Soft, no chafing or riding up with fast movement and sweating, extremely comfortable. See Photos
I received a free pair of these tights directly from Zensah for testing and review. After trying the Zensah compression socks a month ago and really being surprised by how good they actually are, I agreed to try these tights as well. I was slightly horrified by the price at first glance to tell the truth -  I was expecting something similar to stretchy yoga pants with a little spandex thrown it. These are an entirely different creature.<br /><br />First off - I received the Aqua in large. I'm a size 8, but thought large was a safe bet since I intend to use these outside in high humidity (90% humidity on average) and high temperatures (90s) - sweaty and hot in tights means hard to get off later. Well....it used to until Zensah came along. These are a mix of elastane, polyamide, and polypropylene with no cotton or spandex. These are actually very soft to the touch and smooth.  For me, at least, this means they slipped off easily after I was all hot and sweaty and never stuck to my legs. Excellent.<br /><br />The fit is definitely form hugging and while the large isn't too small or too big, it leaves nothing to the imagination. These aren't immodest, just be prepared to show every curve. The waist band is wide and I haven't experienced any rolling down - the little pocket is in the back and it's tiny, you can fit a key card in it, but an actual key will rub you.<br /><br />Here's the reason why I am loving these tights. The seamless description is accurate and the cooling fabric on the thighs does just that - cools. I have spent serious amounts of cash over the years buying schooling tights for summer riding - regular riding pants can be too hot when you're doing two or three horses a day. The cheap ones or padded ones tend have seams in the lower calf area or they just stick to you. Today I wore these with my riding boots and worked horses on the ground (broken rib means no riding this week). These Zensah tights didn't rub inside my boots and they didn't stick to my calves, nor did the ankles try to ride up as I moved at different speeds and angles or changed directions suddenly. My backside was cool and the compression factor meant that my shins weren't quite as tired afterwards. (Photos coming after wearing in the heat) I'm going to grab these first when the doctor gives me the all clear to get back in the saddle.
