Review on Ice Fil Tech Tight with Full Seat by Jonathan Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good tights! for women

They were great in our humid/hot summer. This was my first time trying on riding socks - I'll admit I was a bit nervous. However, the humidity was terrible, so I decided to pull the trigger. My regular breeches are Irideon's Cadence, the compression breeches I love so much (I swear they make me look 10 pounds thinner). Also, I have long legs, so these fit me best. Either way. First impressions. The tights are what they are, the tights are very thin. No compression which scared me to death. However, I found the belt very comfortable. Also, they didn't give the impression that they would be very persistent. I had this image in my head that I was going to slide in the saddle. In action. When I got to the stable I noticed that I wasn't as hot as my irises. Still, it was fun to ride as they didn't get stuck like my Iridons did. After a few trips I got used to it. In fact, I began to appreciate the lack of traction they offered as I felt freer in the saddle and they made me hold myself in the saddle, which I think helped my riding. Fit. As mentioned, I'm a taller rider. the length is perfect for me. They fit better than expected though - not too bad but I would order a size smaller next time. The downside is they don't make me look like I've lost 10 pounds like my Irideons do. I gave them 4 stars because I've only worn them for a few months. They have held up/washed well, but I can't say anything about durability yet. However, these will be my "summer" breeches!
