FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of these chaps?
The LeMieux Stormwear Waterproof Chaps have a waterproof rating of 5000mm.
Are these chaps suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, they feature a thermal fleece lining that provides warmth, making them ideal for cold winter conditions.
How do I clean my waterproof chaps?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Always close zippers and fastenings before washing.
Can I wear these chaps for activities other than riding?
While designed for riding, their waterproof and warm features make them suitable for other outdoor activities in similar weather conditions, though they may be warmer than ideal for prolonged non-exertion activities.
What does the 4000mvp rating mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission. A rating of 4000mvp indicates the fabric's ability to allow moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, contributing to breathability and comfort.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the boot straps and ensure the silicone knee grips are positioned comfortably on your knees. The chaps should fit snugly but allow for movement.
Do these chaps have pockets?
Yes, they feature a waterproof zipped hip pocket to keep your valuables safe and dry.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for wear and tear on seams. Consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment to the fabric.
Chaps feel too warm.
These chaps are designed for cold and wet weather. For milder conditions, consider alternative lighter-weight legwear. Ensure you are not overheating due to exertion rather than the chaps themselves.
Straps are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the straps are clean and free of debris. The adjustable straps are designed for a secure fit; pull firmly to adjust and then fasten securely.
Fleece lining feels damp after washing.
Ensure the chaps are hung to dry thoroughly away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying, as this can damage the fabric and waterproof membrane.
