Aubrion Optima MX Breeches - Navy - 34 Inches

While they are designed for competition, their moisture-wicking and comfortable fabric make them suitable for training. However, riders might prefer to save them for competition to preserve the full seat silicone grips and material integrity for longer.

This indicates that the breeches meet the specific dress code requirements for equestrian competitions affiliated with the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) or similar governing bodies in Great Britain.

The silicone grips can be cleaned by machine washing the breeches according to the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softener or high heat drying, as this can degrade the silicone over time.

A high waist design offers a more secure fit, prevents the breeches from slipping down during activity, and can provide a smoother, more streamlined appearance.

No, bleach and harsh detergents should be avoided as they can damage the fabric, affect its moisture-wicking properties, and potentially degrade the silicone grips.

The rear mock flap pocket is a design detail that adds to the classic equestrian aesthetic of the breeches. It is not a functional pocket.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. The fabric offers flexibility, but a size too small will restrict movement.

Ensure the breeches are clean and free from dirt or grease. For optimal performance, wash the breeches according to care instructions, as residue can affect grip.

Fabric softeners can impact moisture-wicking capabilities. Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Ensure the breeches are not overloaded in the washing machine to allow for proper rinsing.
