FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for everyday training?
While they offer excellent comfort and performance, the Optima LX Breeches are specifically designed with competition styling and features. For everyday training, you might prefer breeches without the diamante detailing or competition-specific fit.
What makes these breeches competition-ready?
They are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, feature a polished aesthetic with diamante embellishments, and offer performance features like silicone grips and moisture-wicking fabric that are beneficial in a competitive setting.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Aubrion sizing chart and measure your waist and inside leg accurately. The mid-rise fit and tapered legs are designed for a precise fit, especially important for competition wear.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
Yes, the moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric is designed to keep riders comfortable by managing sweat, making them suitable for warmer weather conditions.
How durable are the diamante chains?
The diamante chains are designed for aesthetic appeal. While robust for their purpose, they require careful handling during washing and general wear to maintain their appearance and prevent snagging.
What is the benefit of the full seat silicone grips?
The full seat silicone grips provide enhanced stability and security in the saddle, helping to prevent unwanted slipping during demanding riding situations.
What material are the breeches made from?
The primary materials are a blend of technical fabrics designed for stretch, moisture management, and comfort. Specific material composition may vary slightly, but the focus is on performance fabrics like polyester and nylon blends for durability and function.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric has high stretch, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance. Check the sizing guide.
Silicone grips losing effectiveness
Clean the silicone grip areas with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the silicone. Ensure the breeches are clean from dirt and sweat.
Diamante embellishments becoming loose
Handle with care when washing and drying. If loose, a careful hand-stitch with matching thread can resecure them. Avoid snagging on rough surfaces.
Fabric not drying quickly
Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded, which can prevent thorough rinsing and spinning. Check care label instructions to ensure correct drying method is being used (tumble dry on low).
