FAQs

What type of competition is this jacket best suited for?

The Aubrion Optima GX Show Jacket is designed for elite competition performance and is suitable for various disciplines where a polished and professional appearance is required, such as dressage, show jumping, and eventing. The subtle diamante detailing adds a touch of elegance suitable for championship events.

How do I wash the Aubrion Optima GX Show Jacket?

Machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. It should be hung to air dry.

Is the diamante detailing durable?

The diamante detailing is designed to be refined and subtle. While generally durable with proper care, it is recommended to follow the specific washing and care instructions to maintain its condition and prevent detachment.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket features practical zip pockets for secure storage of small essentials.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a sleek, tailored fit designed to be shape-enhancing and flattering for a female silhouette. It also incorporates in-motion stretch for comfort and freedom of movement.

What makes the fabric performance-oriented?

The fabric is engineered to be breathable and temperature-regulating, with moisture-wicking properties. This helps to keep the rider comfortable by managing sweat and heat during activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive during movement.

Ensure the front zip is fully closed and the popper buttons are fastened correctly. Verify that the stretch fabric is not caught on any undergarments. The jacket is designed for freedom of movement, so significant restriction may indicate an improper fit or an issue with the fabric's alignment.

Diamante detailing appears loose or detached.

Gently inspect the affected area. If a diamante is loose, it can sometimes be carefully re-secured by a professional tailor or seamstress. Avoid pulling or snagging the detailing to prevent further detachment.

Jacket feels warm or non-breathable.

Confirm that the garment is not layered with excessive undergarments that could impede breathability. Ensure the moisture-wicking lining is functioning correctly by checking for any residues or damage that might hinder its performance. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to refresh its wicking properties.

Zip is difficult to move.

Check the zipper teeth for any dirt, debris, or fabric snags. Gently clean the zipper area with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and try moving the slider slowly. Ensure the placket fabric is not caught in the zipper.
