Outdoor Research Women's Radiant Hybrid Tights Review

Customer Ratings:

I used these as long johns, under hiking pants, in a recent trip to Russia, and they really kept my legs warm in very unfavorable conditions (in snow, sometimes negative temps, most times hovering close to 0C, with strong wind). The fact that they are called "tights" and that I went creative with them just serves to show that the Outdoor Research product is versatile and very effective!

The tights look pretty good, but for some reason I ordered an M instead of an S, and it was loose for me. I am usually an S size, but I thought that I needed a larger size with other base layers that I would be wearing underneath. I reckon in hindsight, I would have been better off with an S. I am keeping it anyway because it has really grown on me. It is a comfortable pair of tights, loose fitting, though a little long for me (5' 3", 54kg). It has soft fleece insides and a smooth outer side, and a tiny hidden pocket on the inside which is quite handy for keys when I go for walks in the autumn and winter time. The slim sleek design is preferred and I can wear it indoors and outdoors as it doesn't look like a pair of frumpy track pants that people wear to sleep. t have tested it out in about 10-15 degrees celcius and windy (about 24 knots according to weather forecasts) conditions. It works pretty well, and I had a pair of base thermals underneath. I went for a walk in these cold windy conditions and was perfectly warm and comfortable. I would love to buy another pair, in size S next time.
