These tights allow me to XC ski with two fewer layers. They combine warmth and windproofness with compression. One drawback is they are not as long as my last pair of size MT X2U compression tights.

Yes, they are good!

When you start off in a below zero day in these, you feel the cold more than other lined tights in this category, however after a mile or two warm-up the garment starts to work with body heat/moisture to insulate. The compression is perfect, which is a hallmark of 2XU. The knee area could be more integrated with the rest of the leg and not separated as it feels thinner. This is a mens and has accommodation in the crouch area, which creates a funny shaped bag area, which is one reason I knocked a star off, people tend to look there as you run past them. :) Otherwise a keeper for 30 - 40 degree mornings.

Great tights just a bit difficult to get over my size 12 feet. Wish there was an option for short zipper on the lower leg.

I successfully smashed my first Ultra Marathon wearing them. I bought them specifically for the event and they didn’t disappoint. Awesome product, I’d highly recommend them!
