FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the fabric used in these breeches?
The fabric is designed with moisture-wicking technology to keep the rider dry and comfortable, and it's also figure-enhancing, providing an athletic yet polished look.
Are these breeches suitable for everyday hacking?
While comfortable and durable, they are specifically engineered for elite competition performance. For everyday hacking, other breeches might offer a more relaxed fit. However, their technical features still make them a high-performance option for any riding activity.
What does 'full seat silicone grips' mean?
This means that the silicone material is applied across the entire seat area of the breeches, providing maximum grip and stability between the rider and the saddle.
Can I wear these breeches for competitions governed by specific equestrian bodies?
Yes, these breeches are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, making them suitable for many official events.
How should I wash my Aubrion Optima MX Breeches?
Machine wash them on a cool cycle (30°C) with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low heat setting if needed.
What is the fit like on the Aubrion Optima MX Breeches?
They feature an anatomical cut for an athletic fit and a high waist design for added comfort and support.
Does the rear pocket zip open?
The product description notes a 'rear mock flap pocket detail,' suggesting it is decorative rather than a functional pocket.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. The fabric is designed to be snug for an athletic fit, but should not restrict movement.
Moisture-wicking performance seems reduced.
Ensure the breeches are washed according to care instructions, using mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impede wicking properties.
Silicone grips are not providing enough traction.
Check that the grips and the saddle seat are clean and free from dirt or debris. Ensure the breeches are fully dry before riding.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
