Product Information

Full details

The Shires Aubrion Optima MX-KG Breeches are designed for male equestrians who prioritize professional-grade performance and a clean, traditional aesthetic in the saddle. These breeches provide elite moisture-wicking properties and superior security via integrated silicone grips, making them an excellent choice for both intense training sessions and formal competitions. While they offer a high-performance fit, users should note that the specialized fabric requires careful laundering to maintain the longevity of the grip and moisture-wicking capabilities.

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

Yes, they are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition regulations.

Can I put these in the dryer?

It is highly recommended to air dry them to protect the silicone grip and technical fabric properties.

Do the pockets hold a smartphone?

The breeches feature open front pockets and faux rear pockets; they are designed for a sleek silhouette and are not intended for large mobile devices.

Are the grips sticky?

The matte silicone grips provide a secure, non-slip texture that helps you maintain a stable seat without feeling overly 'tacky' or restricted.

What is the sizing fit like?

They feature an anatomical athletic fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit for schooling, consider checking the specific measurements for your waist size.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing traction

Wash the breeches inside out using a mild detergent and ensure the grip area is free from hair, dust, or residue build-up.

Fabric feels damp after heavy sweating

Ensure no fabric softener was used in the wash, as softener clogs the moisture-wicking pores in the technical fabric.

Fit feels too tight in the waist

Check that the twin slide fastenings are engaged correctly and consider wearing a thinner base layer if training in colder conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance moisture-wicking and quick-drying material
  • Enhanced security provided by matte silicone full seat grips
  • Timeless design suitable for formal competition settings
  • Anatomical cut ensures freedom of movement in the saddle
  • Complies with official GB competition regulations

Cons

  • Faux pockets provide aesthetic value but limited utility compared to deep functional pockets
  • Silicone grip may require specific care to prevent premature wear
  • Black colorway requires regular maintenance to prevent dust accumulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your breeches maintain their performance properties, always follow the care label instructions. It is recommended to wash the breeches inside out on a cool, gentle cycle to protect the integrity of the silicone grip print. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce their effectiveness. Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation. These breeches are compatible with standard tall boots and chaps; the anatomical fit ensures they remain comfortable tucked inside footwear without creating bulky pressure points.
