FAQs
Are these riding tights suitable for competition?
These tights are primarily designed for training and general riding due to the self-fabric seat and silicone knee grip. While comfortable, they may not meet the aesthetic requirements for all formal competitions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Rhinegold size chart provided on the product page or retailer's website. Measure your waist and hip circumference and compare with the chart. The Nylon/Spandex mix offers some stretch, but a correct base size is important.
Can I wear these in very cold weather?
Yes, the soft brushed lining provides thermal properties making them suitable for colder riding conditions. For extreme cold, consider layering with base layers.
How durable is the silicone grip?
The silicone dotted knee area is designed for good grip during riding. Like most grip technologies, its effectiveness can be maintained by following care instructions and avoiding harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying.
What is the difference between these and standard breeches?
These are riding tights, offering a closer, more flexible fit like leggings, with the added benefits of thermal lining and silicone grip. Standard breeches often have a more structured design and different seat construction (e.g., full seat or knee patch).
How do I clean the hidden zip pocket?
The zip pocket is part of the waistband construction. Clean it by wiping with a slightly damp cloth if needed, ensuring it is dry before storing items. The overall washing instructions for the tights apply.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Rhinegold size guide. The wide elasticated waistband is designed for comfort, but fit can vary by individual body shape.
Silicone grip is reducing effectiveness
Check that the knee area is clean and free from dirt or grease. Avoid using fabric conditioners during washing, as these can affect the silicone's grip. Wash according to care instructions.
Fabric feels warmer than expected
The brushed lining provides significant warmth. For very hot weather, consider lighter weight riding wear. These tights are best suited for cooler temperatures.
Stitching appears to be unraveling
Inspect the stitching after washing. If there is a minor issue, it may be repairable by hand. For significant issues, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These riding tights require no special setup; they are ready to wear after purchase. They are compatible with standard riding attire. For care, it is recommended to machine wash them on a cool cycle with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the material and affect the silicone grip. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the silicone dots. It's advisable to turn them inside out before washing to protect the outer finish and the grip.
