Mountain Hardwear

Mountain Stretch Tight - Women's

Love them!

Size Bought:

Large

Height:

5' 6"

I purchased these based on the reviews and boy was everyone right! These are so comfortable, thin but warm. I own several Lulu and Athleta tights and these are by far my favorite of any tights I own.

If you're tall they'll be 7/8 but they are great!

They fit great, but they're shorter than expected. I'm 5'10", 185 and large works.

Great!

Second pair of these. Stiffer more durable material than similar tights. Nice for running and hiking trails and general outdoor adventuring. They're not like suction to your legs tights. I like that.

feels like wearing nothing !!!

fits like a pyjama on my skin !!! really love these leggings fits like a glove, a bit loose - would not size down - fits perfect !!!

Great for a base layer

I wore these in Canada last month in mid teens to low 20s. No issues and was warm enough with these and insulated pants. Others in our group had 3 layers and were still cold. Impressed enough I bought another pair when I got back.

Love these - addtl note on sizing

On fit, if you have a slender build, maybe size down. As mentioned, I have M & S in different colors. Fabric is opaque, but not heavy. M fits me generously and comfortably. S is my correct size, no extra fabric. I'm long-waisted and rise is pefect. Length: All non-capri inseams are too long for me, but these have less extra length than many - something to be aware of if you're tall / have long legs. I'm 5ft zero, 140lbs, aging stocky athletic build with sprinter thighs, butt, calves, getting thick around the waist. Used to be a 4-6 at 120lbs, now a 6-8. For comparison, other legwear I love right now: Patagonia Wind Shield pants size S, Rab Horizon tights size S. These Mtn Hardwear tights are great as a base layer under both.

Love these

Love these as a liner tight for winter. Have 2 pair, M blue & S black. No regrets. Expecting I'll wear in spring/summer as single layer with hiking skirts. Also see these as good for travel because of weight, comfort & drying time. The black at least could be worn without a skirt, if you do that sort of thing :) Really like the fabric. It is not spandex. Does not seem to hold moisture, in a good way. They are not pants - would not expose them to much abrasion. Activity: so far mostly running & walking in windy rain, snow & sleet as the liner layer under another more weather-facing tight like the Winter Journey etc

Needs help

I returned them. The seams itch, rise is pretty short and the length (sizing guide needs lots of work) is very short, like less than 25” and on someone tall is very uncomfortable and tight on the calves.

Tights but different tights

I initially bought these because I didn't have tights in the blue color. When they arrived I was surprised that they had a very light crepe-y feeling and weren't super stretchy as some legging are. And they looked loose too. But when I put them on, they fit so well, and they didn't need to stretch much ... best of all, this non-spandex material did not give me a UNI-BUTT! Yes, I like to have two separate cheeks when I'm wearing form fitting leggings. I really wish there were more colors. Please make more colors! I ordered a M and am 5'6" 135.
