White riding tights for competition

[scats]

Does anyone wear riding tights for competing?
Are they awfully see-through?

I’ve lost weight and my white competition breeches now look horribly baggy so I’m looking for some new ones. I like pull-on style really and I recently bought myself a grey pair of riding tights for everyday use, which I really like from a comfort point of view, so I was considering trying white riding tights for competitions. Or is that a dreadful idea?

Recommendations much appreciated.

Sorry no help on makes, but saw a girl competing in white riding tights for the first time at the weekend and definitely see through.

Oop. I haven’t but have wondered about the noble outfitters ones in lighter colour as they are a thicker material than most so might be ok. I find them really comfy and now have two sets. But I don’t compete enough to warrant white or beige versions.

Scratch that, I thought I’d see them in white but now don’t think they do lighter colours.

Will be very brand dependent as material varies - perhaps worth looking at the winter weight options as they'll be slightly thicker material?

The beige Dublin ones are fine, if you're willing to go darker.

What about Kerrits? They do silicone seated beige and white tights made for competing. I had a beige pair I use for XC and dark ones for home use - they're very comfy. Cant say if the white is see through though - do you really need white?

I am a Kerrits convert having bought a pair in the States a couple of weeks ago. They are better than Noble for the summer and far less 'slippy' material. Where can you get them in the UK? Would love a beige full seat pair.

My friend bought cheap riding tights for about £20 from Derby House and competes in them. They aren't see through (unless it rains I suppose, but that's the same with most white breeches!)

Thanks, I might look at those.

I like white for dressage. I’ll have a look at Kerrits, thanks.
