FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, the Aubrion Optima MX Show Shirt is designed with advanced mobility and technical fabrics to support riders across all disciplines, from dressage to show jumping and eventing.
How does the 'contour fit' differ from a standard fit?
The contour fit is tailored to follow the natural shape of the body, providing a more streamlined and flattering silhouette that enhances freedom of movement without being baggy.
Can I wear this shirt for everyday riding?
While the shirt is designed for elite competition, its comfortable and technical fabric makes it suitable for everyday riding if preferred, though its styling is specifically geared towards competition appearance.
What does UPF50 mean for the fabric?
UPF50 stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50. It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering significant sun protection.
Does the shirt require special washing instructions?
It is recommended to machine wash cold with similar colours, use a mild detergent, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid dry cleaning.
Is the Aubrion logo visible?
The shirt features a subtle, self-colour Aubrion logo at the centre back, providing an understated branding detail.
What are the 'comfort seams'?
Comfort seams are designed to lie flat against the skin and reduce friction or chafing, enhancing comfort during prolonged wear and physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The four-way stretch fabric offers mobility, but proper sizing is key. Consult the size guide if unsure.
Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced.
Check that the garment is clean. Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can impede moisture-wicking. Wash with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
Collar feels uncomfortable.
The high collar is designed for a traditional competition look. Ensure the buttons are fastened correctly. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different style of show shirt.
