Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I wore these today on a long run - 38 degrees with a stiff breeze. They were comfortable and warm. No rubbing from seams, etc. I love the zippered ankles--after a long run I do not enjoy struggling to get out of my sweaty gear. There is a little mesh pocket in the back--which is perfectly-sized for a gel packet--but it flaps uncomfortably. I stuck the gel in my jacket pocket--and stored the empty packet in the tights' pocket. I have heavy-duty tights that I run in when the temps drop below 25--but these are perfect for 35 and above. The petite pants do run a bit short. I have a 28.5 inch inseam--and these came up a bit short--but I don't mind. I prefer it like that--and it's nice to not have a whole bunch of material bunched up on my leg--love the petite lengths-thanks REI.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I'm 5'3" and in decent shape with a curvy butt. The petite medium fits great and I love that REI offers petite. Sometimes it's hard to find the shorter lengths. These are great to run in cooler weather. I can run in these down to about 25 degrees. Love them!

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I got this for outdoor winter workouts, but it's been unseasonably "warm" so I've only been able to use this in 35+ degree weather, which it's been great for - no riding up/down or discomfort whatsoever even after several hours of wear, and minimal VPL and no muffin top, so I usually just wear them alone. I've also worn them under jeans for everyday use. My only complaint is that the ankle opening isn't completely tight, and the tights are a tad too short. The skin between my socks and the end of the tights gets cold when I run, but that can be remedied with longer socks. My butt's not tiny and I didn't have the low-cut problem described by other reviewers. For reference, I'm 5'3", 130lbs, and I wear a small.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I have been running for about year and I love it! I know I'm serious about it, so I have slowly been adding items to my running wardrobe. These tights are the latest (and perhaps the best) addition.

The minute I put them on I knew they would be great to run in. They are so comfortable and soft. It's almost as if I'm not wearing anything.

The kept me warm enough, but never too hot!(I live in Savannah, GA where it never gets too cold. It was probably 49-55 degrees when I ran in these so I'm not sure how they would do in "true" cold weather).

I just know these will be my "go to" bottoms :o)

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I purchased these because I needed a pair of dry fit tights for the Tough Mudder event in Phoenix, AZ. The weather was about 65 degrees but I was in and out of icy cold water and even had to swim a little! These pants were incredible, my legs never felt cold and I was able to get out of the water and run without any problems because they did not absorb the water at all!! I have to mention that there is not even a snag on them!!

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I love these pants and they fit great except for the zipper. REI cut the zipper leaving a hard, rought edge. The zipper don't have a standard end. Why did REI go cheap on the zipper??? Otherwise the fit is great. I am 5' and 105 lbs. I recomend these if they fix the zipper.

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I am 5'3" and decided to go with the petite version of these running tights. They are a little too short, but I don't mind having 1" of my ankles exposed as much as I mind having 1" of my rear exposed! I usually wear low-cut pants but these are too low for me. I am constantly having to pull the back waist up. The pocket sits in the middle of my behind rather than near my waist, so it's not comfortable to carry keys or music player. Bummer! I'd try the regular size but reviews indicate the ankles run big (a problem in the petite fit that is mitigated by the pants being about 2" too short so they don't hit at smallest part of ankle."

Comments about REI OXT Airflyte Running Tights - Women's Petite:

I usually have a really hard time finding pants that fit, especially for outdoor pursuits. These are the first of any kind that fit perfectly without any kind of alteration. I wear these in a S (I'm 5'0, 110 pounds) and they work great. The only drawbacks after a lot of use are that the seams are "fuzzing" a little, and the crotch fits really weirdly - it naturally hangs low and has an unfortunate and unnatural baggy 'camel'.
I've also tried sleeping in these as a warmer base layer on cold camping nights and they prove a bit too claustrophobic. However, for an overall running (and sometimes climbing) layer, they are perfect!
