I need a GREAT cold weather tight...

dress me PLEASE!!!!!

Hey everyone,

The one piece of equipment I'm missing for my North Pole outfit is the absolute best pair of cold weather running tights on the market. They would be used as a base layer for my legs (obviously)..

Any recommendations? Please post a link to a place to get them if you can!
I will buy one of the ones you all suggest and send the person who suggested them a pair of Injinji socks (www.injinji.com) as a "finder's fee" - yes, you guessed it.. Another way to win FREE STUFF!!!!

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,

I wear the CW-X Insulator Expert Tights for a base layer when running in cold weather. If the weather is above a wind chill of 10F, then I wear them on their own, but if it's below that, I'll put on another pair of tights over them. I like the targeted webbing on the expert series because of my knee (it's sprained), but there's a pro series, as well.

Here's the link to the insulator line: http://cw-x.com/ss/products/mens/m_insulated.

Good luck!!

Hi Bobby,

Just another vote for the CW-X Insulator Tights. I have them and this winter in NYC, I stayed warm with just a pair of thin tights (stockings) underneath. I made it through a run a few weeks ago when (little did I know) it was around -10 degrees below zero with the windchill... Needless to say, I had icicles on my eyelashes (you have goggles for the NP, right?!) but my legs didn't freeze. I think the Pro series would be best given the projected temps, if you choose to go with these ones.

The webbing is great too. A nice, comfortable fit overall.

11 days and counting (down)! Best of luck. We'll be cheering for you.

I haven't tried the CW-X (although have heard many things about them...including their hefty price) but I really like the Pearl Izumi AM FIB tight(http://www.pearlizumi.com/product.php?mode=view&pc_id=95&product_id=5245...)- water resistant and wind proof. When it is really cold I will use the Pearls as a base layer and put Road Runner Sport's Women's RRS Gore-Tex Storm Pant:(http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/RRL962/)

Good luck!
