FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Creora® fabric?

The Creora® fabric provides excellent 4-way stretch, offering a superior fit and allowing for a full range of motion while riding.

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

While designed for comfort and function in riding, these trousers have a practical, flat front style. For formal competitions, specific competition breeches might be more appropriate, but they are excellent for training and schooling.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size specification (36 UK waist in this case) and consider the stretch fabric. For best results, measure your waist and compare it to standard sizing charts if available.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

The trousers are made primarily of cotton with stretch fibers. Cotton can be breathable, but performance in extreme heat may vary depending on individual preference and activity level.

What should I do if the sizing isn't right?

> Info needed: Return and exchange policy details.

How often should I wash these trousers?

Wash as needed, following the care instructions. Frequent washing can sometimes lead to wear, but proper care ensures longevity. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Leg fastenings lose their touch-close grip

Ensure the touch-close surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Gently brush with a stiff brush if necessary. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees and have not used bleach. Avoid tumble drying, as this can affect cotton blends. Air dry according to instructions.

Zip pocket is difficult to open or close

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to maneuver the pull tab. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the zipper teeth.
