cold weather activities are much more pleasant
I am 6'1'' and thin. Cold-weather mountain biking as well as skate skiing just got a lot more enjoyable. Not too tight under the rump, and with such a flattering fit , I have worn these to relaxed social events. Thank goodness for Sporthill. My only suggestion is that the Longs could be a little longer, but who's complaining?
fantastic winter tight
I am usually disappointed in winter leggings, but SportHill knocked this one out off the park! These have a soft hand, brushed with a buttery feel, and the moment I pulled them over my knee, I knew I had a winner by how well they stretched in the right places. I am a bodybuilder with an hourglass figure, 175 lbs, 5'4", and the medium fits me like a glove. I wore them on a two-hour hike in 34° F and they kept me warm and toasty, especially as I was climbing hills. I want to buy one more pair. I will wear them for spring skiing because they are perfect for those temps and move very well with my body in athletic endeavors. Strong stitching. Well-made. Highly recommended!
Great Cold Weather Tight
I finally bought the Saga tights! I had tried the previous version of the tight and they did not fit me so I sent them back but because I was desperate for a cold weather tight I thought I would try the new version. They are great! I am 5'9 140lbs with small hips and big legs. I bought the small- long size. They looked really small out of the package but I put them on and they fit great. I wore them today on our 8 mile Columbia Gorge hike. I was never too hot or cold. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a cold weather tight.
Please bring back the old version
While there are a couple of nice things about the new version -- the pocket, the waistband -- I do wish that the tights fit like the original Saga tight. I prefer the fitted leg and I thought that the ankle zippers were great as it makes the tights so much easier to put on and take off. Heavy socks tuck up inside the tights, then zip, then boots go on over the tights. The fabric is great -- it does pill but basically holds up very well. My four pair of the original Saga tights are now so old but I keep wearing them. Hope to see that the original version gets reinstated!
Saga Pants (Tights)
I LOVE the saga pants! I do not agree with the other reviewer..the pants fits perfectly. I am 5 ft 4 inches and 112 lbs and they hug me perfectly. Today I wore them x-country skiing and it was a cold day and they kept me warm, they moved really well and I felt like they made me look great. My new favorite winter pants!
There is the good and the bad about this new version of the Saga Tight
I have been wearing the Saga Tights for the last 12 years. The latest version has a wonderful wide waistband that I love. Gone are the ankle zippers which I don’t miss. However, now the legs are no longer snug. They are now so big and baggy that someone with slender legs finds themselves swimming in them. Now they fit like baggy pants and they are no longer tights. It’s time for Sporthill to update their description of them and create a new pair of tights once again!
Saga Tight
I love how these fit - snug and extremely comfortable, but not too tight. I live in NE Oregon where it can get cold in all seasons. I'll be taking these on fall and spring rafting trips, summer backpacking trips, and XC ski outings at high elevation. I've worn this fabric before and have truly needed it when the weather turned and I got wet. So happy to have something this well-made and comfy.
Saga Tight
I’ve worn three different versions of the Saga and this is my favorite by far. The wider waistband and more room in the seat to make it not pull down when I’m running (and skiing) . I’m on the larger size of a medium and though they are a dense fabric, they fit like a tight on me with a little wiggle room at the bottom so they will fit over my cross country ski boots. I use these in the summer for my warm backpacking pant/pajama and in the winter for running, XC skiing, and as a base layer under a shell for downhill skiing. Very useful and warm!
Saga Tight
Very disappointed with the new Saga Tight
I Loved the old style Saga II. Fit well and very flattering
All year I waited patiently for Sporthill to fulfill their promise of returning to the previous "old" style/cut. Last year's version was baggy thigh (jodhpur style). Uncomfortable and "poochie" looking.
I received new version yesterday and was disappointed with baggy thigh again. Slight improvement but not enough
I will return my items
Great pants but unpredictable in sizing.
I have been buying these tights for over a decade. They have been the warmest, most comfortable ones I have ever owned and they made some nice changes with the new wasteland and removing the zippers. However, legs are cut so big this year that they are no longer tights. There are extra folds in them all the way to the upper thighs. The fit is still perfect in the waste band and hips, so you can’t size down as suggested and on both pairs the left leg was an inch and a half larger than the right.
