Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I choose the right size for the Aubrion Optima PX Show Coat?

For the best fit, measure around the widest part of your chest while wearing your typical show shirt. The Aubrion Optima PX Show Coat features an athletic, tailored fit; if you prefer a bit more room or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure comfort through the shoulders.

Q: Is this coat appropriate for dressage as well as jumping?

Absolutely. The elegant, pared-back design and hidden zipper meet the traditional standards for dressage while providing the extreme stretch and breathability required for the show jumping phase of eventing.

Q: Where should the hem of the coat sit for proper form?

To maintain proper show ring form, the back of the coat should hit right at your tailbone, and the sleeves should sit at the wrist bone when your arms are in a 90-degree riding position.
