Because in cold weather, comfort is queen. Honestly, comfort is always number one, but I'm a cold wuss. When I'm riding in cold weather, I've got enough to focus on without having to worry about my riding tights. They need to keep me warm, without overheating. They need to be so comfortable that I forget about wearing them. And they need to help me look good enough to not feel self-conscious.
The fabric on these are a good tight knit to keep the cold air out, while still allowing you to move freely. And a heavier weight fabric without making you feel like the Michelin man.
And silicone, or not. It's your ride and your choice. Whether you prefer extra security in the saddle, or total freedom, we've got you covered.
And because we need to carry things. One little pocket is never enough, so these have a good sized phone pocket on each thigh. Large enough to hold even a big phone securely, as well a zip pocket in the back of the waistband. Perfect for money for the instructor, or keeping that copy of the dressage test handy.
