What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I use these tights for everything from brisk trail mornings to layering under softshells when the temps drop. The gridded fleece keeps moisture moving, and the waistband stays put without digging in. They stretch easily with big steps or scrambles, and the articulated knees make a noticeable difference on steep climbs."We pull on the Conduit Tights when cold air moves in and we still want to keep our pace steady in the mountains. The Thermic(TM) G recycled fleece fabric delivers a warm, soft next-to-skin feel, while the gridded interior pulls moisture away as our effort increases. With a high, supportive waistband and dependable stretch, the tights stay comfortable and secure as we climb ridgelines, move through forests, or layer up for early-season missions. As the day unfolds, the thoughtful construction becomes more essential. Articulated knees help us move freely on steep or uneven terrain, and flatlocked seams prevent chafing under packs or shell layers. A double-layer cuff adds structure at the ankle, pairing cleanly with boots or midlayers. Whether worn alone for cold runs or as a baselayer on deep-winter days, the Conduit Tights keep us warm without slowing our stride.
