Comfortable and functional

By Cabernet Ranked #141 - Women's Performance Tights April 17, 2011

I've been wearing these on casual night runs now that the weather has warmed up (40s-50s at night) and I'm really pleased with them. The pants as a whole are comfortable, stretchy, and breathable, and the waistband in particular is also very comfortable - stretchy and fairly wide. It does have a drawstring, but I don't need it because these fit perfectly (I'm 5'8"/125 lbs and got the small). These hit just below my knees, which is a little shorter than they're supposed to, as the mesh behind the knees is centered a couple inches too higher. But it's wide enough that it hits the top of my knee so it still works well enough. Plus, even after 3 short runs the tights still smell good. I also like the reflector stripes across the thighs.

Minor details: The tights have two pockets - one business-card-sized mesh pocket inside the pants and a pocket about the size of a Clif bar on the back. No zippers but both have a flap of some sort to cover them. You could fit a key in either one, but I don't think I'd be comfortable stowing my normal set of keys in there. A cell phone in the back pocket is debatable.
