I was excited to get my hands on these from what is arguably the most stylish brand in running right now. These are super luxe, made from a wool blend – but with elastane for some decent compression; nevertheless the feel is definitely tights rather than leggings. Thankfully, there’s a pocket big enough for a phone at the back (a second for keys would have been ideal). The waistband is really comfortable, and they stay put without need of a drawstring. But importantly, they’re beautifully warm and incredibly comfortable – the sort of tights that will beckon you out even on the most grisly days, and we need more things like that in our running wardrobe at this time of year. That price knocks it from top spot, however…
