Elite Performance Meets Show-Ring Sophistication

Finding a breech that balances high-level stability with a professional show-ring look can be a challenge, especially when the stakes are high. The Aubrion Optima LX Breeches by Shires are engineered to solve that, blending elite performance fabric with a sophisticated aesthetic that feels as good as it looks from the mounting block to the final salute.

Designed for the rider who demands both security and style, these breeches offer a "second-skin" fit that moves with you, not against you. Whether you're schooling at home or entering the dressage arena, the LX model provides the compression support needed for long days in the saddle while keeping you cool under pressure.

Why the Aubrion Optima LX Stands Out

• Superior Saddle Security: The full-seat silicone print features a subtle lattice design that provides high-level "stick" and stability without the bulk of traditional suede seats.
• Advanced Climate Protection: Built with moisture-wicking, quick-drying athletic fabric and UPF50+ protection, these breeches keep you comfortable and shielded during high-intensity rides in any weather.
• Show-Ready Aesthetics: Iridescent diamante chain embellishments at the pockets add a high-end, professional touch that is perfect for elite competition.
• 360º Contour Support: The highly elastic, technical fabric offers a compression-style fit that supports your muscles and provides a streamlined silhouette.
• Competition Compliant: Specifically designed to meet British Equestrian (GB) affiliated competition rules, making them a reliable choice for Dressage and Show Jumping.
