FAQs

Are these suitable for all-day wear, or just riding?

While designed for riding performance, the thermal and compressive features make them comfortable for general wear in cold weather, especially around the stables.

What type of warmth do these offer?

They offer significant warmth due to the thermal fabric, making them ideal for winter conditions. They are designed to protect against harsh winter elements.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the Ariat sizing guide for the most accurate measurement. The compressive nature means a proper fit is crucial for both comfort and performance.

Can I wear these in very wet conditions?

These tights are designed for 'all-weather performance' and offer protection against winter elements. While they provide some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, separate waterproof gear may be needed.

What does 'Silicone Grip Half Grip' mean?

This refers to strategically placed silicone patterns on the inner thigh area of the tights, designed to provide extra grip and stability against the saddle, without covering the entire leg.

Are these made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the tights are made in accordance with Bluesign sustainability standards, indicating a commitment to environmentally conscious production.

How should I care for the silicone grip?

To maintain the grip, wash the tights according to the care instructions and avoid using fabric softeners, which can make the silicone slippery.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Ariat sizing chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider if a different style might be more suitable.

Reduced grip effectiveness

Clean the silicone grip areas with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Oils and dirt can reduce the grip's efficacy.

Material losing elasticity

Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the spandex content over time.

Phone pocket size is insufficient

These pockets are designed for standard smartphone sizes. Larger or unusually shaped devices may not fit securely.
