sunlight. This helps to preserve the fabric's integrity and the suede's texture.
- Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on the suede knee patches.
- Suede Care: For stubborn marks on the suede, a specialist suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Brushing the suede gently with a suede brush can help maintain its nap after washing.
