I purchased the black palm tights in mid-May and have found them perfect for cycling around Vancouver. The fabric looks and feels luxurious and they are very well made; the stitching is top notch. Both the waist band and the legs of the tights stay in place from start to finish. No sagging or slipping. The padding is streamlined and does wonders to ensure a comfortable ride. The fit is just perfect, thanks to a good sizing chart, and excellent online and in-store service. It truly is a pleasure to cycle in these tights.
