FAQs
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they are machine washable on a cool, gentle cycle. Always turn them inside out.
Are these suitable for show jumping?
Yes, their professional aesthetic and functional grip make them a popular choice for both schooling and jumping.
Does the silicone seat provide enough grip?
The silicone print offers significant friction, which helps riders maintain a stable seat during movement.
Do these breeches run true to size?
The Shires Aubrion line is designed with standard adult sizing. It is recommended to check your measurements against the size chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I use bleach on the grey fabric?
No, do not use bleach or harsh chemicals as they will damage the fabric integrity and the silicone grip.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the garment inside out in cold water without fabric softener and ensure no residue from detergents is left on the print.
Fabric appears to be stretching out
Check the care label instructions and ensure you are not using high-heat settings during drying, which can damage the elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Aubrion Northwick Breeches, always turn them inside out before washing to protect the silicone seat. Use a mild detergent and wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the adhesive properties of the silicone grip over time. Air dry the breeches away from direct heat sources to prevent the technical stretch fabric from losing its elasticity. These breeches are compatible with standard equestrian footwear, including tall boots and half-chaps.
