Best tights I've tried thus far.

By becomingdi1405747 Ranked #173 - Men's Performance Tights May 11, 2009

Despite some initial reservations, I am very pleased with the Salomon EXO II tight. Unlike the CW-X tights, of which I own four different models, the Salomon have true flat-stitched seams throughout, which allow them to be worn comfortably and chafe-free without underwear. The material also feels very sleek and is decidedly lightweight, ideal for warm-weather use. Even compared to the CW-X Ventilator, which utilizes mesh panels to keep things cool, the Salomon EXO II felt much cooler. Accordingly, they would be rubbish in the cold, so don't even think about it. When used on a recent 18-mile trail run, I finished with legs that felt fresh and ready for more. I don't know if that is entirely due to the tights, but they certainly seemed to help; my quads and hamstrings felt much better than my unsupported calves. If only Salomon made the EXO II in a full-length design.

PRO: Lightweight, super-stretchy, breathable material. Excellent support. Flat seams throughout (no chafing). Attractive design.

CON: Not available in full-length. 3/4 length may cause bunching behind knees, but only if you have huge calves (I do)
