Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches are designed for adult female riders seeking enhanced security and stability in the saddle, particularly dressage riders. Their key benefit is the full silicone seat, which provides superior grip. A potential caveat is their specific design for close-contact, which might be a preference rather than a universal need. These breeches feature a high-waisted design, innovative close-contact cut, lightweight and breathable fabric that remains opaque, and a minimised bulk lower leg. They also incorporate flattering design elements like a heart-shaped rear cut and a notched back waist, along with false pocket detailing for a sleek silhouette.

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for jumping?

While the silicone seat provides excellent grip, these breeches are specifically designed with a close-contact cut and features ideal for dressage. They can be used for jumping, but riders may prefer breeches with a more traditional seat for that discipline.

How do I ensure the silicone seat lasts?

To maintain the silicone seat's grip and longevity, always wash the breeches inside out on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying on high heat, opting for low heat or air drying instead.

What makes the lower leg 'minimised bulk'?

The breeches feature the smallest sock design on the lower leg, which significantly reduces material bulk. This allows for a closer feel and less interference between your lower leg and the horse, promoting better communication.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

Yes, the fabric is designed to be lightweight and breathable, making them suitable for wear in warmer conditions while maintaining opacity.

What is the benefit of the heart-shaped rear cut?

The heart-shaped rear cut is a design feature intended to provide a flattering and aesthetically pleasing silhouette.

Do the false pockets add any functionality?

The false pocket detailing is purely aesthetic, designed to reduce weight and contribute to a sleek, streamlined silhouette without the bulk of functional pockets.

What colours are available?

The LeMieux Victoria Silicone Seat Breeches are available in colours such as White and Blue, with specific product listings detailing exact colourways.

Troubleshooting

Silicone seat losing grip

Ensure breeches are washed correctly without fabric softener, as residue can reduce grip. Check for excessive wear on the silicone.

Fabric feels less breathable

Ensure the breeches are clean and free from sweat and dirt buildup. Check care label for correct washing instructions.

Stitching coming undone

Inspect the garment for any loose threads and carefully trim them. For significant issues, contact customer support.

Size not fitting as expected

Refer to the LeMieux sizing guide for accurate measurements. Consider the close-contact fit when choosing a size.
