I own a pair of these stabilyx tights, they are so awesome I want another pair. The only thing is, I own a size small and it is comfortable it bunches a little behind the knee when running but not bad. But I was reading the size chart and it seems I fall into the XS category. I am 5ft and weigh 120. I'm just worried the XS would be unbearably tight and cut off circulation. As is the seams in the small leave imprints in my skin for around 15 minutes after I remove them. My legs are thicker. What would you suggest?

Kathryn. Small is the right size for you. Don't worry about the bunching up behind the knee. As long as the tights are comfortable on your waist and around your quads, hips, etc you are fine. and yes, the flat internal seams do leave a little indentation in your legs. Just shows you the support/compression is working and you have a proper fit.

Hi Kathrynn, At 120, your weight falls into the XS size, but also at the bottom end of the S. Since you're a bit shorter than the range for S, that's probably why they're bunching behind the knees a bit (just about all of my pants do that...I'm short too). If you have a small and they're comfortable, go with that size. It sounds like the small is tight enough. Why change if the size is working for you? Happy running!
