FAQs
Can I wear these for winter cycling?
These are 3/4 length tights, which are best suited for mild to cool conditions; they are generally not warm enough for freezing winter temperatures.
How do I ensure the pad stays comfortable?
The ProGel 3D pad is designed to provide support. Ensure the tights are pulled up snugly and properly positioned before starting your ride to prevent the pad from shifting.
Are these tights machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees Celsius with mild detergent, but do not tumble dry.
What should I avoid when washing the tights?
Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high-heat drying, as these can damage the technical fabric and the integrated padding.
Do these provide visibility in the dark?
Yes, they feature retroreflective trims that help increase your visibility to other motorists in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Leg hem sliding up during ride
Ensure the skin is clean and free of oils or lotions before putting on the tights, as residue can reduce the effectiveness of the silicon grip.
Moisture feeling trapped inside
Check that you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as this residue prevents the fabric from wicking moisture effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Progel 3/4 Tights, it is important to follow standard athletic apparel care protocols. Always wash the tights at a low temperature, ideally 30 degrees Celsius, using a mild detergent. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the Altura Dry technology. It is highly recommended to air dry these tights away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the silicon grips and the elastic components of the 3D pad. Check the fit around the waist and knees prior to your first long ride to ensure no binding or restriction occurs while pedaling.
