FAQs

Are these riding tights suitable for all equestrian disciplines?

Yes, they are designed for versatility and are suitable for various disciplines including dressage, show jumping, and general riding, meeting GB affiliated competition rules.

What is the primary benefit of the 360º contour support?

The 360º contour support provides a sculpted fit that enhances the rider's silhouette, offering a sleek appearance and a secure, supportive feel in the saddle.

How do I care for the silicone grips on the seat?

The silicone grips require no special care beyond following the general washing instructions for the tights. Ensure the tights are clean to maintain optimal grip.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for warmer conditions, helping to keep you comfortable by drawing sweat away from the skin.

What material are the tights made from?

The tights are made from a blend of materials, including Silk and Nylon, chosen for performance, comfort, and fit. Specific material composition may vary slightly between some variants.

Do the phone pockets have closures?

The description indicates discreet phone pockets on both legs. They are designed for easy access and secure storage, but do not specify a closure type like zippers or buttons.

What does 'high-waisted design' mean in this context?

A high-waisted design means the waistband sits at or above the natural waistline, offering greater coverage, core support, and a secure fit that stays in place.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360º contour support is designed to be close-fitting; refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements. Allow a short breaking-in period.

Silicone grips are not effective

Ensure the seat area is clean and free from dirt, oil, or residue. Wash the tights as per care instructions if necessary. Check that the silicone grips are not worn or damaged.

Fabric feels less breathable over time

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede breathability. Ensure the tights are washed regularly to remove sweat and skin oils that can clog the fabric's pores.

Phone pocket feels insecure

Ensure the phone is placed correctly within the pocket and that the pocket itself is not overstretched. For very large phones, consider a secure armband accessory if preferred.
