Customer Reviews Brooks Greenlight Tights

These fit true to size, but they are not a high waisted legging as they appear on the model. They did not come over my belly button, which is fine and they are comfortable...just making a note if you want them to be very high waisted. I have a long torso but I would call these a medium-rise rather than a high rise just FYI! love the style down the leg and the pockets.

This is my first pair of Brooks tights, and I like them! I love that they have so many pockets, and they fit snugly and don't stretch out too much when I wear them. The fabric feels too thick for me to use in the summer, as I sweat a lot and tend to get overheated pretty easily, but are great for colder weather. There's one seam on the outer thigh where the pocket is/ mesh insert is that can be kind of itchy for me, but it isn't too distracting and doesn't stop me from wearing them! For size reference, I'm 5'9", 135 lbs, 26" waist and 36" hips, size Small fits perfectly!

Well made and super comfy. I am 5'3 and 110 pounds. Even though I am an average height, these leggings end two inches above my ankle. I guess XS means extra short. I really favor full length leggings and never buy cropped ones, so these disappoint in that regard. Everything else about them is brilliant.

I LOVE these running pants. I would order more if they were cheaper! I am 5'2" and 172 pounds and I wear the size large. I originally ordered an xl but they slid down when running so I exchanged them. The large is perfect fit. Quite snug but that's how I prefer my running pants. They don't slide down. My only complaint is the "sweat proof" back pocket is not sweat proof. I put my phone there a lot and it always has condensation/sweat on it after a short run.

I ordered these tights along with the Greenlight shorts. Not sure why but these fit a little different than the shorts, which I love. I ended up returning the tights and keeping the shorts.

I wanted to treat myself to new running tights for my birthday and was happy to see the colors and pockets on the Greenlight tights. Unfortunately, these tights do not stay up while I'm running or even during a brisk walk. I had to pull them up too many times! Disappointing! For reference, I'm 5'7, weigh 163 lbs and I bought a large. I'm fairly active, averaging 15-20 miles/week plus strength/weight training 3-4/week. When I opened the packages, the pants were so short that I thought I got capris by mistake! They are ankle-length on me but I couldn't tell initially. Brooks should offer leggings with a longer inseam for us girls who don't like ankle-length tights. I may return them because I can only see myself wearing them while riding my bike. I can't use them for HIIT or cardio... not even squats!!! (sigh)

Wish they stayed up while exercising but even a brisk walk makes them droop. Also, wish they came in tall.

The fit was fine. The fabric fell far below my (now lululemon standard expectations). It felt thick and not very nice on my legs. Even though the fabric was breathable, it felt la little plastic-y. The cut was not flattering with all that thick fabric around the waist. I kept them because I didn't want to wait another day for workout gear to arrive but every time I put it on I am reminded that I need to buy some nice running tights.

They are comfortable and cute, but I did not find them as great as other reviewers. I continually had to pull the waist band up. I had to stop twice to pull the legs up because they would slide down and pool around my ankles. I tried them for a weightlifting class, and same thing...waist band slid right down. I won't be wearing them to workout again.

I really didn't like the material, it was scratchy and caught easily so I can't imagine running outdoors in these. the waist was also way too big.

On the plus side, these tights are comfortable, stay in place during my runs, and have great storage for phones/keys/gels. Unfortunately, the tights are not very durable. I have owned two pairs of them for a month and a half, and the waistband seams are already coming undone. For the last six months I've been wearing--and loving--the Greenlight 7" Short Tights in the same size and I have had zero problems with their durability, so I think the issue is the fabric and/or construction of these longer tights, not my use of them.

They look great but roll down. The first mile of my run on these was spent pulling them up, I thought they were going to literally fall off... I don't understand why as I have the shorter version of these and they stay put, same size... it makes no sense to me. I'm going to return them and will try a small to see if that is the issue... For reference, I'm 5'7" and 146lbs. and ordered a medium.

The fit is great. However, it does not have the same material on the inside of the waistline as it was in the old Greenlight. The new material is somewhat shiny and it does not stay during activity. It slides down as I run and it it so annoying to keep pulling it up. I wish you'd make it with the same material as before because this is 1 of my favorite tights..

I was so excited for these pants, as the color is gorgeous. I ended up buying up a side larger than I normally wear because I was concerned with how sheer the fabric is. On my first (and last) run with these pants, I spent the whole first mile pulling them up because they kept sliding down (I think drawstrings would be a nice add-in). As I started to sweat, they eventually stuck to my body, so I didn't have to keep fussing with them. After I finished my run and stretches, I was disappointed to see that a small hole had torn open on the inner thigh of the right leg. I am sad that these pants didn't even hold up beyond the first run. I don't think the quality is very good.

I own multiple pairs of this tight but the new ones I just received are thinner material....as it stretches you can see your skin through it now....concerned with the quality and whether it will last. I have owned my prior pairs forever and the material is not see through and provides just enough warmth to wear on colder days without overheating. Disappointing......
