FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, while designed for elite competition, their technical fabric, comfort, and styling make them suitable for various equestrian disciplines, including training, dressage, show jumping, and eventing.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the specific sizing guide provided for the Aubrion Optima LX Breeches. Measure your waist and hips accurately and compare them to the chart. The breeches should offer a snug, supportive fit without restricting movement.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these breeches?
No, it is strongly recommended not to use fabric softener. Fabric softeners can clog the technical fibers of the fabric, reducing its moisture-wicking and quick-drying capabilities.
What is the purpose of the diamante chain detailing?
The diamante chain detailing at the pocket edges is a stylistic feature designed to add a touch of elegance and sophistication, enhancing the competition-ready aesthetic of the breeches.
How should I care for the full seat silicone grips?
The silicone grips should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and allowed to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the silicone.
Are these breeches compliant with specific competition rules?
Yes, the Aubrion Optima LX Breeches are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, ensuring they meet the standards for formal equestrian events.
What is the fit like around the waist?
These breeches feature a mid-rise fit, designed to sit comfortably at the natural waist.
Troubleshooting
Diamante embellishments are loose or falling off.
This can occur due to improper washing. Ensure you wash the breeches inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid tumble drying on high heat. If a few are loose, careful hand-sewing may be possible, but avoid excessive pulling.
Breeches feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The high-stretch fabric is designed to be form-fitting; however, if it feels excessively tight, it may indicate a sizing issue. Check the fit carefully before removing tags.
Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced.
Fabric performance can be affected by residue from detergents or fabric softeners. Wash the breeches again using only a mild detergent and no fabric softener. Ensure they are fully air-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting.
Silicone grips are losing their effectiveness.
Clean the silicone grip areas with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using cleaning agents directly on the grips, as this can degrade the silicone.
