How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Aubrion. The tights feature a high-waisted design and 360º contour support for a sculpted fit. It's important to choose the size that corresponds to your measurements for optimal comfort and performance.
Can I put my phone in the pockets?

How should I wash and care for the riding tights?
Machine wash inside out at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron. This will help maintain the fabric's moisture-wicking properties and the integrity of the silicone grip.

What is the material of the riding tights?

Are the diamante details on the pockets purely decorative?
Yes, the tonal diamante detailing above the pockets is purely decorative, adding an elegant touch suitable for competition attire.
Troubleshooting
Riding tights feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size guide. The high-waisted and contoured design should offer a snug, supportive fit. If the fit is excessively tight, consider if a larger size is needed.
Reduced grip from silicone seats
Clean the silicone grip area with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue that may be affecting its stickiness. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Fabric not drying quickly
Ensure the care instructions are followed, particularly regarding drying methods. Air drying in a well-ventilated area is recommended. Avoid high heat drying which can damage the fabric's properties.
Discomfort from seams
The comfort seams are designed to minimize irritation. Ensure the tights are being worn the correct way around and that no external factors (like dirt or debris) are causing friction.
