I threw away all of my drab and boring 'Rocky circa 1976' sweatpants about 6 years ago and switched exclusively over to spandex based tights for exercise activities in cooler to cold weather. First it was 'running tights' then unpadded cycling tights for the gym. I decided recently that I wanted to mix in some tights that are a little more colorful and unique and the Kapow Speedline Meggings caught my eye. The fit is fine, the two types of pockets are useful and though they were a little glossier than what I usually wear, they felt and looked great on me. I also purchased a pair of the Touchdown Pro Meggings.
