Full details
The Rhinegold Warmer Weight Riding Tights in Mid Blue (Size 16) are designed for adult female riders seeking comfort and warmth during cooler weather activities. Offering a stretchy, comfortable fit with a thermal brushed lining, these tights provide excellent grip thanks to the silicone dotted knee area. A potential caveat is that the heavier material, while providing warmth, may feel restrictive for very intense, fast-paced activities.

FAQs
Are these suitable for competition use?
These tights are designed for schooling and general riding. While the self-fabric seat is traditional, most competitions may require specific breeches or jodhpurs with more advanced grip features.
How warm are they compared to standard riding tights?
The 'Warmer Weight' designation indicates they are significantly warmer than standard, lighter-weight riding tights due to the heavier material and brushed thermal lining.
Can I wear these in very cold weather?
Yes, they provide good warmth. For extreme cold, consider layering with thermal base layers underneath.
How do I clean the silicone dots?
The silicone dots can be cleaned by following the standard washing instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which can damage the silicone.
What is the material composition?
The tights are made from a Nylon/Spandex mix, which provides a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
Is the pocket waterproof?
The pocket is designed to be hidden and secure, but it is not waterproof. It is best used for items that can tolerate moisture, like keys or a small lip balm.
What other colors are available?
While this guide focuses on Mid Blue, these riding tights are also available in Black.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Nylon/Spandex mix offers stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort.
Reduced grip from silicone dots
Wash the tights with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can leave a residue. Ensure the knee area is clean and dry before riding.
Waistband feels loose
While designed to be wide and comfortable, ensure the size selected is appropriate. The wide elastic should provide a snug fit without being restrictive.
Pilling on the brushed lining
Occasional pilling can occur with brushed fabrics after repeated washing. Follow care instructions carefully and consider washing inside out.
