Product Information
Full details
The Dublin Performance Flex Knee Patch Riding Tights are designed for adult female riders who prioritize comfort and flexibility during long hours in the saddle. Constructed with high-performance four-way stretch material and durable suede knee patches, these tights provide essential grip and freedom of movement for daily equestrian activities. While these tights offer superior comfort compared to traditional breeches, users should note that they are pull-on style and lack the structural heavy-duty zip and hook closures found on formal show breeches.

FAQs
Are these tights suitable for horse shows?
These are primarily designed for schooling and daily training; most formal shows require traditional breeches with zips and belt loops.
Do these have belt loops?
No, these are designed as pull-on tights for a sleek, minimalist fit.
Is the fabric see-through?
The performance fabric is designed to be opaque, though it is always recommended to ensure the sizing is correct to prevent over-stretching the material.
How do I know if this UK 18 size is right for me?
Consult your body measurements against the standard Dublin sizing chart, focusing on your waist and hip circumference for the best fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended, as heat can degrade the elasticity of the performance fabric and damage the suede patches.
Troubleshooting
Fabric losing elasticity after multiple washes
Avoid using high heat in the dryer; always hang dry to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers.
Suede patches becoming stiff
Once dry, gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush to restore the nap and flexibility of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dublin Performance Flex Tights maintain their integrity, always check the size guide for a proper fit—this UK 18 size is intended to offer a secure, skin-tight fit. They are highly compatible with standard half-chaps, tall boots, and paddock boots. Regarding care, because of the suede knee patches, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the texture from the suede. Always air dry the tights away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from losing its elasticity.
