Ride with Confidence and Compression

The Aubrion Optima GX Riding Tights are built for the rider who demands more from their gear than just a stretchy pair of leggings. Whether you're navigating a technical jump course or putting in the hours at a clinic, these tights offer the perfect blend of athletic performance and high-end style. From our barn to yours, we know that a secure seat and a supportive fit make all the difference when the pressure is on.

Shires has engineered these tights with a 360º contour support system that acts like a second skin, stabilizing your core and supporting your muscles through every stride. No more adjusting your waistband mid-ride—the deep, high-waist design ensures these stay exactly where they belong, allowing you to focus entirely on your horse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for the Aubrion Optima GX Riding Tights?

These tights use Alpha sizing (XXS-XXXL). Because they are designed with high-compression fabric for a supportive feel, they are intended to be very snug. If you are between sizes or simply prefer a less restrictive fit, we recommend sizing up from your usual dress size.

Q: Are these tights suitable for summer riding?

Absolutely. The Aubrion Optima GX features rapid-wicking, highly breathable fabric and UPF50+ protection, making them an excellent choice for keeping cool and protected during the hottest months of the season.

Q: Can I wear these in the show ring?

Yes! When purchased in White or Beige, these tights are designed to comply with GB affiliated rules for Dressage and Show Jumping, offering a modern, high-performance alternative to traditional breeches.
