FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
The Aubrion Optima PX Breeches are specifically designed for elite competition performance and adhere to GB affiliated competition rules, making them ideal for competitive riders. They are also excellent for training where performance is key.
What makes the fabric 'figure-enhancing'?
The fabric is engineered with a specific weave and composition that provides support and contours to the rider's shape, creating a flattering and polished silhouette.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart which uses UK women's dress sizes. The anatomical cut is designed for an athletic fit, so selecting your usual size should provide optimal performance.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, it is strongly recommended to avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking capabilities of the fabric and affect the silicone grip's effectiveness.
Do the silicone grips cover the entire seat?
Yes, the breeches feature a full seat silicone grip design to provide maximum stability and adherence in the saddle.
Are there pockets for a phone?
The breeches include practical zip pockets, which can accommodate smaller items like keys or cards. For larger items like most smartphones, a separate storage solution may be needed.
What is the benefit of the rear waistband notch?
The deep waistband features a rear notch to provide a more comfortable and secure fit, particularly when in a riding position, preventing the waistband from digging in or slipping down.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric is designed to yield with the rider, but proper fit is essential for athletic movement.
Silicone grips losing effectiveness
Ensure grips are clean and free from dirt or residue. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can coat the silicone.
Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced
Check for any build-up of detergent or fabric softener residue. Rinse thoroughly during washing and avoid tumble drying, which can degrade fabric performance.
