Dublin performance cool it gel riding tights review

Top critical review

3.0 out of 5 starsGREAT Breeches except for Two Important Things

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

NEGATIVES:
I don't like that the pant sizes are 8, 10, 12, and the actual size on the pants are 28, 30, 32. These are a little small because I chose 12, my size, but the pants are actually size 30. Had the sizes been LISTED in waist inches like the pants, I would have known to order 32.

They are very short. I'm 5'8", and they are 5" above my ankle bones.

That having been said, I LOVE these Breeches. If not for the inaccurate sizing and the shortness, I would have rated these a 5 star. They are stretchy, comfortable, and I like the little gel dots, they provide a really secure seat in the saddle. They are very well made.

Careful with European sizing. Nice fabric and design but the seams are a bit wavy.

These are working out really great for my daughter. She is 5’1” and 99 lbs and we got the 4 and like other reviews they do run small. Next time we will get the 6. The sticky seat really keeps her in her saddle.

I love the length of these tights, as I have a short inseam, but they were too snug in the waist, yet a little baggy in the thigh. I've always been thicker waisted, no matter my weight, so these just didn't fit my body type. The quality looked good. I'm really disappointed that these didn't fit. I would also have preferred a slightly higher rise. I put back in the mail for return yesterday.

I love them but they run small, I wear a size 6 or 8 in normal pants, I ordered a 10 in these and they are tight! I do love the grip I have in the saddle though

Awesome breeches! I LOVE them. They grip like crazy but still able to move in the saddle. My mare tried to dump me while wearing and I didn't move. Thank you!

Love these pants. Keep your secure in the saddle and are very comfortable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly pleased, I could do with being 2” taller!

I really struggle with jodphurs/breeches but thought I’d give these a go. I am 5’3” so a lot are too long in the leg. These sit on my ankle without being uncomfortable in boots feeling like they are pressing in. My only criticism is they are a bit uncomfortable behind the knee as the gel bits come to just below the backs of my knees and I think that is what is making them uncomfortable, if your 5’5” and over I don’t think you’d have this problem. I’m in between a 12-14 and have avoided the tights before as always show any lumps and bumps, I brought a 14 and they hide my wobbly bits well. They are a little loose on my waist but nothing a belt wouldn’t fix and fit really well through the thighs without feeling like I’ve squished myself into them. Felt good in the saddle and no slipping

5.0 out of 5 stars Very comfy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 11, 2020

Extremely comfy and stretchy. Bought for eventing as find regular jods quite restrictive unless you spend a fortune. Not terribly flattering if you're not slim as no support for your tummy but fine if can cover it up with show jacket etc.! Lovely and sticky. Perfect for spring/summer competitions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product

Perfect for just slipping on when in a hurry. The silicone grip is excellent. I was worried that they might be a bit 'see through' but their not at all. Very comfortable and true to size. Will be getting a white pair for competitions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wrong colour

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 27, 2020

Seem to be very nice, didn't try them in the saddle yet but very comfy. Didn't give full marks as rubber in waist has very little stretch and feels tight, even though it's not (I know it sounds strange, but that is how it feels). Second disappointment is the colour, I ordered black, but got navy. I don't know if they think I'm colour blind, because original sticker on bag was covered with one that says black.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good all rounder

I bought my first pair of Dublin riding tights when I was struggling with stirupless work on a particularly bouncy horse. They did the trick without making it impossible to move. I now have a grey and a black pair but the material for the black pair is a lot less stretchy so it feels like they are at least a size smaller. I’ve deducted a star only because of the lack of pocket but otherwise these are an affordable, comfortable pair of breeches that do what they are supposed to. Some might find them too short but at 5’ 2” the leg length is perfect.
