As cooler winds start biting, throw on something that bites back; the WINDSTOPPER Hybrid Tight from The North Face. Your running routine shouldn't suffer in inclement weather so take to the trail in the warmth and weather protection of WINDSTOPPER and Carbon from Bamboo technologies.
The North Face WindStopper Hybrid tights are ideal for both cool- and cold-weather aerobic activities.
A windproof pant in the front and breathable in the back, this pant is designed for endurance athletes who require fast and light movement on long hauls. The Windstopper® Hybrid Pant is comprised of Gore Windstopper® membrane with DWR and a breathable knit for temperature regulation. A pinnacle piece for core athletes, this pant incorporates Carbon from Bamboo technology; keeping athletes dry, protected from UV rays, and odor-free.
Winter endurance runs call for wind-blocking, wicking tights. What if these tights could also block sweaty odors so you wouldn’t have to run the washing machine so often? Take a look at The North Face Women’s WindStopper Hybrid Tights. Gore WindStopper fabric takes care of harsh gusts during your winter runs while biconstituent fiber in the Hybrids decomposes odor-causing molecules. This fiber also increases the wicking and fast-drying capabilities of these tights (as compared to regular polyester fabric). Calf-length zippers ease the dressing process.

Fit, Function, Not low-cut!!!! | |
| Rating: |  |
| I acquired these to replace other (tattered, holey) tights I'd used for Sierra backpack & mountaineering trips. I like tights because they provide great freedom of movement and tend to accommodate my thunder-thighs better than most pseudo-womens-cut hiking pants (segue: why do most outdoor manufacturers model their women's clothing according to small men's styles???). These tights were perfect right out of the plastic bag: they fit without binding, the rise is "classic" - i.e. it's not a low-cut hipster/modern rise and is perfect for the 50-somethings among us - the windproofing feels adequate (haven't tried it yet) and the ankle zippers are long enough to be able to roll up the pant legs above the knee. I have not hiked with them yet, but plan to take them on a Nepal trek later this month. The front pockets are not at all bulky, and a nice addition. The reflective tape parallel to the ankle zippers is also a nice touch for evening speedwalks or runs. My first impression of this garment is that it's generally more perfect than most. Really. I'm cursed with a classic pear shape, could stand to lose a few pounds, but am in generally decent physical shape...many so-called hiking pants, IF they fit in the thigh, are far too large in the waist. These tights are the best of both worlds: they have a nice ribbed texture that makes them great for outerwear, but there is no excess fabric. The fabric itself appears to conceal offensive lumps or bulges (i.e. provides good muscle support) and looks like it will hold up to some abuse. They would be too warm for running in 65-degree weather - but would likely be perfect for hiking in sub-60-degrees, as well as climbing or running. If I were to make one suggestion to TNF: put a flexible cord-lock on the waist drawstring. That would help alleviate deciding which knot to use :-) to keep the drawstring taut - I hope to write a subsequent review after the Nepal trek. So far, I'm thrilled with this garment. | |

The only women's Windstopper tight I would recommend | |
| Rating: | |
I use this product for many indoor and outdoor activities and it works. A great fit that you can wear under pants for skiing, etc., or just wear alone when running errands. Flattering, not body-hugging like others I've tried i.e. Mountain Hardware women's tight. I'm petite, barely 5'3 and around 112 lbs and I went with the XS which was perfect. Nice drawstring waist, zippers at the ankles, high quality craftsmanship and so light it feels like you're wearing nothing. And of course, very insulating from the winds we get here in the Northeast. I had purchased the Mountain Hardware women's tight last year and was surprised at how poorly the product was thought out. You could barely squeeze your legs into the pant only to realize that the waist band had ZERO give making it impossible, and I mean impossible, to get over your hips (again, I'm quite petite). I am in love with the North Face Windstopper tight. A lot of consideration when into this product and I highly recommend it. | |

Comfortable! | |

I worn these tights for snowshoeing and they were very comfortable and warm enough for me. I didn't have to wear another layer, but I was running in the snow and working hard! These are windproof in the front, and water resistant. I got wet in the seat area when I had to slide down the hills but they dried fast. When outside temperature is 0-10 celcius, they were too warm for snowshoeing but they were very breathable so was not unbearable. They fit big, does not fit like "tights" but more like slim "pants". I am 5'1", normally wears small but X-small fits great (not snug), waist band - sits comfortably at waist and length slightly long. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. | |

VERY Comfortable | |

I have only worn these pants a couple times and the other day it was about 4 degrees outside, sunny and no wind...and I wore them while taking a walk but because it was so cold felt a need to also put some long underwear on under them. I'm glad I did because my legs still did get cold so they are not as wind proof as I thought they might be. I also think they ran a little big and although I'm usually a medium, I'm quite sure a small would have probably fit better...but I can wear long underwear underneath for added warmth so that's a good thing. Other than that, they are very comfortable and I like them very much !!! | |

Nice Fit, Decent Wind-Blocking | |
| Rating: | |
| I got these for winter bicycle commuting in NYC. Rode downtown in them for the first time this morning in 26 degree windy weather. They fit great, they are very flattering and comfortable, and not as tight-fitting as actual "tights." They make a swishing noise when walking in them, though, and they were about as good at wind blocking as my Title Nine Cold Killer pants. I would recommend these pants highly, but you will definitely want a base layer under them if using them in extreme cold. | |

Excellent all around aerobic pants | |

If I could only own one pair of pants in my life, it would be these. Super comfy, great for relaxing, running errands, cycling in rain or wind, running on chilly mornings, hiking and hanging out at the campfire. Can't find any reason not to love these pants. I'm 5'5", 125 lbs. Got the medium so they could fit over my bike shorts, and they are plenty big. If I just wanted to run in them, I'd have gotten a small. They are long in the leg. | |

not a warm tight | |

Runs really big. Only the front panels over the thighs are windproof. The back of the tight including the butt is a thin, non- wind resistant fleece. Overall, not a warm tight. | |

Not really warm. | |

Ordered and returned 'em. I run in Chicago winter and need more than just windstopper-- I need some insulation/warmth the whole way around. I'd rate these to 30 degrees, if that. Behind the windstopper and in the back, they're really thin. | |
