FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for winter?

While they are comfortable, their cooling technology is optimized for warmer weather and they may not provide sufficient warmth for cold winter months.

Do these have a full seat?

No, this specific model features silicone knee patches rather than a full seat.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these?

It is recommended to avoid heavy use of fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the breathability and the grip of the silicone patches.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The front pockets are standard design suitable for small accessories, but they may not securely fit larger modern smartphones.

How do I ensure the right fit?

Since these follow European sizing conventions, always refer to the specific size guide provided for the 14702 model to match your UK dress size.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing tackiness

Wash the breeches according to instructions; residual dust or fabric softener buildup can reduce grip effectiveness.

Fabric feeling tight

Ensure you are using the correct UK dress size. Nylon-elastic blends are intended to be form-fitting, but verify your measurements against the HKM sizing chart.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent grip provided by silicone knee patches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the silicone grip and the cooling properties of the fabric, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Turn the breeches inside out to protect the silicone patches during the wash cycle.
  2. Drying: These breeches are suitable for tumble drying, which is convenient for maintaining the elastic shape, though air drying is recommended to extend the longevity of the synthetic fibers.
  3. Compatibility: The elasticated ankle design makes these highly compatible with various styles of tall leather riding boots and half-chaps, preventing pressure points under the boot closure.
  4. Storage: Store away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading on the blue fabric.
