FAQs
What is a baselayer and why should my child wear it?
A baselayer is worn directly against the skin. Its purpose is to provide warmth, support muscles, and wick away moisture, keeping the wearer comfortable during physical activity, especially in cooler temperatures.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
This specific variant is sized for children aged 7-8 years. Refer to standard children's UK sizing. Baselayers are designed for a snug, compression fit, so they will feel tighter than regular clothing.
Can these tights be worn for all types of sports?
Yes, they are versatile and suitable for a wide range of activities including gym sessions, outdoor training, and as a layering piece for winter sports, particularly where warmth and muscle support are beneficial.
What is the fabric composition of the tights?
The Grey Marl variant is composed of 90% Polyester and 10% Lycra, while other colors are 92% Polyester and 8% Lycra. This blend provides durability, stretch, and comfort.
How do I wash these baselayer tights?
The tights are machine washable. It's best to wash them with similar colors on a cool or warm cycle to protect the fabric's elasticity and shape. Air drying is recommended, or use a low heat setting if machine drying.
Why is there a warning to 'keep away from fire'?
The tights are made from synthetic materials (Polyester and Lycra) which can melt or ignite if exposed to open flames or high heat. This is a crucial safety instruction to prevent injury.
Are these tights designed to be worn alone or under other clothes?
They can be worn alone for activities like gym sessions in mild conditions, but they are primarily designed as a baselayer to be worn under other clothing for added warmth and support, especially in cold weather.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel too tight or restrictive.
These tights feature a compression fit designed to be snug and supportive. Ensure you have the correct size for the user's age group (e.g., 7-8 years for this variant). If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or style if a looser fit is preferred.
Experiencing skin irritation or chafing.
The tights are made with flat lock seams to minimize irritation. Ensure the seams are not twisted or bunched up. Wash the tights before first use to remove any manufacturing residues. If irritation continues, ensure the skin is clean and dry before wearing.
Tights are not providing enough warmth.
While providing added warmth for cooler conditions, these are baselayer tights. For very cold or extreme weather, additional outer layers are necessary. Ensure the tights are clean and dry, as damp fabric can reduce insulating properties.
Reduced elasticity or loss of shape over time.
To maintain the integrity of the LYCRA® fibre, avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and excessive heat during washing and drying. Always follow the machine washable instructions and air dry when possible.

Compatibility
These tights are designed for kids, specifically male, in the 7-8 years age group (for this specific variant). They are intended as a baselayer, meaning they should be worn directly against the skin, often under other clothing layers, particularly in cooler temperatures. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic wear and can be used for various sports and activities.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your baselayer tights:
- Washing: Machine washable. Always follow the specific instructions on the garment's care label. Generally, wash with similar colors on a cool or warm cycle.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the Lycra fibres and prevent shrinkage. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting.
- Safety: Crucially, keep away from fire. Synthetic materials can melt or ignite if exposed to open flames or high heat.
