Coldstream Oxnam Competition Full Seat Riding Tights
Description
Coldstream Next Generation Oxnam Competition Riding Tights
The Coldstream Oxnam Competition Riding Tights are technical full seat riding tights that give the smart appearance of a breech with the comfort and stretch of a tight. They are made for riders who want competition-ready looks with everyday comfort, from dressage and flatwork to schooling, hacking and yard days.
The fabric is luxuriously soft against the skin, moisture wicking and antibacterial, and originates from recycled plastic bottles following meticulous curation. Full seat silicone, a broad high waistband and vertical leg perforations make this one of the best choices for riders who find standard breeches too restrictive but still need a tidy, arena-appropriate finish.

How to Use
- Measure your natural waist and hip, then compare with the size guide. Most riders take their usual size; size up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser thigh.
- Pull the tights on from the foot upwards, easing the sock section into place before drawing the leg up smoothly.
- Sit the broad waistband at its natural high position on the waist and smooth out any folds behind the knee.
- Load your phone into one of the two side pockets and check the weight sits comfortably before mounting.
- Pull long boots or half chaps over the perforated sock section for a low-bulk fit.
- After riding, machine wash cool inside out, then dry naturally away from direct heat to protect the silicone seat.

FAQ
Are riding tights smart enough for competition?
The Oxnam tights are designed to give the smart appearance of a breech, so they look tidy and arena-appropriate while feeling like a tight. Always check your discipline's current turnout rules for the class you are entering.
What size should I order?
The stretch technical fabric means most riders can order their usual size. If you are between sizes, or prefer a more relaxed fit through the thigh and seat, choose the larger size and measure your natural waist and hip against the size guide first.
Does the full seat silicone work in all saddles?
The advanced full seat silicone is designed to grip the saddle for improved security. Grip feels strongest on smooth leather; on heavily grained or synthetic seats the sensation can differ slightly.
Can I wear these under long riding boots?
Yes. The perforated socks are shaped to reduce bulk under long boots and encourage airflow, which is why they suit warmer days and longer sessions.
What are the tights made from?
The fabric originates from recycled plastic bottles and is moisture wicking, antibacterial and soft against the skin, with technical 50+ UV block protection.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cool with similar colours, avoid fabric softener, do not tumble dry and keep irons away from the silicone seat and raised branding, as heat can damage silicone.
