The Tracksmith Turnover tights are hard to take off. Once on, you just want to keep them on all day. The Inverno Blend fabric feels so soft, luxurious and stretchy that I found myself stretching out more during the day; always a bonus for any runner.
The bonded seams ensure no chafing and thankfully there are no unsightly bumps from inner drawstrings to disguise – instead, the waistband is secure, flat and ergonomic. The lumber zip pocket is useful for small items, but not big enough for a phone which could put some runners off, and that price is on the high end. Overall though, performance and style are excellent and these are ideal for track or club sessions, although perhaps not a first choice for the coldest long winter runs.
