FAQs
What material are the Aubrion Optima PX Breeches made from?
The Aubrion Optima PX Breeches are primarily made from Nylon, incorporating innovative fabrics for performance and comfort.
Are these breeches suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, they are designed for elite competition performance and training across various disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, and eventing, due to their athletic fit and features.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
Refer to the specific sizing chart provided by Aubrion, considering your UK women's dress size. The anatomical cut is designed for an athletic fit, so accurate measurement is key.
Can I wear these for everyday yard work?
While durable, their design is optimized for athletic performance and competition. For extensive yard work, a more casual pair might be preferable, but they are suitable for lighter stable duties.
What makes the fabric 'moisture-wicking'?
The fabric is engineered with special fibres and weave structures that draw perspiration away from the skin to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable.
How should I wash and care for my Optima PX Breeches?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron on a low heat. Close all fastenings before washing.
Do these breeches have pockets?
Yes, the Aubrion Optima PX Breeches feature practical zip pockets.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the sizing chart. The fabric has stretch, but an incorrect size can impede athletic performance. Consider trying a size up if you are between sizes or prefer a less compressive fit.
Moisture-wicking seems ineffective.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions without fabric softener, which can clog the fabric's pores. For best results, wash with similar technical fabrics.
Silicone grips are losing effectiveness.
Clean the silicone grips gently with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, which can damage the silicone.
