Great windproof, warm tights that fit well - not too tight, not too loose. Lightweight, breathable fabric allows excess heat to escape while blocking out cold breezes.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Tight - Men's:

Amazing pants. "Tights" are not a good description of the product, as they fit with quite a bit of give (as in, there is no tight appearance around the groinage - allows you to walk into a coffee store without feeling a little awkward). I have several pieces of MH Windstopper products (N2S "next to skin) with the "Transition" name in them and they have become my favorites for running, skiing in windy, cold conditions. Extremely light weight, feel very comfortable next to your skin. Combined with the transition zip top, or hooded jacket I am very comfortable in conditions of high wind with wind chills well below freezing. There is no insulating properties, so they are really best if you are doing a fast-moving activity, generating your own heat.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Tight - Men's:

I have used these for a couple of years now. They keep me warm on cold runs down to single digits without additional under garments. A pocket or two would be nice and I would pay extra for these. Lacking in durability to a degree. I had to sew some scuff panels on the inside of the ankles, my shoes must scrape there occasionally. I used them in the Leadville 100 last year and they worked well.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Tight - Men's:

I love having these tights. They aren't too tight so you have the option to layer under them and they aren't to loose so they get caught in your bike chain. When the temps start dropping these are bike commuters best friends. They breathe great so if you don't like your Robin Hood tight tights when it gets cold you'll love these. Pair them with the Transition jacket and your set for temps ranging from 50 down to 0. And they are very water resistant "test" ride through some large mud puddles can attest to.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Tight - Men's:

These are the best tights that I have ever bought. They are great for the cold & windy midwestern winter. I don't freeze my buns off or get all clammy like other pants I wear for winter running. All you need is a pair of merino wool LJs under these and you are ready to go into the single digits.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Tight - Men's:

My first wearing of the Mountain Hardware Tansition Tights were running on a beautiful day of wintry mix. The temps were lower to mid thirties with sleet and freezing rain. The pants were really great for these conditions, maybe even a little to warm !! The fit was great, exactly what a loose fitting tight should fee like. They blocked the wind and kept me dry as they were supposed to..Can't wait to try them out in colder temps !! The only thing missing, in my opinion, is a small pocket in the back of the waist band..Another great product from Mountain Hardware !!

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Transition Tight - Men's:

Originally purchased for cold-weather running, I've been wearing them for my chilly to cold-morning bike rides up to the pool & they are wonderfully warm.
Fit is snug but not restricting. Waist may run a bit small. I especially enjoy the more relaxed, roomy fit than a traditional tight provides.
