These tights are very warm and comfortable. I have them in a M, and I am normally a S. They are kind of baggy due to the bigger size, but they are still very comfortable and not way too loose. Even though they are big, they do not chafe. I think I actually like how these fit when they are a little bigger. They keep my legs very warm. And the reflective strips are handy when running at night, or in the early evening due to dark coming so early. I feel that $100 is a bit expensive for tights, but they definitely do a good job at keeping you warm on those very chilly days (I’ve been wearing these on all the colder days – 10-25 degrees F – and haven’t had a problem). I’ve even worn them on slightly warm days – up to 45 – and I wasn’t too warm in them either. I would definitely recommend these if you are looking for a nice durable tight that will keep you warm in a variety of temperatures.
