FAQs
Are these tights suitable for winter?
They are best for transitional or mild weather. For deep winter, you may need overshoes or warmer full-length layers.
Can I use these for mountain biking?
Yes, the cargo pockets are excellent for MTB gear, provided the items are secured properly.
How should I wash the gel pad?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild soap. Never use fabric softener as it can degrade the foam.
What is the benefit of 3/4 length?
It provides extra warmth for the knees compared to shorts, helping to keep joints comfortable in cool conditions.
Is the fabric waterproof?
No, these are designed for breathability and comfort rather than weatherproofing against heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Pad feels out of position during the ride
Ensure the tights are pulled up firmly before starting; check if the size is correct, as loose tights can cause the pad to shift.
Mesh pockets losing elasticity
Avoid overstuffing pockets with heavy items like large locks or water bottles. Wash in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your tights, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Pull the tights up carefully to align the pad centrally under your sit bones; avoid pulling from the mesh pockets to prevent tearing.
- Care Instructions: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle (30°C). Use mild, non-biological detergent to preserve the gel pad integrity.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, iron, or use bleach, as these can compromise the elasticity and reflective materials.
- Storage: Fold neatly or hang by the waist to avoid stretching the leg cuffs or mesh pockets.
