Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino Sport Fleece Tights

My first pair of running tights. Worked very nice in mid-30s weather, but feel like they'll work when colder too.

Nice tight with a simple design and the perfect weight for any cooler weather riding

Comfortable warm stylish

I bought these to use on my bike. They fit well and block the wind nicely.

Quality goods for mountain miles. Male 5'3" 130lb 52yo small is compression tight. I like

I purchased the merino sport fleece tights to try tights made with natural fibers and have been nothing but impressed. The material, styling, and fit are all excellent. Highly recommended! #sweepstakes

Xc skiing in cold to moderate temno wind days) #sweepstakes

I needed something warm for rowing in low temperatures and this works exceptionally well. If it gets soaked you'll still be cold but if you are working out the leggings wick sweat away well

Super comfy, husband wears xc skiing and running, and often under other pants during outdoor adventures.

Great for subzero temp runs. #sweepstakes

These kept me very warm for a recent below freezing start to the Uwharrie Mountain Run - a 40 mile trail race that is 100% very rugged single track and over 4300 ft of elevation! The temps barely made it to 40 degrees and these tights were absolutely perfect for an epic race!

Very Warm, comfortable, and true to fit.

I purchased my first pair of these tights in late November and immediately fell in love with them. Iowa winters can be bitterly cold, depressing, and miserable to run in, but with these tights on, running during a snowstorm feels downright cozy. The coldest I have run in them so far has been -5 F. and by the end of the run I actually felt hot. The only reason I haven't run any colder than that is because my fingers, and whatever is exposed of my face would get miserably cold. Despite being so warm and cozy, these tights breathe well and I can wear them on 30-40 degree days without feeling overheated. So far after having worn them approximately 20-25 times (over 100 miles total), I have only had to wash them once, not because they ever started smelling, but because they started to feel a little itchy (presumably from dried sweat). I generally wear merino underwear with them, so that probably helps with odor control, but still, I was shocked at how long they stayed fresh. They aren't showing any excessive signs of wear yet, but due to the merino content, and how often I use them, I'm guessing they're not going to last more than a few years. In any case, for how enjoyable these have made winter running, I wouldn't mind investing in a new pair every year or two. My only worry with these tights is that if they stop making them, I will be extremely sad. For that reason I bought a second pair when they went on sale so that I will have a backup for when the first pair wears out.

They are comfortable leggings and warm, not enough compression for me for training in a gym, but as designed, it definitely a good buy if you're doing outdoor cardio work. I'm currently using these more as a base layer

I run and bike in north PA year round so I needed a legging with substantial weight to keep warm and other name brands were not doing the job due thin synthetic fibers so I tried Smart Wool and it's well worth it. Nice and thick yet flexible, form fitting to cut down on wind resistance but not too tight, a small zip pocket for a key or change is a nice touch, also has reflective strips for visibility. Cut and styled right to wear with or without shorts or pants. Highly recommend this.

Very happy with this, 5'7" about 160 32" waist and the medium fits perfect. Very comfortable, has a small zip pocket for a key or change. Much more substantial then my Nike tights, definitely warmer.

Nice and warm. In between sizes - so sized up and fits well.

These are awesome. Very comfortable. I run 60+ miles a week and thru the winter months these do an excellent job of keeping my legs warm, further, they don't over restrict my movements. You can also use these as a base layer. Best, they last. Very well made product. Only complaint, they seem a little small in the waist vs. the advertised sizing.

Great for runs in winter. Can't feel that I'm sweating really!

Actually a little more comfortable than I thought. Good for winter chilly running.

The material is fabulous. It is warm when you need it and forgiving when you don't need to be too warm. I was right in the middle of my size group but am finding the thighs to be slightly too tight and ankles slightly too loose.

Very high quality material, perfectly warm in cool, drizzly temperatures. The foot opening is really snug, I have to point my toes to slither my ankle and heel out of them. I ordered a medium and have a 33 waist, I would say these fit a little tighter than expected but you want a tight fit for something like this.

The fit is more like a compression tight which I was not expecting. Very warm and will fit the purpose for winter wear!

These are pretty comfortable and warm but they could use a actual fly and a drawstring.

the tights were not fitting & it forced me to get in the gym to even try to fit into them and have them be tights instead of pants
