The North Face XTC Lightweight Tights - Base Layer (For Women)

for skiing in 20 deg. changable mountain weather its performance  can't be beaten. good wicking, allows good movement, nonbinding. the worst thing about this product is that it's hard to find.

Great tights! I got a pair of these for myself and then gave this pair as a gift. Feedback was very positive. Highly recommended. Best base layer I've found!

These were great for wearing under our snowpants while we were skiing. Not too thick or hot.

Bought these for my husband since there weren't too many men's products available. Of the 3 pairs we ordered, these fit the best. He wore them around the house, also as a base layer for skiing and said they were fine. The only disadvantage is that they are white instead of a darker color.

I have tried these on and wore them on one cold fall day around the house and are certain that these will meet the need as the weather gets colder. Very Nice!!!

If you're long-legged with a smallish waist and big thighs, these should fit you well. They are baggy behind the knee, as one commenter mentioned, but for me this is a non-issue.(Only noticed this from a post-activity photo of me while wearing them). I've worn these snowshoeing as a single layer under shell pants and they were fine (breaks were in the sunshine/lo wind, so I can't say how they'd do in extreme cold w/o another layer). On a multi-day trip they didn't get stinky. Anything that gets sweaty, I like to wash in at least warm, so suggested cold wash is a con. I should probably get a backup pair for when these wear out.

highly recommended for warmth and comfort

The material is great on these, but is very lightweight. They are well-constructed. Definitely for high aerobic activities where you'll be generating some of your own heat. These have a very awkward fit - very tight around the calf, but very saggy in crotch, behind, and legs, and sit very high, even for a base layer. I have an average to long torso, and these still sat too high for me. Perhaps if I had Tour De France thighs, these would have fit better, but as such, they were only "tights" around the calves, so I'm returning them.

I ordered M, but should have ordered S. I'm size 6.

I wear them as much as i can to the office, to walk outdoors, to stay warm at home. I bought a lot of different kinds of long undies. These are the ones that my teenage daughters snatch. Its not just because Northface is popular with teens. They are efficient--lightweight, breathable and easy to slip under a pair of jeans.
