FAQs
Are these tights suitable for competition?
These are primarily designed for daily training sessions and barn work, though the clean design makes them appropriate for casual or schooling shows depending on your club's regulations.
How do I determine my size?
This specific item is a UK 14. If you are between sizes, the high-stretch nature of the fabric typically allows for a flexible fit, but check the Dublin size chart for exact measurements.
Can I tumble dry these tights?
No, it is highly recommended to line dry. Tumble drying can degrade the elasticity and cause the suede patches to harden or crack.
Are the patches real or synthetic suede?
The patches are made from a durable synthetic suede material designed to provide a consistent, high-grip surface that is easier to maintain than genuine leather.
Do these tights have belt loops?
The design focuses on a streamlined, pull-on aesthetic, providing a sleek silhouette without the bulk of belt loops.
Troubleshooting
Knee patches losing grip
Wash the tights to remove dust and hair, then gently brush the suede patches with a soft brush to restore the texture.
Fabric appearing thin or pilled
Avoid washing with heavy-duty items like denim or items with zippers/velcro that may cause surface abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK dress size (this model is UK 14). When pulling them on, avoid using sharp fingernails or jewelry that could snag the performance fabric. To maintain the life of the garment, machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fibers and reduce the stretch quality. Always hang-dry these tights; avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage both the synthetic fabric's elasticity and the integrity of the suede knee patches. If the suede feels stiff after washing, gently brush the patches with a soft-bristled brush once completely dry to restore the nap.
