Ride with Confidence in the Aubrion Optima MX Breeches

Finding the right competition gear for a young rider is about more than just looking the part; it’s about feeling secure enough to focus on the course ahead. The Aubrion Optima MX Breeches by Shires are designed to provide that essential "second skin" feel, ensuring your young equestrian stays comfortable and supported from the warm-up ring to the final fence. Whether they are tackling a technical jumping round or a precise dressage test, these breeches are built to perform under pressure.

Crafted with the high standards Shires is known for, the Optima MX combines athletic performance with a classic, professional silhouette. The moisture-wicking fabric ensures that even on long show days in the summer heat, your rider stays cool and dry. From our barn to yours, we know that when a rider feels good in their gear, it shows in their performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my child?

The Aubrion Optima MX Breeches generally follow standard age-based brackets. However, if your rider falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size to ensure the best fit and maximum comfort during active riding.

Q: Are these breeches suitable for formal horse shows?

Absolutely. These breeches are designed with traditional MX styling and are available in colors that meet the requirements for dressage, show jumping, and other affiliated competitions.

Q: How should I care for the silicone full seat?

To maintain the integrity of the silicone grip on your Aubrion Optima MX Breeches, we recommend washing them inside out on a cool cycle and avoiding the use of fabric softeners or high heat in the dryer.
