FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for everyday riding, or only for competition?
While designed for elite competition performance with features like diamante embellishments and compliance with competition rules, the moisture-wicking fabric and comfortable fit also make them suitable for rigorous training sessions.
How should I care for the diamante embellishments?
It is recommended to wash these breeches inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid tumble drying on high heat or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the embellishments. Air drying is preferred.
What is the fit like on these breeches?
The Optima LX Breeches feature a mid-rise fit with twin slide fastenings and a zip fly, designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit. The legs taper to low-profile cuffs for a smooth silhouette under boots.
Do the silicone grips cover the entire seat area?
Yes, these breeches feature a full seat silicone grip design, intended to provide maximum stability and grip in the saddle.
What material are the breeches made from?
The primary material is polyester, chosen for its moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, contributing to rider comfort.
Can these breeches be worn with tall boots?
Yes, the low-profile, high-stretch leg cuffs are specifically designed to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit under long riding boots.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart. The mid-rise fit and high-stretch cuffs are designed for a snug fit; if it feels uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your body shape. The twin slide fastenings and belt loops allow for minor adjustments.
Reduced grip from silicone.
Gently clean the silicone grip areas with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, which can degrade the silicone. Ensure the breeches are completely dry before use.
Diamante embellishments appear loose or damaged.
Inspect the embellishments carefully. If a diamante is loose, a professional tailor or a specialist equestrian repair service may be able to re-secure it. Avoid machine washing on high heat or aggressive spin cycles, which can exacerbate this issue.
Fabric feels less breathable or quick-drying.
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, without fabric softener, which can impede breathability. Check for any blockages or damage to the fabric weave that might affect airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These breeches are ready to wear straight out of the packaging, requiring no specific setup. They are designed for compatibility with standard equestrian attire, including long riding boots and any required competition tops. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the breeches at a cool temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C) and to avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, which can damage the fabric's performance properties and the diamante embellishments. Tumble drying on a low heat or air drying is advisable to maintain the integrity of the material and fit. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
