FAQs
Are these tights suitable for summer use?
No, these are specifically designed with a fleece lining for winter and cold-weather riding.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these to prevent heat damage to the silicone grips and technical fleece fabric.
Does the pocket fit a large smartphone?
The thigh pocket is designed to securely hold most standard and large-sized smartphones.

The tights feature a supportive deep waistband designed for a secure fit without the need for an external drawstring.
How do I choose the right size?
The Shires Aubrion line typically follows standard women's sizing; refer to the manufacturer's size chart to match your waist and hip measurements.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip becoming slippery
Wash the tights inside out with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as residue can build up on the silicone.
Visible pilling on fabric
Ensure you are not wearing the tights against rough surfaces or abrasive tack; wash with similar smooth fabrics.
Fit feels too loose after multiple wears
The fabric is designed for recovery; machine wash according to label instructions to return the fibers to their original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these tights are a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain the elasticity and the integrity of the silicone grip. Always wash the tights inside out to protect the silicone pattern from friction against other clothing. Use a mild, non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical properties of the fabric and the effectiveness of the silicone. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent the heat of a tumble dryer from damaging the insulating fleece or the grip elements.
