FAQs

What type of competitions is this jacket suitable for?

The Aubrion Optima MX Show Jacket is designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, making it suitable for a variety of equestrian events such as show jumping, dressage, and eventing.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements. Given its tailored fit, consider your chest, waist, and arm length. Trying on different sizes is recommended for the best fit.

Can I wear a base layer or jumper underneath?

The jacket is designed for a sleek fit. A thin base layer or competition shirt is recommended. A thicker jumper may affect the tailored silhouette and restrict movement.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket is not waterproof. It is made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics designed for comfort and performance in various weather conditions, but it does not offer full water protection.

How does the 'in-motion stretch' feature benefit me?

The stretch fabric allows for unrestricted movement, crucial for maintaining balance, executing riding aids effectively, and ensuring comfort during your entire equestrian activity without the jacket pulling or restricting you.

What is the purpose of the back vents?

The deep back vents are designed to provide enhanced freedom of movement in the saddle and improve airflow, contributing to rider comfort during strenuous activities.

Are the flap pockets functional for carrying items?

The flap pockets are primarily for aesthetic and classic styling. While they can hold small, lightweight items, they are not designed for secure storage during vigorous riding.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears creased after washing

Ensure the jacket is hung to dry immediately after washing. Gentle steaming can remove stubborn creases; avoid direct ironing.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up and down, and if necessary, use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant on the teeth.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

This is sometimes a characteristic of performance fabrics. Repeated wear and gentle washing (without fabric softener) should soften the material over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a professional and flattering silhouette.
  • Excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties for rider comfort.
  • Offers superior freedom of movement due to stretch fabric and design.
  • Combines modern performance with classic, timeless styling.
  • Complies with GB affiliated competition rules.

Cons

  • Tailored fit may not suit all body types without trying multiple sizes.
  • May be too warm for extremely hot weather despite breathability.
  • Flap pockets may not be ideal for securely storing small items during intense activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment; no setup is required. Ensure the jacket is unzipped and unbuttoned before trying it on to avoid strain on the fastenings.

Compatibility: Designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, making it suitable for a wide range of equestrian events. It pairs well with standard riding attire, including breeches, shirts, and riding boots.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  3. Drying: Hang to dry. Do not tumble dry or iron. The quick-dry lining assists in this process.
