Product Information

Full details

These Rhinegold Warmer Weight Riding Tights are designed for adult female riders seeking comfortable and warm legwear for equestrian activities. The key benefit is their thermal lining and stretchy fit, providing warmth and flexibility during colder weather. A potential caveat is that the self-fabric seat panel, while offering a traditional look, may provide less grip than full silicone seats. The tights feature a durable Nylon/Spandex mix, a soft brushed lining for insulation, flat overlock stitching for comfort, an extra-wide elasticated waistband, a hidden zip pocket, and a silicone dotted knee area for enhanced grip.

FAQs

Are these tights suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the soft brushed lining provides thermal properties, making them suitable for colder riding conditions.

What is the main advantage of the Nylon/Spandex mix?

The Nylon/Spandex mix provides a comfortable, stretchy fit that allows for freedom of movement and a flattering silhouette.

How much grip does the silicone dotted knee offer?

The silicone dots are designed to offer enhanced grip and stability in the saddle, helping to maintain a secure leg position.

Can I wear these for competition?

These tights are suitable for general riding and schooling. For formal competitions, check the specific rules of your discipline, as some may require traditional breeches. The self-fabric seat offers a traditional look.

What should I wear under these tights?

You can wear standard thermal underwear or base layers if extra warmth is needed, but the brushed lining often provides sufficient insulation on its own. Ensure any base layer is smooth to avoid bulk.

How do I clean the silicone dots?

Simply follow the general care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the silicone's effectiveness. Gentle washing and air drying are best.

What is the purpose of the self-fabric seat panel?

The self-fabric seat panel provides a traditional aesthetic common in riding wear and offers a comfortable seating area.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and measure your waist and hips. The Nylon/Spandex mix is stretchy, so a proper fit is key to comfort.

Grip from silicone knee dots seems reduced.

Check if fabric softener was used during washing, as this can impact silicone grip. Wash again with a mild detergent without fabric softener. Ensure the knee area is clean and dry.

Waistband feels loose.

While designed for comfort, if the waistband is too loose, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate. Ensure the tights are pulled up correctly.

Pocket zipper is stiff.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny drop of silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid overfilling the pocket to prevent stress on the zipper.
