- "These invaluable tights are resistant to electricity. They're made with something called "rubber," an ancient technology that no longer exists in this modern age."
- — In-game description
The Rubber Tights is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is leg armor, crafted with ancient technology that makes it resistant to electricity thanks to the ancient material "rubber" which no longer exists in Hyrule in modern times. It can be obtained in the Qukah Nata Shrine uncovered by completing the Shrine quest "A Song of Storms" given by Kass in Calora Lake.
After completing the side quest "From the Ground Up", Link can purchase it from the Rare Armor Shop allowing Link to reacquire it if he sold it.
These tights are a piece of the set comprising the Rubber Helm and Armor. Link can also dye it at the Kochi Dye Shop.
Set Bonus[]
Once all three pieces are upgraded to level 2 (★★) or higher, the worn set grants the Unshockable Bonus which makes Link immune to lightning, electric attacks, and being shocked thus the armor is ideal for combating electric enemies, though it offers no protection from Vah Naboris' lightning which only the Lightning Proof Thunder Helm can withstand. It also allows Link to approach Farosh without worrying about being shocked by the ball lightning the Dragon spirit involuntarily emits from its body, thus it is extremely useful for obtaining Farosh's Dragon Parts.
