Full details
The Shires Aubrion Eltar Riding Tights are designed for adult riders seeking a secure, lightweight, and breathable base layer for daily equestrian activities. These tights excel in the saddle by providing excellent grip and moisture-wicking capabilities, making them an ideal choice for long practice sessions. While they offer superior comfort and flexibility, potential users should note that they are designed as a streamlined, close-fit garment, which may be more form-fitting than traditional breeches.

FAQs
Are these tights suitable for winter riding?
They are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, making them best as a base layer in cold weather or as standalone tights in moderate to warm temperatures.
Will my phone fall out of the side pocket?
The side pocket is specifically designed with a secure fit to hold most standard smartphones snugly against the thigh during movement.
Can I tumble dry these tights?
No, it is recommended to air dry them to preserve the integrity of the silicone grip and the stretch properties of the technical fabric.
Do they provide protection against rubbing?
Yes, the full silicone print and seamless construction are specifically designed to protect the rider against rubs and chafing in the saddle.
How do I choose the right size?
The tights offer all-round stretch; refer to the standard size guide based on your waist measurement to achieve the intended close-fit performance.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the garment inside out to remove dirt or oil buildup and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the silicone.
Tights rolling down at the waist
Ensure you are using the correct size; the high-rise waistband is designed to sit at the natural waistline for maximum security.
Pros and Cons

- High-rise waistband provides excellent coverage and support
- Effective moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties
- Secure side pocket for convenient phone storage

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Eltar riding tights, wash them inside out on a cool cycle (30°C) to protect the silicone print. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can break down the technical wicking fibers and reduce the tackiness of the silicone grips. These tights are highly compatible with most equestrian footwear, as the shaped lower leg eliminates excess bulk, allowing for a clean fit inside tall boots or half chaps. Always hang to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the waistband and fabric.
