FAQs
Are these riding tights suitable for all seasons?
These are warmer weight tights with a brushed lining, making them ideal for cooler weather (autumn, winter, early spring). They may be too warm for strenuous activity in summer or hot climates.
How do I clean the silicone grip on the knees?
The silicone grip is best maintained by washing the tights according to the care instructions (30°C, gentle cycle) and avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure the area is clean and dry before use.
Can I wear these for general fitness activities?
While they offer comfort and stretch, they are specifically designed for equestrian use with features like knee grip. For general fitness, dedicated activewear might be more suitable, but they can be worn for light activities.
What is the material composition?
The tights are made from a Nylon/Spandex mix, providing both durability and stretch.
Is the pocket large enough for a smartphone?
The hidden zip pocket is designed for small essentials like keys, cards, or a very small, slim phone. For larger smartphones, it might be a tight fit.
How should I care for the brushed lining?
The brushed lining is durable and requires standard care. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents which can damage the fabric's texture and thermal properties.
What is the fit like?
They are designed for a comfortable, stretchy fit with an extra wide, soft elasticated waistband for support. The fit is generally described as snug but flexible.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Nylon/Spandex mix should offer stretch, but a size too small will feel restrictive. Consider trying the next size up if discomfort persists.
Silicone grip is less effective.
Check for cleanliness. Wash the tights as per care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Ensure the knee area is dry before riding, as moisture can reduce grip.
Waistband feels loose or slips down.
While designed for comfort, if the waistband is consistently slipping, it may indicate the size is too large, or the elastic has lost tension over time. Ensure the waistband is pulled up fully during wear.
Discomfort from stitching.
The flat overlock stitching is designed to minimize discomfort. If you experience rubbing, ensure the garment is positioned correctly on your body. If irritation persists, consult the care instructions and ensure no damage has occurred to the stitching.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity and performance of your Rhinegold Warmer Weight Riding Tights:

- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the silicone grip and affect the fabric's stretch.
