FAQs
Are these tights suitable for winter?
They are designed to be lightweight and breathable. They work well as a base layer under heavier breeches in winter but may not provide sufficient warmth on their own.
Can I use these for jumping?
Yes, the full silicone seat is designed to provide extra grip and security, making them perfectly suitable for jumping and flatwork.
Where is the pocket located?
The phone pocket is integrated into the side of the thigh for easy, secure access while mounted or on the ground.
How do I choose the right size?
These are designed to have a close, supportive fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider this when checking the size guide, but note that the compression is intentional for performance.
Will the silicone grip damage my saddle?
No, the silicone is designed specifically for equestrian use and is safe for use on all standard saddle materials.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to avoid the tumble dryer. High heat can damage the integrity of the silicone prints and the elastic fibers of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing traction
Wash the garment inside out in cool water to remove debris and oils that may have accumulated on the silicone surface.
Fabric bunching at the ankle
Ensure the shaped lower leg is pulled fully taut over the boot; the garment is cut to be streamlined to prevent this exact issue.
Waistband rolling down
Verify you have the correct size; if the waistband rolls, the garment may be too tight or not pulled up to its intended high-rise position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Aubrion Eltar riding tights, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the silicone grip properties.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can cause the silicone prints to crack or peel over time.
- Fit: These tights are designed as a close-fit garment. Select your standard size, but be aware that they are intended to be supportive and snug.
- Compatibility: These are suitable for all disciplines, though the performance fabric and grip are particularly well-suited for flatwork, hacking, and schooling.
