Comments about Ibex Energy Tight:
These tights are my favorite pants I have ever had. They are warm when it's cold, cool when it's warmer (a bit hot for summer though). If I never had to dress up I would wear these all the time. They do have a certain pizazz however.

Comments about Ibex Energy Tight:
I've run through seven Pacific NW winters and these tights, hands down, are the best piece of winter running gear I've ever had. They're comfortable and warm without being bulky or hot. I've worn a lot of (non-wool) running tights and they've always been a necessary evil: you accept all of their annoying qualities because what else are you gonna do when it's 28º? These, however, have made winter running a pleasure.
They:
-fit well
-feel great
-are warm
-DON'T STINK!
Trust me on the last one. I tested this by running in them four days in a row without a wash, followed by wearing them to a party because they make my butt look awesome. At the end of all that, they still didn't stink! Good luck finding tights made of "technical fiber" that can make that claim!

Comments about Ibex Energy Tight:
I use it walks,skiing, at the gym and under dresses when I need to stay warm. The elastics around the waist is a bit to tight. It is probably a good idea to go down a size if you like the tights to be tight and supportive.

Comments about Ibex Energy Tight:
I love these! I've worn these several times for cold morning runs and my legs stay nice and warm without the bulk. If you are active outdoors during the winter- ski, run, cycle - you must have a pair of these. Already recommended these to my runner/cyclist sister!

Comments about Ibex Energy Tight:
My thighs & butt suffer in the cold when running, and adding too many layers just makes it harder to run. I already have a few pair of the wool shorties, and in combo now with these, I can stay warm and dry during my winter runs. Used them the other day when the wind chill was 7 and I felt fine. All your products wash and wear well. I love IBEX!!!

Comments about Ibex Energy Tight:
I got these at a rowing regatta in NJ in August -- and trying them on in the heat was an experience! But I finally got to wear them at the Head of the Charles in Boston this year, when it was windy and cold and rainy and miserable -- only I wasn't. This was probably the first year when it was cold that I was comfy (had on lots of Ibex on top, too). As for the zippers on the bottom--- well, for my race, the sun peeked out for a moment and I knew I'd be too warm while rowing hard, so I was able to pull them off in the boat with no problem, thanks to the ankle zippers. Size-wise, I'm 5'4.5" tall (with relatively more leg), a pretty standard size 6 on the bottom, and the Small fit me perfectly. All around, these are fantastic for cold-weather warmth and definitely worth the price. I love them!

Great stuff. They go under my jeans for a cold day out on my bike or by themselves for a run. Incredibly comfortable, thin and warm. Only wish they came in petite.

I use it for hiking and snow sports, but also as a base under cashmere tunics - I teach in it - I love it. I want them in other colors!

I wear these with a cashmere tunic and boots everwhere - I would like them in brown and dark grey, too.
