Beautiful color and quality fabric. However these tights run a little narrow at the waist band, which causes a bit of a pudge. They do stay up though and they hit just below the belly button which is great. They aren't quite thermal - I have thicker thermals, but they are great for most of the cool weather (high 40s, low 50s) riding that I do these days. On a windy day, I would choose my thermals over these. Either way, I only had a pair of thermals for tights so it is nice to have multiple options for when I get to ride two days in a row. Note! These do not have chamois, so liner shorts are needed. I wear a size 6 in pants and purchased a size medium.
I LOVE these tights. They include slim pockets just big enough for a credit card and stretchy enough if you want to stick your phone in there (it's just a little bulky at that point). They do run a little slim and I'm a little curvy, so I ordered a size up and it was just right. The material is just right - lightweight without feeling flimsy.
waistband rolls down a little while biking, but better than most tights on my soft tummy!
I wear a 4-6 in everything, which according to the size chart would be a small. I ordered a medium and could still barely get these on. 5'9 and 126. If you order these I would go up at least 2 sizes. I could barely even get my foot through the pant leg to get them on.
Love the feel of these. Almost perfect for me, the specific cyclist... I'd love just a higher waistline and longer pant leg. Other than that, I would get these, just for the fabric
