Usage & Care Instructions
Proper Use: Step into breeches and pull up to natural waist. Fasten hook and bar closure, then zip fly. Ensure seamless sock bottom is positioned smoothly inside tall boots before mounting. The extended silicone grip should cover your entire leg contact area from upper thigh through calf when in riding position.
Care Instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors using mild detergent. Turn inside out before washing to preserve silicone grip and fabric integrity. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment and silicone grip. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not bleach, iron directly on silicone areas, or dry clean. Remove promptly from dryer to prevent wrinkles.
Grip Maintenance: The silicone grip will maintain its effectiveness with proper care. Avoid contact with rough surfaces when not riding. If grip becomes less tacky over time, gentle washing will restore adhesion. Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets as these create a coating that reduces grip.
Storage: Hang breeches by the waistband or fold neatly to prevent creasing. Store in cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain fabric integrity, color vibrancy, and antimicrobial properties.
Why Choose Bamboo-Cotton Breeches?
Bamboo fabric represents the future of sustainable equestrian apparel, offering environmental benefits without compromising performance. Bamboo grows rapidly without pesticides, requires minimal water, and produces more oxygen than traditional cotton crops. The resulting fabric is naturally hypoallergenic, softer than cotton, and provides superior moisture management. Combined with the antimicrobial properties that keep breeches fresh during intense riding, bamboo-cotton breeches offer a performance advantage that benefits both riders and the environment.
Ideal For
- Show jumpers requiring maximum leg security over technical courses and big fences
- Dressage riders needing precise leg contact for subtle aids and advanced movements
- Eventers who demand versatility across all three phases of competition
- Hunter/jumper riders seeking enhanced stability during equitation and medal classes
- Trainers riding multiple horses daily who need antimicrobial odor protection
- Eco-conscious riders who prefer sustainable, environmentally friendly apparel
- Riders in warm climates who benefit from bamboo's cooling properties
- Anyone seeking the ultimate combination of grip, comfort, and performance
Performance Advantages
The extended full-leg silicone grip system transforms your riding experience by providing consistent contact from thigh to calf, eliminating the common problem of leg slip during aggressive riding. Jumpers will appreciate the enhanced security during takeoff and landing, while dressage riders benefit from the ability to deliver precise leg aids without shifting position. The seamless sock bottom ensures your boots slide on effortlessly and stay wrinkle-free throughout your ride. Whether you're navigating a grand prix course, executing a dressage test, or schooling young horses, these breeches deliver the grip and comfort you need to perform at your best.
