FAQs
Are these tights suitable for competitions?
Yes, they feature a polished design with subtle branding, making them appropriate for both daily training and casual riding competitions.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
These tights are sized by age group (e.g., 7-8, 9-10). We recommend selecting based on the child's typical clothing size to ensure the best fit.
Does the silicone seat damage the saddle?
No, the silicone used is specifically designed to be gentle on leather saddles while providing grip for the rider.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to use a tumble dryer, as heat can warp the silicone print and cause the stretchy fabric to lose its shape.
Are the thigh pockets large enough for modern smartphones?
The pockets are designed to be deep and secure, accommodating most standard-sized mobile phones used by children.
Troubleshooting
Silicone seat losing grip over time
Wash the garment according to instructions and ensure no fabric softeners were used, as these leave a residue that makes silicone slippery.
Waistband sliding down during riding
Ensure you are wearing the correct size; the anti-roll waistband is designed to sit high, so verify it is pulled up correctly above the hip bones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your John Whitaker tights, follow these care guidelines: wash in cool water on a delicate cycle to protect the integrity of the silicone print. Always turn the garment inside out before washing to prevent the silicone from rubbing against the drum of the machine. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or fabric softeners, as these can break down the elastic fibers and reduce the tackiness of the silicone seat. Hang dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric color and elasticity.
