Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these breeches suitable for competition?

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

Do the rear pockets hold items?

No, the rear welt pockets are faux and designed for aesthetic purposes only.

How should I clean the silicone grip?

Machine wash inside out using a gentle cycle and mild detergent; do not use fabric softener.

Are these breeches suitable for warm weather?

Yes, the moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric is specifically chosen to help keep riders cool and dry.

What is the fit of the Aubrion Optima line?

They feature an anatomical, athletic fit designed to be form-fitting without restricting movement.

Troubleshooting

Silicone grip losing traction

Wash the breeches with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the silicone and reduce its gripping performance.

Fabric appearing dull after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and washing with similar colours to prevent fabric abrasion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance moisture-wicking fabric
  • Excellent grip due to matte silicone print
  • Compliant with GB affiliated competition standards
  • Quick-drying material for easy maintenance
  • Professional, anatomical athletic fit

Cons

  • Silicone print requires specific care instructions
  • Rear pockets are faux and not functional for storage
  • Limited to specific competition-appropriate colour palette

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your breeches maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Turn the breeches inside out before placing them in the washing machine to protect the silicone grip print.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent to preserve the fabric's technical properties and moisture-wicking coating.
  3. Drying: Air dry the garment in a shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources or tumble drying, as this can degrade the silicone grips and fabric elasticity.
  4. Ironing: Avoid ironing over the silicone grip areas, as high temperatures can damage or melt the print.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the blue fabric.
