How to Use
- Check your waist and inside leg measurements against the size chart, and size up if you plan to layer over thick breeches.
- Pull the trousers on over your breeches or jodhpurs before putting on your riding boots.
- Settle the elasticated waistband so the raised back waist sits over the base of your spine.
- Fit the adjustable elasticated boot straps under your boots and tighten so the hems stay down while mounted.
- Load essentials into the zipped pockets and close the zips fully to keep contents dry.
- After use, brush off mud, hang to dry and wash following the care label, avoiding fabric conditioner and high heat.

FAQ
How waterproof are these trousers?
They are fully waterproof with a rating of 5000mm and a breathability rating of 4000mvp, so rain beads on the fabric and runs off rather than soaking through.
Can you ride in them?
Yes. Silicone knee grips help maintain stability in the saddle and adjustable elasticated boot straps stop the hems from riding up while mounted.
Do they go over breeches?
They are designed as over trousers to pull on above breeches or jodhpurs. If you layer heavily or fall between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
Are they warm enough for winter?
They have a thermal fleece lining for warmth in cold, wet conditions, and a raised shaped back waist that helps protect against rain and splashes.
How should I wash them?
Close all zips, follow the care label, and avoid fabric conditioner and high heat, as both can reduce the performance of waterproof technical fabric.
Are they suitable for yard work as well as riding?
Yes. The reinforced knees and inner lower leg, waterproof zipped pockets and reflective details suit mucking out, turnout and lunging as well as hacking and schooling.
