Saw this pair or tights on sale and decided to try it out. Besides its a brand used by some elite mountain racers in Europe, what can go wrong?
Pulling it out of the box the tights looked really really small. But they stretch well, fortunately was able to try my size at the shop so I got an XS. It's one size down from my normal. So I'd be careful if this is your first pair and you're not used to wearing compression, might end up getting a size too large.
So far I've tried it in really hot and humid conditions as well as a short cold run in winter. In terms of keeping cool in hot conditions I'll say yes it works - however prior to the run the heat did cause a slight itch. Which is normal I guess for any tight. After moving, the air seems to ventilate the tights well. No issues so far in cold conditions, kept me pretty toasty.
Yes it works like a performance tight is supposed to, thought I can't confirm the claim of reduced effort or superiority over other brands without proper personal data. But I can say that it is the most comfortable one I've ever worn. The fit - like a stretchy cushy hug over your bum and legs.
Bottom line: If you're curious and have a couple of dollars to spare I'd say it's worth to try them out.
