FAQs

What is the main advantage of the silicone seat?

The full silicone seat provides exceptional grip and stability in the saddle, helping riders maintain a secure position and apply aids more effectively, which is particularly beneficial for dressage.

Are these breeches suitable for jumping or other disciplines?

While they offer excellent grip, their design is optimized for dressage. Riders in other disciplines may prefer breeches with different features, but they can certainly be used for general riding and training.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the LeMieux sizing guide and measure your waist and inseam. The high-waisted design should sit comfortably at your natural waist.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these breeches?

No, it is crucial not to use fabric softener. Fabric softener can degrade the silicone grip of the seat and affect the fabric's performance and breathability.

What makes the 'close-contact cut' beneficial?

The innovative close-contact cut eliminates the seam on the inside of the leg. This reduces bulk and allows for a more sensitive feel between the rider's leg and the horse, facilitating finer communication.

How should I care for the silk material?

The silk material is part of the breeches' lightweight and breathable fabric. Follow the specific care instructions: machine wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with a gentle detergent, and avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Do the faux pockets serve any purpose?

The faux pockets are a design element to create a streamlined and tidy silhouette by reducing external bulk, contributing to the breeches' elegant appearance.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the LeMieux sizing chart and compare with your measurements. Ensure you are measuring accurately, particularly for waist and inseam.

Silicone seat losing grip over time

Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions, especially avoiding fabric softener, which can degrade the silicone. Wash inside out to protect the seat.

Fabric feels less breathable than expected

Verify that no fabric softener or harsh detergents have been used, as these can clog the fabric's pores. Ensure the care label instructions are strictly followed.

Stitching appears to be fraying

Check care label to ensure washing is done on a gentle cycle. Avoid excessive agitation and ensure the garment is not overcrowded in the washing machine.
