FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, the Aubrion Optima PX Breeches are designed for elite competition performance and training across various equestrian disciplines due to their advanced features like moisture-wicking, grip, and anatomical fit.
What makes the PX fabric special?
The PX fabric combines a sleek, modern look with a pared-back silhouette, offering an understated yet striking appearance that is polished and competition-ready.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the detailed sizing guide provided by Aubrion. The anatomical cut is designed to be close-fitting for athletic performance, so selecting the correct size is crucial for comfort and effectiveness.
Can I wear these for everyday riding or only for competitions?
While designed for competition, their comfort and technical features make them excellent for intense training sessions as well. They are versatile for demanding equestrian activities.
How often should I wash my breeches?
Wash after each use, especially after intense training or competition, to maintain hygiene and the performance of the technical fabric. Always follow the specific care instructions.
Do the silicone grips wear out?
With proper care and regular washing following the instructions (avoiding fabric softeners and high heat), the silicone grips are designed to maintain their effectiveness for a long period.
What is the purpose of the rear notch in the waistband?
The rear notch in the deep waistband is designed to provide a more ergonomic and comfortable fit, adapting to the rider's posture and movement while ensuring the waistband stays securely in place.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The anatomically cut design should offer a snug, athletic fit. Refer to the sizing chart. If the issue persists, consider if the fit is suitable for your body type.
Reduced grip from silicone seat
Ensure the silicone seat area is clean and free from dirt, oil, or residue. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Allow to air dry completely.
Moisture-wicking performance seems diminished
Check that no fabric softeners or harsh detergents have been used, as these can clog the fabric's pores. Wash again with a mild detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics, if possible, and air dry.
