FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for everyday riding?
While designed for competition performance, their comfort and moisture-wicking features make them suitable for dedicated training sessions. For very casual, light riding, other models might offer more durability for rough use.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Aubrion. The mid-rise fit and anatomically tailored cut are designed for a snug, athletic feel. Measure your waist and inseam for accuracy.
Can I wash these with other riding gear?
It is recommended to wash these breeches separately or with similar dark colours on a cold, gentle cycle to protect the fabric and embellishments.
What does 'LX' signify in the product name?
'LX' typically denotes a premium or deluxe version within a product line, often indicating enhanced features, materials, or design elements, such as the diamante detailing in this case.
Are the diamante chains durable?
The diamante chains are designed to be a refined aesthetic feature for competition. While they are integrated securely, they require careful handling and adherence to washing instructions to maintain their appearance and prevent detachment.
What is the rise of these breeches?
These breeches feature a mid-rise fit, designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist.
Do these breeches meet competition rules?
Yes, these breeches are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, offering a professional and compliant appearance.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The high-stretch fabric should offer comfort; if uncomfortably tight, a larger size may be required. Check for proper adjustment of the twin slide fastenings and zip fly.
Silicone grip is not effective.
Ensure the inside of the breeches and the saddle are clean and free from dirt or residue. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as this can reduce grip effectiveness. Wash the breeches according to care instructions to refresh the grip.
Diamante embellishments are loose or missing.
Contact customer support for potential repair options or replacement. Avoid snagging the embellishments on rough surfaces.
Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced.
Wash the breeches using a mild detergent without fabric softener. Ensure no residue from previous washes remains. Air drying can help maintain the fabric's performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These breeches require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
Compatibility: Designed to be worn with standard equestrian riding boots. The high-stretch leg cuffs are specifically engineered to fit smoothly under both long riding boots and some shorter boots.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle (30°C).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the silicone grip and moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry flat to maintain fabric integrity and shape. Do not bleach or dry clean.
- Embellishments: Hand wash around the diamante embellishments if necessary to preserve their shine and adherence. Avoid excessive rubbing on these areas.
