FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for everyday casual riding?
While comfortable and functional, the Optima MX Breeches are specifically designed with elite competition performance in mind. They are excellent for training and competing but may be more technical than a rider requires for purely casual use.
What does 'MX' signify in the product name?
The 'MX' in the Optima MX Breeches typically refers to a specific style or model within the Aubrion range, often denoting features geared towards competition performance and modern styling.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Consult the Aubrion sizing guide for detailed measurements. The breeches feature a high waist and are anatomically cut, so precise measurement is key for optimal comfort and athletic fit.
Can I wear these in competitions that have strict attire rules?
Yes, these breeches are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, making them a suitable choice for formal equestrian events.
What is the purpose of the rear mock flap pocket detail?
The rear mock flap pocket detail is a traditional styling element that adds a classic equestrian aesthetic to the breeches without altering their performance or fit.
How durable are the silicone grips?
The full seat silicone grips are designed for longevity and performance. Proper care, as outlined in the care instructions, will help maintain their effectiveness and durability over time.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Aubrion. Ensure you are measuring correctly according to the product's specific guidelines. Note that UK sizing is used for waist measurements.
Reduced grip from silicone seats
Wash the breeches with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can leave a residue. Ensure the silicone areas are clean and free from dirt or debris.
Moisture-wicking not effective
Ensure the garment is washed with appropriate detergent and not overloaded with fabric softener. Synthetic fibers can sometimes lose their wicking properties if treated with certain chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These breeches require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. They are designed for compatibility with standard equestrian attire. For care, it is recommended to machine wash at a cool temperature (typically 30°C or 86°F) with similar colours. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the technical fabric properties and silicone grips. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. It is advisable to iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the silicone grip areas. Ensure the zip fastenings are closed before washing to prevent damage.
