An avid runner, I have tried out many pair of tights. I have different pairs for winter, spring, summer and fall. One thing that I can’t stand about my tights is how boring they are- always in black! You can thus imagine my excitement when I saw these beauties show up in store. Still in black, but with the stitching emphasized in bold bright colours. Love at first sight!
love the colourful stitching!
The ¾ length tights come to just under my knee. The compression tights are not too tight on my calf, which is a problem I have noticed in other brands. In the past I have had fraying in the crotch area of the pants, however with these tights I have not noticed that problem. There is a sizing chart that accompanies the pants so you get the right size, so perhaps I just had a bit too much junk in my trunk for the last pair…
One downside with these pants is there is only a small pocket (no zipper) attached to the inner waist of the pants. While I can usually stash my car key in my bra, I ideally would love a pocket a bit bigger that I could feel safe putting my key in. The only other thing I have noticed with these pants is sometimes my dimensions are not the same/ typical dimensions (which i’m sure it’s hard to get perfect considering the variation in people’s sizes) however I find I have to pull my tights up so that the compression areas are in the right place, which means the waistline is over my belly button. Mom-style high pants. Not the most sexy, but we’re running for fitness, not for the runway, right?
