HOW DO YOU PROPERLY CARE FOR BREECHES?
The care of breeches is very simple due to the easy-care functional materials used. Wash the breeches only as much as necessary to avoid damaging the fibres. Turn the breeches inside out before washing to preserve the seat and set your washing machine to 30°C. The synthetic leather seat can be treated with a synthetic leather care product after drying to prevent it from becoming brittle. You can find detailed instructions on how to wash and care for your breeches in our textile care guide.
WHICH DETERGENT CAN I USE FOR BREECHES?
Breeches are usually made of functional textiles, which are very easy to care for. However, they should be handled gently so that the upper layers and fibres are not destroyed. Soft shell breeches and thermal breeches are partly impregnated and have a fibre protection. Therefore, breeches should only be washed with a mild detergent for sports textiles. Do not use fabric softener, as this will cause the functional fibres of your breeches to lose their absorbency.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO WASH FLEECE JACKETS?
Like all functional textiles, fleece jackets should be washed inside out at a low temperature to avoid possible pilling (formation of fibre nodules). Before washing, all zips should be closed to protect the material and the teeth of the zip. Instead of fabric softener, it is best to use a mild detergent. In our shop you will find suitable care products for textiles, which are designed for riding clothes and preserve the material properties for a long time.
Avoid high rotational speeds during the spin cycle. Fleece has a tendency to form lint quickly. Remove it regularly and carefully. Do not wash your women's fleece jackets with fluffy fabrics whose lint is attracted to the fleece. It does not reduce the functionality of the fleece jackets, but it does not look good.
HOW DO YOU CARE FOR YOUR WINTER JACKET?
In our range you will find winter riding jackets with fleece or imitation down filling that are particularly easy to care for. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions and follow a few basic steps for the care of your winter riding jacket:
- Close all Velcro and zip fasteners.
- Wash detachable parts, such as the hood, separately or in a wash bag.
- Use a mild detergent for riding clothes
- Do not use fabric softener
- Wash your winter jacket at a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius.
- Set a gentle spin cycle with a maximum of 800 rpm.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR RIDING JACKETS OR COATS?
To maintain functionality, riding jackets and coats should be well cared for. But do not overdo it, otherwise the water-repellent protective layer will be damaged. Riding jackets and coats are very easy to care for, so light dirt can be wiped off with a wet cloth or sponge.
When washing your jacket, please note the following:
- Close all Velcro and zips before washing.
- Use a gentle detergent for riding clothes.
- Do not use fabric softener!
- Wash your jacket at 30 degrees
- Rinse with fresh water
- Spin dry on a low spin or better still not at all
