FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Optima LX Breeches?
The primary benefits are their combination of elite competition performance with modern design technology, featuring an anatomically tailored cut, moisture-wicking fabric, and elegant diamante detailing for a sophisticated look.
Are these breeches suitable for all weather conditions?
The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for various conditions, helping to keep the rider comfortable. However, they are primarily designed for riding performance rather than insulation in extreme cold.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Aubrion. The breeches are designed for an athletic fit, so ensure your measurements align with the specified size. The mid-rise fit and anatomically tailored cut are key aspects of their design.
Can the diamante embellishments be removed for washing?
The diamante embellishments are an integral part of the design and are not intended to be removed. Careful washing as per the care instructions is recommended to maintain their appearance.
What does 'LX' stand for in Optima LX Breeches?
While not explicitly defined in the product description, 'LX' often denotes a premium or deluxe version of a product line, suggesting enhanced features or styling, such as the diamante detailing in this case.
Are there pockets for storing a phone?
Yes, the breeches feature practical front zip pockets and rear functional patch pockets. The front zip pockets are suitable for securing smaller items like keys or a small phone.
Do these breeches comply with competition rules?
Yes, they are designed to comply with GB affiliated competition rules, making them suitable for official equestrian events.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider trying a size up if between sizes. The fabric has high stretch, but proper sizing is key for the intended athletic fit.
Diamante embellishments appear loose or damaged after washing
Review washing instructions and ensure the breeches were washed inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. If damage is noted, refrain from further washing and consult with customer support.
Moisture-wicking is not effective
Ensure the fabric is clean and free from residual detergents or fabric softeners, which can impede performance. Wash according to care instructions. Over time, or with heavy use, moisture-wicking properties may gradually decrease.
Zippers or fastenings are stiff
Gently try to move the zippers. If they are stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can sometimes help lubricate them. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
