I have a pair of the thermal tights and I wear them all the time when training in the winter so when I saw there was new technology to go with it I had to order them. You won't regret it, the LED light strip is great for visibility.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

To those that have said their LED isn't working. Mine wasn't either but I saw that the batter holder that is in the pants leg was easily opened. Once open, there was a small plastic piece between the battery and the clip that holds the batter in place. Once I removed that piece of plastic, the LED worked like a charm.

I run a few days a week for over 20 years and have acquired over 2 dozen different styles of running tights over that time. I've had these R-Gear Night Watch tights for about 2 years and they are by far my most favorite tights for cool weather running and cycling. I'm getting my second pair now. They are made with incredibly soft fabric on the inside and sooooo comfortable, I could wear them all day. I was a little concerned about modesty, but the blue and black fabric panels look so good as a top layer, I don't even feel the need to wear shorts over them. The style looks like they are meant to be worn as a top layer.
Also, I run a lot in early mornings and evenings. In Winter, this time is usually pretty dark out, so the L.E.D. lighting and reflective side panels add a lot of visibility and make me feel much safer running along roads that have no sidewalks or little or no shoulder on the road. The battery and switch for the L.E.D. light is hidden just inside the right ankle zipper and it sits in a small fabric pocket so it doesn't chafe my leg. It is hardly noticeable and looks like a small button under the fabric just below and to the outside of my right calf. I can easily turn it on or off during my run with changes in the day light. The battery is simple to change or temporarily remove before washing. I also bought the matching L.E.D lighted "Night Watch" Half-Zip jacket. The tights and jacket together make a great kit for cycling, too. I give these tights a solid 5 stars though they are a little warm for Summer running in my climate zone (Georgia), but Fall, Winter, and Spring these are fantastic - love 'em. Also, I'm 6' 5" with a 36" inseam, so these are a little short for my height -- I need to wear crew length black socks with them or my ankles are exposed. Would be great if R-Gear made these in a Tall size. Regardless, even if you are tall like me, I would definitely recommend them.

Excellent. Very warm and block the wind, would highly recommend

I've only worn them once, but they kept me warm on a very rainy, 45 degree day. Light works great, and the electronics are removable for washing.

Buy them ... I bought 2 pairs.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

Very well made, comfortable and fit nicely.

I wore these for the first time with temps in the teen's and wind chills in single digits. Quite warm. The only gripe I have is that they are a little short. I'm 6'1" with long legs. Plus, the area around the ankle was too loose. I have skinny ankles. Since they were on sale, a good value. I haven't yet tried the LED lights.

I am in Alaska and it is dark 18 hours a day in the winter or more at times, so these hopefully will help me be seen riding the bike to and from work in traffic or for recreation. a good buy

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

Great pair of tights.... The only thing is the LED light doesn't function. Not a big deal, got them for a great price.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

These tights are well made and are warm, the material used on these tight is not thin so you will get more protection in the event of a fall. I haven't had a need for the light but, I didn't buy the pant for that reason however it nice to have if needed. As for the pocket in the back side I'm not a big fan I would prefer having a pocket on the side. Overall I'm very pleased with the tights.

First, I have purchased two pairs of these tights so that I can rotate them through those early evening winter runs. And though the LED strip is a selling point for visibility, the large reflective panels greatly enhance nighttime visibility. These reflective panels have held up well washing them inside out on the gentle wash cycle.

These tights are best for when temperatures drop; anywhere from the high teens to the 40's (°F). They can be a little warm above these temperatures if you are running at a fast pace. I like keep my legs warm to have them operate efficiently and have used them in a couple of marathons when the temperatures have been at or below freezing. The zippered leg bottoms can be used to cool the ankle area somewhat but don't provide a lot of temperature control.

Though comfortably snug, these are not high compression tights though they will limit leg muscle bounce. I have found that these tights fit well and stay in place. The zippered pocket on the back is fairly generously sized as pockets go (enough for a small set of keys, a small ID holder and money and a couple of gel packets).

Even though the catalog and web site says the medium has a 28" inseam, I went with the small and it fits my 29" inseam perfectly. The medium would have been too long/big.

Superior workmanship and detail. I will purchase other R Gear products. I was so impressed that I bought two.

was just what the doctor ordered for the weather window between winter and spring and the time change

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

Looks and feels good. Been running long distances in them this Winter and they have been comfortable and warm. I do a lot of running at night and was looking for added visibility. These are just OK, but I would like to see more L.E.D. lighting on these tights. That's the only reason I gave them a 4 star rating instead of 5.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

I like them. Very comfortable, thicker than the Helly Hansen pair I was wearing before but that is good as the old ones wore out quickly.

Couldn't figure out at first what the little plastic tube was down by the right ankle, but traced it back and found a button that turns on an LED light. Wasn't expecting that but I run in the twilight a lot up here in the Pacific NW so that might come in handy for visibility.

My second pair. First still in use after surviving intact serious fall on asphalt.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

The built in light is an added bonus.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

The pants themselves are good in cold weather, comfortable. But every time I set the light on, I was getting home and it was off. After a couple runs like that, I started to check it during the run, and it was turning off after only a couple strides. Maybe it's my light, but check it out on your first run with these.

I do not normally take the time to write reviews of products. These tights are so great that I am compelled to finally write in praise of this product. They are sufficiently warm and they fit perfectly, and are very comfortable to wear. In this upstate New York winter that has been especially brutal this year I have been warm and comfortable running in these. I really like the added attraction of the lighted seam, although I have not run at night lately.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

Got these as a gift for winter running--just in time for the arctic air in Rhode Island. Felt good, kept me warm on several sub 20-degree runs, but felt a bit warm when the temperature got up into the upper 30s. May be TOO warm for my hometown of Knoxville, TN!

Comments about Mens R-Gear Night Watch Thermo Fitted Tights:

Great product that performs well. My only complaint is that the drawcord design allows the wast to slide down very slightly.
