Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Comfortable and warm, but not too warm!
I started running in Spring 2023, so I didn’t need running tights to keep me warm until recently. Having tried different kinds of long underwear, compression pants, and other long base layers for hiking, I was hesitant to wear tights while running out of fear of discomfort, overhearting (since I typically run warm), and chafing. These tights are beyond satisfactory and have squashed those fears. These tights are perfectly comfortable, aren’t too restrictive, and, most importantly, aren’t too warm. The pockets on the sides are a great feature, too; I can carry my phone in one, and my airpods, chapstick, or an energy gel in the other. If you run hot, even in the cold weather, but need something more than shorts, I’d highly recommend these tights, especially when they’re on sale.
Pretty good cool weather running tight
Bought these to stay warm and shed water from foliage on winter jogs/fast hikes in woods. They are snug and don't droop during a 1 hour jog. Pckets good for a phone, keys, card, thin wool beanie. I carry an ultralight waist pack to stash sunglasses / visor, and windbreaker that I shed once I warm up. But, they don't breath well. Crotch area gets very sweaty doing about 4 miles in an hour in 30-40F weather. I never have this problem doing the same workout in mid weight REI poly baselayer with a pair of shorts over top.
So far, so good
I'm not a tights wearing type of runner but I thought I'd try these. I've only run in them 2x but the tights kept my legs warm and protected my legs from the winds. Key thing: I didn't sweat to death but I wish the tights had a very thin soft liner in the crotch area for sweat absorption and wicking purposes. Anyway, the tights felt good. The left pocket held my keys fast and they didn't move. I slipped my phone in right leg pocket and the phone didn't move. I was impressed.
Tight Tights!
I get it. They are called "running tights", but buyer be aware, they they are tight, like a second skin. Plus, I could barley get my foot into the ankle part of the leg. (I have an 11.5 size foot- so nothing unusual. I've been running for over 30 years, so I'm not new to running tights. I'm 6'1". 190 lbs. Got a large.
Great Indoor Cycling Pants
I've been wearing these as indoor cycling pants this winter and will likely wear them on the bike outdoors in the spring and fall when I need a big more coverage. Love that they made a tall version of these as most bike pants look like capris on me and expose my ankles to the cold unless I wear longer socks. The draw string, while not great, is not an issue with these. I didn't have any problem with these sliding down on me in the saddle.
Good Leggings for Runners
These leggings are a perfect additional layer to wear during colder runs. I usually wear these under my shorts and they do a great job keeping me warm during my early-morning winter runs.
Great tight, but run small/slim
I have run in these for 1 winter, maybe 20 times now. For context, I don't wear them until it is in the low 30s if I am running over 4-5 miles. I can wear them in the upper 30s, but only for warm up runs before another workout. All that considered, they are great. The pockets are my favorite part. They have washed well and the pockets haven't stretched out. Phone is solid, as are headphones, doggie bags, anything else I need to stuff in there. Wish it had a back zipper pocket. Front key pocket is worthless to me. On sizing though, I strongly recommend trying them on first. I am 5'8" and 170 with a 31" waist. I am surprised to wear a large. I don't remember if there was a short size that I picked up, but the medium was definitely way too tight.
Great Running Tights
Great running tights, spent a lot of time looking for good running tights. I usually have a problem with running tights since my calves are thick but have, but these fit me really well.
Great fit, reasonable price
This is a nice long-legged runing pants. I usually wear size M, and I found the sizing well fitting. The material is as it is expected for running activities.
Pretty good fit overall.
I was little leery about purchasing these for two reasons. One, I had recently purchased a pair of the Swiftland half tights and have already had issues with seam stitching coming undone. I was able to cut those loose threads and I guess time will tell if the seam continues to unravel . Secondly, the photos on the website of the model wearing these tights make the leg openings appear to be quite loose. I will admit they ended up being a little looser than say a pair of Janji trail tights, but if you pull up on the leg, just a little bit towards the larger part of your calf, things snug up nicely without being too tight and without looking odd. Having said that, if you have skinny ankles, these probably aren’t the best tights for you. I will mainly wear these for hot yoga and they do a very good job of not telegraphing the groin area while managing sweat.
