FAQs
What type of riding are these breeches best suited for?
The Aubrion Ladies Optima LX Breeches are specifically designed for elite competition performance, suitable for various disciplines where a polished and high-performance appearance is required.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Aubrion sizing chart, paying close attention to waist and hip measurements. The 'size_womans_dress_uk' attribute in the product details provides a reference point, but individual measurements are most accurate.
Are the diamante chains durable?
The diamante chains are designed for aesthetic appeal. While generally secure, they require careful handling during washing and wear to maintain their condition.
Can I wear these for everyday training?
While they are built for performance, their sophisticated design and embellishments make them ideal for competition. For everyday training, consider options designed for more frequent, rigorous use, though they can certainly hold up if cared for.
What is the fit like around the waist?
These breeches feature a mid-rise fit. They include belt loops to allow for adjustment and a secure feel.
How do the silicone grips work?
The full seat silicone grips are strategically placed to provide enhanced grip and stability in the saddle, helping to keep the rider secure in various riding situations.
What is the primary benefit of the fabric technology?
The primary benefit is its moisture-wicking capability, which helps to draw sweat away from the skin, keeping the rider dry and comfortable during activity.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements. The fabric has high stretch, but an incorrect size will compromise comfort. Check the size guide provided by Aubrion.
Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced
Ensure the breeches are washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and excessive heat during drying, which can degrade these properties.
Diamante embellishments are loose or missing
Handle with care during washing and avoid direct ironing on the embellishments. If a few are loose, a fabric adhesive designed for textiles might offer a temporary fix, but professional repair may be needed for significant damage.
Silicone grip is not effective
Check that the silicone grip areas are clean and free from dirt or residue. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can affect grip.
