How to Choose the Right Shooting Breeks

Your choice of breeks should reflect climate, terrain, and personal style. Below are key considerations to guide your decision.

Fabric & Performance

  • Tweed & wool blends – Classic and breathable, ideal for dry or mild conditions.
  • Moleskin or cotton twill – Durable and quieter in undergrowth.
  • Waterproof / membrane – Useful for wet or unpredictable weather; some models combine waterproof panels with breathable fabrics.

Style & Cut

Breeks typically end just below the knee and are worn with long socks. Styles include plus twos and plus fours. Over-breeks or gaiters can offer extra protection. Ensure the calf adjustment is secure but comfortable.

Fit & Movement

Allow a little space for layering underneath (e.g. thin baselayers). The stretch or cut should allow freedom at the knees and thighs. Articulated cuts or gussets help when kneeling or walking uneven terrain.

Care & Longevity

To preserve fabric and shape, brush off dirt daily. Tweed and wool blends may benefit from airing rather than frequent washing. Use specialist detergents, follow manufacturer care instructions, and reproof where appropriate.

Brush off dirt and use a damp cloth as needed. Avoid frequent washing; when required, use a gentle wool detergent and reshape while damp. Let them air dry naturally.

Plus twos are breeks that extend two inches below the knee; plus fours extend four inches. Plus fours offer more coverage and style flexibility with gaiters or socks.
