What are the Austra Tights?These versatile tights aren't like your traditional gym leggings, neither are they quite the same as a pair of softshell trousers, they're a bit of both! They're protective, weather-resistant and ultra-comfortable softshell tights designed for cold-weather excursions where standard tights would be out of their depth.
What are they made of?They're made using Mountain Equipment's own Exolite 280 stretch double-weave softshell fabric. This is a water-resistant, wind-resistant, warm fabric designed to offer gym legging comfort with softshell trouser protection. Exolite is largely constructed using nylon to offer high amounts of abrasion-resistance with elastane thrown in to add vital stretch and comfort.
What are their features?Unlike a gym legging, these are loaded with pockets! You've got two zipped hand pockets for your phone, keys, snacks, etc, and two zipped thigh pockets for larger bits and bobs. An integrated low-profile belt keeps them securely in place and a handy set of ankle zips makes them easy to get on and off.
How do they fit?Slimmer than a softshell trouser but not as skin-tight as a gym legging; a happy medium! The fabric is super-stretchy, so they'll never feel restrictive.
