Comments about Ibex Energy Sport Tight:
Aside from the Izzi pant this is the best pant Ibex makes for athletic women who aren't super-skinny. I wish I bought this tight before I bought the Loose Tight II. While I like them, these tights are more flattering and a little lighter in weight making them an overall more useful pant for my lifestyle.

Comments about Ibex Energy Sport Tight:
These pants are very hard to take off and I sometimes wear them to bed. I appreciate the length: I am 5'8" and although often average size pants are too short for me, these seem just right. The fabric is so breathable they can be worn year-round. Perfect for travel --> I'm sitting in an air-conditioned airport in July, wearing them right now, and couldn't be happier or more comfortable!

Comments about Ibex Energy Sport Tight:
I received these pants right before a weekend of camping. I put them on out of the box and wore them for two days and also slept in them. They are the perfect length for me, 5'8", and kept me warm and comfortable. The only reason I changed out of them, was my Lab/Airedale mix was with me and they did pick up some fur but when I came home they washed beautifully.

Comments about Ibex Energy Sport Tight:
These tights are much more than tights. The fabric is heavy and drapes well enough to dress up with a tunic or the Kurta from Ibex. But they are equally suited to yoga or even winter running for those who don't mind looser ankles. I xc skied in these, did yoga in them, then lounged for hours knitting in them, and the next night dressed them up with a tunic and my hair up. they do stretch out with lots of wear - but washing and brief time in the drier brought them back to original size.

Comments about Ibex Energy Sport Tight:
Just bought my second pair of these tights. I wear them as a midlayer for very cold snowshoeing and hiking. When it's really cold I wear them around the house (I'm turning down the thermostat & saving on my heating bill!)

Comments about Ibex Energy Sport Tight:
I purchased these hoping to find an attractive alternative to sweat pants. I wanted something fitted but not hot pink cotton/spandex with glitter across the butt. I realize there are a lot of "yoga pants" out there but I'm trying to avoid 100% synthetic clothing. It just doesn't manage repeated wear or sweat nearly as well as wool and it is never as comfortable on the skin. I wanted a pair of pants that could double as comfy cloths to look forward to retiring into and something that would hold up to lots of activity and travel.
I think these fit very true to size. I'm 5'9" and mostly all legs. The inseam ends right above my feet. The pants are fitted not skin tight. They are flattering and extremely comfortable.
They are ideal for yoga and hanging out and indoor gym climbing. I would be a little worried about ripping them for outdoor climbing. For someone who doesn't rip up their clothing as easily as I do I'm sure they would be wonderful in moderate climbing weather. They are not wind proof so I think they are a great option for cycling as long as it is not too cold or wet out & you roll up the loose bottom of the pant legs. These are especially nice for urban commute cycling where you want to be able to walk into work or stores without looking like you have a super hero costume on.
The exterior surface resembles terrycloth texture. This is the only thing I'm not thrilled about. This is the only detail that gives me away as possibly showing up in public with my PJ's on. The online picture also doesn't really show this so I was a little surprised.
Overall, these are what I was dreaming of!
