Precision Performance for the Modern Rider

The Aubrion Optima MX-KG Breeches are designed for the rider who demands a polished, traditional look without sacrificing the technical edge of modern sportswear. Whether you're navigating a jump course or putting in hours of schooling, these breeches provide the stability and breathability needed to stay focused on your horse. From the first warm-up to the final round, they are built to move with you.

Shires has engineered these with a specific "MX" styling—featuring classic pleats and secure zip pockets—that bridges the gap between old-school equestrian elegance and high-performance athletic gear. The result is a breech that feels like a second skin but looks right at home in the most prestigious show rings.

Key Benefits for the Active Rider

• Targeted Saddle Security: Matte silicone knee grips (KG) offer excellent friction for a steady leg without the restrictive feel of a full seat, perfect for jumpers.
• Advanced Climate Control: The moisture-wicking technical fabric pulls sweat away from the skin and dries rapidly, keeping you cool during summer shows or intense training sessions.
• Anatomical Athletic Fit: A contoured seat and minimal seams reduce bulk and prevent chafing, allowing for a full range of motion in and out of the saddle.
• Professional MX Styling: Traditional pleated fronts and secure zip pockets ensure you look the part in the show ring while benefiting from the stretch of modern materials.
• Competition Ready: Designed to comply with international dress codes, these breeches offer a "pro-rider" aesthetic for both schooling and affiliated shows.

Best For

Show jumpers and competitive riders looking for a technical breech that offers a traditional look with modern silicone grip and moisture management.
