Skins A200 Men's Thermal Compression Long Tights

These are legitimately thermal. I actually bought these hoping they would be like the normal compression A200 range that has been discontinues, but they are not. They are legitimately thermal, so if you can in the market for a pair of tights for say, cold weather sports, or just undergarment for winter in general, these are perfect.

I'm starting off by giving this five stars as I have nothing negative to say. These cold weather, insulated tights are extremely comfortable. They fit perfect, with a far better fit than their SKINS heat gear (uninsulated) version, which have a waist band far tighter than needed. The quality is outstanding and is what I've come to expect from Skins products. They certainly don't disappoint, and are only beat out by the even more expensive 2XU brand. These SKINS cold weather tights are far superior to those of the Sub Sports brand, which have a waist that's so high that it meets my mid chest area. Although these are considerably more expensive, I'd still rather order another pair than purchase another pair of the far cheaper Sub Sports. I like them that much. However, please don't believe the ridiculous claims that you can go snow skiing with just an insulated pair of tights for your legs. That is, unless you were born in an igloo. They're good for weather down into the forties, but anything colder and you'll need to layer over the top of these, as these fit like a second skin. But they are compression tights afterall, so anything looser and they're simply way to big. They're meant to fit tight as possible while still being comfortable. If you've not worn tight before, its never too late to start. Tights were designed by men for men afterall, not women. They highjacked them from us, then created a stigma that drove men away from them. Well, its time we take them back, as they're about the most comfortable garmet one can put on their legs and not get arrested. And that's WITHOUT taking into account the benefits associated with them. While the scientific jury might still be out, I can clearly state that they work extremely well for me. In fact, they work so well that I wear them on a daily basis, with shorts in the summer or as an undergarment in the winter. But with these, I'll skip the over pants, as these are thick enough to eliminate modesty issues as long as the temperatures are at least between 45-70. Warmer and I'll switch to heat gear tights, colder and these become an underlayment garment. I expect that these will last for years if cared for properly. I initially started wearing tights as a medication free means to deal with my perpensity to get deep vein bloodclots as a side effect of another medication. They've done well enough that I don't require a blood thinner (best to ask your doctor FIRST). But I was sold when they also eliminated the typical sore muscles I'd get after a hard workout at the gym. They may be rather expensive, but when the benefits are factored in, they start getting cheaper and cheaper. But once you try on a pair and realize just how unrestricted your legs are, coupled with a comfort that no other garment can match, they become not only dirt cheap, but you'll be budgeting every month to expand your wardrobe with additional pairs until you have enough to get through between washes.

Excellent! Very soft, very warm, and very comfortable. As with Skins half-tights and the regular compression tights, they sit somewhat lower on the waist than other brands like Under Armour, which come up too high for my liking. I wouldn't personally pay MSRP for them, but at the more sane prices of $50-$85 that can be found regularly, I recommend them!

very good compression,have bad knees,use them when i skate 3x weekly help tremendously,also bought a more economical brand about the fourth of the cost of Skins brand ,no comparison their is Truth to the adage You get what you Pay for....If you want True Compression Pants They Cost

I've had the opportunity to run in these tights 3 times this week with temperatures in the single digits and wind chills around zero. Not only were they extremely comfortable but are also the warmest tights I own. I'll be buying a 2nd pair for this miserable winter weather! I am 6' 1", 190lbs and the large fit perfectly - a little rough pulling them up as most compression tights are but a great fit after a short struggle.

This is a really great pair of compression pants, perfect for an autumn run. They tend to give less, compared to the usual Skins, which makes sense since this is supposed to keep heat in. If you are stuck in between two sizes (like myself), I would choose the larger size. Since I am on "the borderline" in the sizing chart, I decided to go for the smaller size and I find it sometimes difficult to get into them. Having said that, the fit does not diminish the enjoyment of the run. In fact, I find myself wanting to run even in the cold weather,End point: Highly recommended.

I am 6'2" and 200lb. I chose L following the size chart and it's good.It might slide down a little in long distance running but not too much bother your running.It has no waist band and thermo is a little itchy.But compression and durability is good.And I think it keeps warmth better than cw-x insulator tights.

My first pair of these tights developed holes on both sides along the logos after the second run. I returned these, and I am now 2 months into their use, and there is now a large hole in the same locations.These pants are warm and they look great, and if you are looking for something to get you through a season and dont mind a few holes towards the end of the season, these are for you. I am looking for more durable winter running tights.
