FAQs
Are these tights suitable for competition?
While highly functional for training and daily work, please check your specific discipline's rulebook regarding riding tights versus traditional breeches.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
No, it is highly recommended to air dry them to protect the elasticity and the silicone grip.
Does the phone pocket hold a large smartphone?
The side drop-in pocket is designed to accommodate most modern standard-sized smartphones securely.
Do these provide warmth in winter?
These are primarily designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, so they are best suited for mild to warm weather or as a base layer under winter breeches.
How should I choose my size?
These tights feature an all-around stretch, but they are designed to be a snug, supportive fit. Refer to the standard size guide provided for your specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the tights in cool water without fabric softener and ensure they are fully air-dried.
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with rough surfaces, velcro, or sharp spurs to prevent yarn pulls in the lightweight fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Shires Aubrion Eltar Tights are designed as a pull-on garment. To maintain their longevity, it is recommended to wash them inside out on a cool cycle (30 degrees) to protect the integrity of the silicone grip. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the technical properties of the wicking fabric and weaken the grip's adhesive bond. Air dry the tights away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from losing its elasticity.
