Athletics Reflective Warming Pocket Tight

Reflective as advertised and pretty comfortable but they do seem to run a bit smaller compared to other NB tights, struggling to get them down to my ankles and actually close.

I ordered a medium because I'm squarely in the size guidelines (33" waste, 38" hips) and these are very, very slim - I have to actually pinch the fabric together to get the zippers to close around my calves. I thought about returning and sizing up, but decided to give them a shot and go for a run. They actually ended being totally fine - they're not so tight they're cutting off circulation, and I didn't feel like they restricted my movement. It was 37 degrees and a little breezy this morning, and running around my 10K pace I felt perfectly comfortable, not cold and not overheating. I'm glad I gave them a shot - I might actually get a second pair to get me through the rest of the winter.

These will be my go-to for fall/winter morning runs--very pleased so far after a handful of runs and washes PROs: Very warm and comfortable (did great in 40 degree F, the coldest so far); highly reflective (the photos are pretty accurate--they are very reflective and there's a mottled look); combo of drop-in and rear/back pockets; sturdy construction; good inseam (I'm 6'2" and have long legs); feels like good value for money...wish I had 2 more pairs CONs: they run just a little tight/small based on the size chart...I probably could've sized up and been OK; the pockets are very snug...I had to take my old iPhone 12 pro max out of its case to comfortably slide in/out (although my case is silicon and a bit grippy so your mileage may vary) Unknowns so far: long-term durability; comfortability below freezing
