FAQs

What disciplines is this show shirt best suited for?

The Aubrion Optima VX Show Shirt is designed for high-level competition across all equestrian disciplines, including show jumping, dressage, and eventing.

How does the 'slim fit' affect comfort?

The slim fit is engineered to provide a contoured silhouette that enhances athletic performance and reduces drag. Combined with four-way stretch fabric and comfort seams, it aims to be comfortable and allow full range of motion.

Can I wear this shirt in hot weather?

Yes, the shirt features cool stretch fabric, moisture management, and quick-dry technologies, along with breathable lace panels, making it suitable for hot weather competition.

What type of care does the lace require?

The lace panels are part of the elegant detailing and require gentle care. Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to maintain their appearance and integrity.

Is the UPF50 rating permanent?

The UPF50 rating is inherent to the main body fabric and is designed to last for the lifespan of the garment under normal care conditions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the fabric's properties.

What is the purpose of the quarter zip?

The discreet quarter zip allows for easy dressing and ventilation, contributing to the shirt's sleek, competition-ready appearance while offering adjustability for comfort.

Does the shirt adhere to competition rules?

Yes, the Aubrion Optima VX Show Shirt is designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, ensuring a professional and appropriate look for various events.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels tight despite correct size

Ensure the quarter zip is fully open. The slim fit is designed for a contoured feel; consider if a different fit style might be preferred for future purchases.

Fabric not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the shirt is not overloaded in the washing machine and that excess water is removed before drying. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties.

Lace detailing snagged or damaged

Hand wash the affected area gently or follow the delicate cycle instructions carefully. Avoid high heat during drying or ironing, and store the garment carefully to prevent snags.
