Bit to much support

By Mindy Randall Ranked #489 - Women's Trail Running Clothing December 29, 2008

Purchased tights for trail running, I have knee problems and wanted extra support for them. These tights definitely provided that, but at a cost, I felt restricted in my ability to bend my knees for the steppy ups of rocky trails. The tights also bunched up around the knee area. I am 5'4" and 135lbs. The chart recommended a small but having larger than normal legs, I got a Medium. They seemed to fit fairly well but very tight around the calves and butt areas. I thought that this was okay because they were support tights but it really was a problem for me, even during road runs. I think that these tights would be great for a more normal shaped runner, doing road runs, but not for me and my steppy trail scrambles.
