FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for competition use?
While designed for performance and comfort, their sporty aesthetic with mesh inserts may be more suited for training and general equestrian activities rather than formal competition attire, depending on the discipline's dress code.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the LeMieux size guide for young riders. It's recommended to measure your child's waist and compare it with the provided chart, paying attention to the inseam measurement if available, to ensure the best fit.
Can the inner shorts be worn separately?
The inner shorts are designed as an integrated part of the double-layer system. While they offer support, they are not intended to be worn as standalone shorts.
What is the benefit of the double-layer design?
The double-layer design offers the combined benefits of a supportive, moisture-wicking inner layer for comfort and performance, and a breathable, lightweight outer layer for style and ventilation.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, these shorts are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not waterproofing. They are intended to manage sweat during activity.
Can a phone really fit in the inner pockets?
Yes, the description states the inner pockets are deep enough to easily stash a phone or other small essentials, providing secure storage during activity.
Troubleshooting
Inner shorts feel restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the size is correct, the inner shorts may need a short break-in period to conform to the body shape. Stretch them gently before wearing.
Drawstring comes loose easily
Ensure the drawstring is tied securely with a double knot. If the drawstring material is slippery, consider replacing it with a textured cord for better grip.
Moisture-wicking seems less effective
Ensure the shorts are washed with a mild detergent and without fabric softener, as fabric softeners can clog the technical fibers and reduce wicking capabilities. Ensure the garment is clean of dirt and oils.

- Washing Temperature: Wash at a cool temperature, typically 30°C or as indicated on the care label.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
